TRUDEAU AND HIS BLACK AND BROWN FACES  

If  tou click your mouse on the underlined words, you will get motr information.

After the Time Magazine published their story of the first incident of Trudeau’s blackface,” he came clean. He admitted that, as a teacher at West Point Grey Academy in Vancouver, he painted his face, neck and hands black and wore a turban to make himself look LIKE AN Arab. He was 29 years old at the time.

There was a time in years past when it wasn’t offensive for white persons to paint their faces black or brown for a skit, a play or a musical. The famous composer, George Gershwin did it in a musical he wrote. No one took offence in that era for what he and other white performers had done with their faces.

Nowadays, any white person who does it is presumed that he or she does it to insult people whose skins are black or brown.

Did Canadian  Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau do it 18 years ago to insult those with those skin colours?  Even if that wasn’t his motive, it was a stupid thing to do. Now what he did is coming back to him like a hurricane. It might actually sweep him out of office when the next election results are published. I don’t know who is going to win in this federal election but I already know who has a lot to lose.

Justin Trudeau has apologized after the 2001 photo of him wearing a brown face surfaced during the second week of his campaign for re-election. When asked how many times he wore such makeup, he declined to say definitively whether there were more instances of him wearing dark makeup. He did say that he did not remember each instance. He also said that his privilege gives him a blind spot on the issue. Is he saying that as prime minister, he doesn’t have to answer any questions with respect to these events?

In his apology, he said, “I shouldn’t have done that. I should have known better but I didn’t and I’m really sorry.”

Just as some Liberals began heralding Trudeau for his honesty and maturity in admitting and apologizing for his worst mistakes, we learned there were plenty more skeletons in this man’s closet.

Trudeau’s heartfelt apology was not the “learning moment” he had claimed. He hadn’t fully come clean. On the next day, Global News released a video of Trudeau, again in “blackface,” this time dancing around like a racist fool.

When asked why these incidents of racism were not flagged when Trudeau first ran for the office of Prime Minister of Canada,  he said he never disclosed them because he was too embarrassed to admit to his stupidity.

Let me tell you something about apologies. When my two young daughters did something wrong that I and their mother didn’t know about and they told us what they had done that was wrong,  we wouldn’t  punish them but if they kept  it a secret from us and we discovered what they did that was wrong, then they would be punished.

I honestly believe that had Trudeau made public on his own volition that he painted his face black and brown and had publically apologized for that stupidity, he would have shown the voters that although it was stupid thing he did 18 years ago. he was an honest man and that he regretted what he did 18 years ago,   then his apology would be taken seriously by the voters. 

Having kept his stupid acts secret and then apologizing for his wrongful stupid acts after his actions are disclosed,  is akin to a man who hacks away at the foundation of his house and then tries to escape the rubble that buries him before anyone can recue him.  

What he has done is to convince the general public that he is capable of keeping secret any other stupid and perhaps wrongful acts while he is in office.

President Trump promised the voters that he would disclose his tax returns but he lied when he made that statement. Now public particulars of his tax returns may bite him in the ass.  It is too late for him to appear to the voters that he is a credible man. The same concern applies to Trudeau.

Trust is the foundation of a politician’s candidacy for public office.  In Trudeau’s platform, the support for his platform is shaky at best. 

Justin Trudeau didn’t have to be led into the temptation of avoiding telling the public the whole truth.  He found his own way into that particular temptation.

Trudeau and his political allies have been accused of pressuring Canada’s now-former minister of justice and attorney general, Jody Wilson-Raybould, to drop criminal corruption charges against the Quebec-based engineering company SNC-Lavalin. Instead, they wanted her to merely issue financial penalties, which would allow the company to avoid a 10-year ban on bidding on federal contracts. SNC-Lavalin is suspected of bribing the Libyan government during the regime of the late Muammar Qaddafi.

It’s been a turbulent time for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to be CaTrump have that same problem.

At what point in his life did Trudeau finally realize that painting your skin black and brown and mimicking American racists from the 1950s was not appropriate in the 2000s? He became too smart too late.    

Canada’s prime minister is running for office again.  And to make matters worse for the Liberal Party leader, he can’t seem to keep his stories straight. He and
