Aladdin wasn't white. So if you're playing Aladdin and you're white you need to put brown makeup on.

It's as simple as that people!

Right. Somebody close the thread and be done with it. Jesus Christ.

Another brown guy.

Anybody can play Aladdin, you gormless fool, regardless of their skin colour (who the hell are you to dictate who can and can't play Aladdin?), and if you happen to be white then necessity dictates you wear brown makeup.

If I were to go to a fancy dress party as Aladdin I would paint my face brown, not because I hate brown people but because Aladdin was most likely to be brown. Thinking otherwise would be the same as thinking people who painted their skin blue and dressed as Smurfs hate Smurfs. No, they ****ing don't. They LOVE Smurfs, you idiot.

Do I make myself clear? Am I right yet again?

North American snowflakes getting upset at someone wearing brown makeup to dress as Aladdin would have a coronary if they ever watched Aladdin in a British pantomime.

This Blackface is NOT the Racism that concerns me

My daughter engaged me in a conversation last night after the media circus started.
When I told her that I'm not bothered by those photos generally and I'm not hurt or offended by this one. I am more offended that this will prevent a serious conversation on the real racism in Canada. I’m seeing that the media actually has airtime to allocate to a real Racism talk if they wanted to engage in that real talk. They should be using this time for it. She seemed puzzled

She: "but it's racist to wear a blackface"
Me: " maybe, sometimes, it depends on the intent"
She: "so you think Trudeau's photo is not racist?"
Me: " Honestly not this photo"
She: " but it is racist to wear a blackface"
Me: " That's absolutely NOT the racism I'm concerned about. I am more concerned about these different racism
1. where over 86% of visa applications from sub-Saharan Africans are rejected in Canada
2. where school principals call the police on black kids systematically thus throwing them in the criminal justice system, but for other kids they just call the parents and talk it over
3. where landlords refuse to rent to black people especially Black single mothers in ridiculous numbers
4. where International aids to African countries are cut and the money is diverted to wars
5. where Universities reject or restrict black kids’ applications in medicine, aerospace, other stem.
6. where most governments only have 1 black cabinet member even when they have more elected representatives to choose from
7. where Crown prosecutors demand trials systematically for Black kids instead of mediation, knowing that they can’t afford lawyers
8. where the hiring processes are rigged to decrease the number of Black people who access a higher level of positions
9. where only one Black organization gets funded per cycle no matter how many apply

I can go on and on

These are the racisms I want the media to talk about, especially when there are elections. These are the racisms that affect people, not some 20 years old costume photo of a politician, an actor, an actress, an athlete…etc

Had Trudeau dressed as Aladdin and NOT painted his face brown, keeping it white, the same morons would actually now be accusing him of racism, demanding he apologise for not portraying himself as a brown fella.

You can't win with these Lefty Liberals. Their whole belief system is a tangled thread of hypocrisy and self-contradiction.

I suppose now we aren't even allowed to say "Wat choo talkin bout Willis!" anymore.

We'll be accused of offending a black midget...(Gary Coleman).

My prediction:

Like I stated earlier. This is an Ottawa Bubble story. It will not resonate with Joe Sixpack or Sally Housecoat. Reasonable Canadians don't give a rat about black make-up being worn decades ago by our PM.

Trudeau gets re-elected in a landslide next month. Heard it here first.

Jesus Christ it's the end of the world, again.


I actually agree with Blackie on something (for maybe the second time)

Really? After all the crap about cultural appropriation? And considering the most recent known event was in 2001, that would put Groper into his 30's. Well old enough to have known better. Especially with his "I'm oh so progressively woke" shtick. And I say most recent "known" event because after lying about there being more after the 2nd pic was released and a third one popped up, he now refuses to state definitely if there are or aren't any more like them. And then excuses the nonsense by suggesting that he likes dressing up in costume more than he should, and, that it was because he was a product of the mythical White privilege.



And if people want to to excuse it as merely "acting", well then it's too goddam bad the stupid little prick couldn't act like a PM for the last 4 years instead of some wannabe Chinese dictator.

There's no shortage of Black Americans who insist that Trump isn't a racist but that still doesn't prevent you and the rest of the TDS "white privilege" crowd from insisting he is.
