I say cut the guy some slack! Like he's say's he's changed person, and wasn't doing it to degrade any race. Yes, even the PM of Canada deserves a break. The man apologized I think with a sincere heart. Al Sharpton was being accused of being a racist today for things that go way back, he is being given break too. Let their current actions/conduct represent them now.
So someone explain this to me..... the whole issue, as I understand it, is that blackface is offensive because it represents the minstrels and racism in America. But this isn't blackface..... apparently he was doing An Aladdin costume/impression. Aladdin isn't black. He's Middle Eastern. So how does this reflect the racism in America when it's not IN America and it's not a black person?
1- the act of painting your face to appear darker is the issue, it doesnt matter where/who you are imitating 2- white people dont get to decide what is offensive to black people 3- 'blackface' i dont think means you are only limited to imitating black people; brown/black/whatever it is, putting on make up strikes a nerve for people of color, so thats that.
Being offended about something that happened in ANOTHER COUNTRY that has nothing to do with our history or our culture is ridiculous. I'm sorry.
The Kavanaugh rule is to impeach individuals for sexual misconduct without corroboration or substantiation.
Wrong. You would have to have impeachment and conviction to even get a discussion started to accept that definition. Also, you'd have to have a reasonable FBI investigation before impeachment hearings could even be considered.
There was a reasonable FBI investigation. So that is the Kavanaugh rule? Have a reasonable FBI investigation, which did happen in his case and they found nothing credible. Got it.
So the FBI needs to conduct an FBI Investigation whether or not Justin Trudeau put on Black Face or not.
No, the investigation was guided by the White House and omitted 15 witnesses including one proposed by a senator. There were only four days allowed for interviewing witnesses.
So there was no FBI investigation? How many days should they have interviewed witnesses? And how are you going to apply this rule to Trudeau?
Define a reasonable FBI investigation. Apparently the FBI did very little to investigate the allegations and the trump administration made sure they laid out a very narrow area that could be investigated and failed to interview several leads. I wouldn't call that an investigation and would label it more as lip service. Wonder why this administration is in so fear of the truth that they have to obstruct pretty much any investigation involving trump.
There really wasn't anything other than someone's recollection from 30 years ago with no corroboration.
why are you concerned about Trudeau so much? Last I checked, he is not an American and is not an American politician.
