I gotta give Trudeau credit, he really committed to his bit. He didn't just do it once for laughs, the man LOVED blackface and apparently broke it out for every possible occasion.
I’m curious if he had this on his conscience the entire time, like he remembered and feared it might one day come out, or if he’d forgotten and was blindside buy it.
I think he could only hope that it’d never come out. He’s so zealously liberal, and it’s so utterly indefensible, that I don’t think he had any other play. Imagine him trying to get ahead of it by saying, “I have worn blackface....four times.” Like damn, how many pictures did this cat take while wearing it?
Welcome to what you could wonder about every public figure who has something dredged up from their past.
Nah, not right now. This, though, happened so frequently that I’m curious as to what his specific thoughts have been.
No doubt when all the other politicians had their pictures of being in blackface coming out he had to have gone "ruh roh".
is that like a skull pattern with it? like going for a witch doctor racist trope? These are highly specific racist costumes. Why stop at 4? probably more to come. hell, he could be wearing blackface right now.
Let’s say he does remember these incidents, does he then have a checklist to keep track of when he can breathe easy again because it’s over.
I'm going to say no. I bet each time he is like, "oh yeah, shit. That was a crazy idea. Oh-- yep, yep, I remember that one now too. [uck fay]."
