As a penance Trudeau should spend a year identifying as a black man and see how it feels to live like one.

Still though the image of this douche in blackface singing the banana boat song is pure cringe.

Apologize profusely in 3 different ways about 5 times each way, donate money to a scam minority charity, and resign from public office with a tear-filled speech.
Then come back into the public space after a token scam minority community leader absolves him of his completely inoffensive actions crimes. Probably before his resignation date occurs, magically.
I think we all know that no, they won't hold him to the same standards they would if someone on the right had done it. If it had came out that Trump had done the exact same thing long ago even when he was just a teenager every single person on the left would be screaming for his impeachment even if he had apologized for it in the same way the sjw pussy Trudeau recently apologized for doing it himself.

Thinking about it, this is different then traditional "blackface", imo. He wasn't trying to look like a black man. He was trying to look like Aladdin.
The difference may seem academic, but I doubt race was even on his mind. Intent SHOULD matter, when it comes to attacking somebody's actions, imo. Taking offense for an inadvertent act isn't really an excuse to try and ruin somebody, especially if the person who gave offense is contrite about it..
On the other hand, if that same person has a history of weaponizing race for political gain, you could chalk this up as karma.

Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
That's exactly the point, intent SHOULD matter.
Accusations that blackface implies racism is very much an American thing especially in the political arena.
One of the origins of blackface was The Black & White Minstrel Show.
It was produced by the BBC in 1958 & featured a musical cast who would wear blackface & sing traditional American minstrel & country songs. The show ran for 20 years & even toured o/seas.
It was cancelled in 1978 when social & racial sensitivities became an issue.
Er you're confused bro there are multiple instances. Dude sported black and brown face.
And don't you dare suggest intent matters. All that matters is the feelings of the offended, haven't you learned?
