'Darkening your face is always unacceptable because of the racist history of blackface. I should have understood that then, and I never should have done it.'
Justin Trudeau apologizes again, blames 'privilege' as third blackface instance emerges. Here's what we knowWASHINGTON--Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's re-election campaign was rocked again Thursday as he issued a second apology after another instance of him in dark makeup was reported by the media. After a second picture and a video emerged of him wearing blackface, the Canadian politician asked for forgiveness.
He then admitted that he did not know how many times he had put on dark makeup. “I am wary of, of being definitive about this because the recent pictures that came out I had not remembered.” “He attended with friends and colleagues dressed as a character from Aladdin,” she told the magazine. The outlet reported that officials of Canada's Liberal Party, which Trudeau leads, confirmed the video and that the footage was from the early 1990s.'Not fit to govern,' 'deeply shocked,' 'a teachable moment'
Trudeau has positioned himself as a champion of social justice, inclusivity and diversity during his tenure as prime minister, and told reporters Wednesday voters should make their decisions based on what candidates do in office and"on a case-by-case basis.”
