    Didn't some talk show host do the same? I doubt very much they would do it again, I hope.
    Are we now raising are kids to dig up stuff on anyone of the opposite political party and get nasty?

    Nope. But like I said, I didn't hear anything from you trumpets when a republican governor did the same thing.

    Not smart, not a good move, not acceptable...but when these things happen and the person was/is young I highly doubt they even understand why its insensitive and racist. I doubt people in here even realize why its those things actually.

    Not famous enough.

    I only bring it up, because he will likely confabulate his words trying to explain his actions and this will eventually lead him to resign when he should just tell everyone to fuck off about it.

    We'll all have a good ol' laugh about it.

    Watched the PM on a new shot, apologize profusely, this morning. Two points he made, leave me wondering why they need to be made. It seems to be a liberal thing, so I don't get it. I suspect someone will help me out.

    First about the black face, he says, he did it, he is deeply sorry. Says he should have known better, growing up with privilege left him with a blind spot.

    These statement leave me with two questions;
    I can't relate to growing up with privilege but I can see, perhaps the son of a PM might have sensed the moment that I missed. Would that be it?
    Second, I really don't get why he should have known better! I can't recall when someone acting with black face became a bad thing, nor do I know just what the hell is so bad if they do when not knowing it is so bad? Now, I have no desire to do so, can't ever recall that the idea ever crossed my mind, but what would be so evil about it?

    Not trying to trigger anyone, just attempting to understand the evolution or maybe the elevation of the event to a crime.

    I do remember Al Jolson performing in black face in old movies when I was young. I did wonder why he did it. But don't remember ever getting an answer.

    Recently my grandmother passed and we were looking through old photo albums she put together. Found one of my brothers and I on Halloween. My older brother who was probably about 12 was a football player in full black face. Probably from around '93-'94, I don't remember.

    Made me think, what is the statute of limitations on someone doing blackface? Should he be tarred and feathered? Again, it's my older brother, so I'd be first in line if the order is sent down from the SJWs.

    I think we need a full definition of blackface, as in, is it racist still if you are 12 and your favorite football player is OBJ, so you create a costume replicating him?

    If you went to any school event these days in a costume like that I almost gaurantee they send you home.

    Ah!
    I may have gotten a partial answer, somewhat unwittingly from @TorturedBlazerFan in another thread.
    Perhaps as some what of natural follower of the Stoic Philosophy, I am just naturally reticent to judge others for doing what I might not do, might not feel.

    Sorry to inform you, but your brother is a racist. He needs to resign from whatever position he holds at whatever job he is at and issue a public apology, promptly. There are white liberals out there who he has hurt deeply with his actions. You should probably distance yourself from him.

    As much as I despise SJW cancel culture, I’m actually pretty excited to see Trudeau’s public apology. I think it will be comedy gold.
