That's how it works today Bryce. MOB rules and MOB wins! Your lucky if there was a statue of yourself or a building or a street named after you the MOB would tear down your statue of you would get the building and street renamed due to your racism. Who cares if it happened over 40 years ago or perhaps you were in your teens or early 20's. Once a racist always a racist!! YOU CANNOT CHANGE according to THE MOB. So there you go you racist bastard!Bryce wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2019 11:11 pmOK, so I have a different take.
Way back in 1977, me, a aspiring thespian and current radio "disc jockey" appeared on stage in black face. Again, it was 1977. The 50th anniversary of "The Jazz Singer". A VERY important film for it's time. Many firsts were accomplished with this film. I, as Al Jolson, sang "Toot toot tootsie" and "My Mammy". It was meant as a tribute to a important actor, make people aware of the film and it's import as well as to educate.
By today's standards, I would be a racist bastard. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I don't get why there is such a fuss over this. The world has become too PC and are a bunch of pansies. Good grief!

I don't think anyone should be forced to resign over wearing dark makeup as Bryce pointed out.

For those who have forgotten, Mr. Trudeau absolutely fawned over Fidel Castro when Fidel passed away. He's literally a Fidel Castro fanboy.
That says all we need to know about Trudeau.

I hope he loses the election in October, but not for the black face alone.

His approval percentage has been hanging around 40 percent for many months. I'm not familiar enough with Canadian politics, though, to know how that compares to the norm.

Prime Minister is based on party in control or allied with. Not a direct election.
If Tories pick up a few seats then he is gone.

Re: Justin Trudeau Caught Up In Blackface Scandal-3 Instances So Far
This would be like having Mitch McConnell or Nancy Pelosi for President.Trudeau led the Liberals in the general election of 2015. At dissolution, the Liberals were in third place in the Commons, behind the Conservative Party, which held a majority government, and the New Democratic Party, which formed the Official Opposition. Trudeau led the Liberals to a majority government, defeating both the Conservatives led by Stephen Harper and the New Democrats led by Thomas Mulcair. Trudeau's government was sworn in on November 4, 2015.

I don't mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.

I might be related to 50% of French Canada. I don't think 9th cousin is that close.I try to be reserved in my personal comments about Trudeau out of respect for one of his close family members who posts on this board.

I watched Jagmeet Singh one on one on the CBC The National last night. Seems likeable. Looking at the polls I'm not sure the NDP will fare well.

NDP = New Dope Party
He advocates raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, decriminalizing personal possession of all drugs, and supports eliminating several tax deductions available to the highest-income earners
