Justin Trudeau Wore Brownface at 2001 ‘Arabian Nights’ Party While He Taught at a Private School

Will he be forced over this instead of the political influence scandal? Was his costume racist? Or will the Left forgive?

Justin Trudeau Wore Brownface at 2001 ‘Arabian Nights’ Party While He Taught at a Private School

Time Anna Purna Kambhampaty,Time 2 hours 1 minute ago

Justin Trudeau, Canada’s prime minister, wore brownface makeup to a party at the private school where he was teaching in the spring of 2001. TIME has obtained a photograph of the incident.

The photograph has not been previously reported. The picture was taken at an “Arabian Nights”-themed gala. It shows Trudeau, then the 29-year-old son of the late former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, wearing a turban and robes with his face, neck and hands completely darkened. The photograph appears in the 2000-2001 yearbook of West Point Grey Academy, a private day school where Trudeau was a teacher.

Earlier this month, TIME obtained a copy of the yearbook, The View, with the photograph of Trudeau in brownface from Vancouver businessman Michael Adamson, who was part of the West Point Grey Academy community. Adamson was not at the party, which was attended by school faculty, administrators and parents of students. He said that he first saw the photograph in July and felt it should be made public.

NBC News avoided saying Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wore brown-or-blackface after three photos surfaced in which he dressed up in such costumes, with the network instead calling it a “darkened” face.

A 2001 photo emerged Wednesday evening from TIME that showed Trudeau attending a party dressed as “Aladdin,” complete with brownface. He admitted later Wednesday that he had done this before, prompting the unearthing of a second photo. A third picture of him wearing a blackface emerged Thursday, discovered by Global News.

I think it’s disgusting and indefensible. I don’t think it matters how long ago it was or how much he says he’s changed, I just don’t see how a self-professed liberal can ever justify working for a private school!

Justin Trudeau’s support holds after apology for wearing brownface

By Associated Press Today Updated 12:43 p.m.

Video by Reuters

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged to ban military-style assault rifles if re-elected during a policy announcement where he also took questions about his use of "brownface" makeup.

Liberal Leader and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a policy announcement, today, promising to ban all military-style assault rifles as part of a broader gun-control plan. Trudeau acknowledged today that he let down his supporters — and all Canadians of color — by appearing years ago in brownface and blackface. Yet the scandal’s fallout may be limited in a country without the harsh and still-divisive racial history of the neighboring United States.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau got caught wearing blackface and a lot of people are pretending to be very, very surprised. But were you really surprised? In fact, you probably could have guessed it, actually.

It's a little like finding out that your super sensitive brother-in-law, the one who tells you he is a feminist, the one who is always scolding you for your sexism is, in fact, hitting on the babysitter. Of course, he is hitting on the babysitter.

The virtue is always a cover for the sin. That's the key to understanding the modern left. Whatever they're accusing you of doing, they are doing themselves but more enthusiastically. And that's definitely the story of Justin Trudeau.

DAVE RUBIN: TRUDEAU SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, CONSISTENT WITH LEFT'S RULES

Like your brother-in-law with the ponytail, Trudeau brags about being a feminist. You use the wrong word in his presence, and he'll launch into a self-righteous lecture.

Justin Trudeau's brownface scandal and apology garnered coverage around the globe early Thursday. (CBC News)

The revelation that Justin Trudeau donned brownface for a costume party in 2001 landed too late on Wednesday night to make the print editions of many international publications, but reaction has since picked up around the globe.

The New York Times, for one, remarked on the damage to Trudeau's "carefully calibrated image."

WARREN — FEATURE, MUSINGS —09.24.2019 07:17 AM

MY LATEST: THE SPEECH JUSTIN TRUDEAU SHOULD HAVE GIVEN, BUT WON’T

My fellow Liberals, my fellow Canadians.

Last week, I spoke about the scandal that has hit my campaign. I didn’t do it right, so I’m now going to try again.

First things first: over and over, I used the wrong pronoun. I talked about how “we,” as a country, need to do better. How “we” need to be less racist.

I got that wrong. I shouldn’t have said “we.” I should have said “I.” Because I – not we – was the one who smeared stuff all over my face and my body and mocked black people.

It was I – not we – who was racist. Me. Repeatedly – as a high school student in Montreal, and then as a teacher of high school students in Vancouver.

When I was thirty years old. When I was a man, not a boy. When I was supposed to know better.

In the video that came out, everyone focussed on the blackface-style racism, and they should have. But they missed something, maybe because the video was grainy.

In it, I’m wearing a T-shirt with bananas on the front. I’ve stuffed something down the front of my jeans. And I jump around like an ape.

I did all of that to communicate something that I’m amazed so many of you missed. I did it to suggest that blacks are apes. Which was the worst kind of racism.

Oh, in case you are wondering if I did blackface more than those three times, the answer is yes: I did. I repeatedly, and gleefully, acted like a racist. I can’t remember every detail because I was wasted.

The people who work for me have all forgiven me, of course. What do you expect? When the boss asks people for forgiveness, they will always give it.

But I must say that Liberal MPs of colour – Navdeep Bains, Omar Alghabra, Greg Fergus – surprised even me with how speedily they pronounced me without sin. I think we all know that if Andrew Scheer had done blackface on Halloween at the age of five, Navdeep, Omar and Greg would be convening a Human Rights Tribunal right now to have Scheer thrown in a gulag in Nunavut for the rest his life.

Because black face is racist. What I did was racist. I wanted to communicate that black people are worthy of mockery. That they are apes. That they belong in cages. That’s as racist as it gets.

Now, last week, I tried to excuse away my racism by saying I was a child of privilege. That I had grown up with a “blind spot” about such things. But we all know that’s a lie.

Well, as much as I like both of these ladies and their hutzpah and principle, I think it’s time they “spoke their truth” on Trudeau and the SNC Lavalin affair – regardless of Trudeau’s GAG on them. Trudeau thought is was OK for him to speak and not them. While they’re at it, they should give us the ALL the details on Gerald Butt’s, and the PMO. The so called oath was never intended to prevent possible criminal behaviour of the prime minister to go unchallenged. Citizens have a duty to report crime – period. It’s no different than the code of silence within criminal gangs and the neighbourhood where they live. Silence only perpetuates and condones criminality.

I say vote for both of them if it closes the liberal candidate out, but not if the conservative candidate is favoured to win the seat. Trudeau and the liberals do not deserve a second mandate.

Trudeau – Not As Advertised.

Told a journo friend I doubt the many @JustinTrudeau scandal-stories that media have been sitting on will see light of day. He disagrees, says threshold has now been lowered - and that many reporters now want to be the one who finishes him off, á la Woodward/Bernstein. #elxn43

I Critiqued Trudeau’s Blackface And Was Forced Out Of My Anti-Racism Job

headshot

By Manjot Bains

I was forced out of my job as a program adviser in a federal anti-racism program because Justin Trudeau dressed up in blackface.

When the news broke about the prime minister’s history of wearing racist makeup, I was a senior program adviser in Community Support, Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Initiatives in Canadian Heritage. I worked with a diverse mix of community organizations applying for anti-racism and multiculturalism program funding.

I was shocked and disgusted when I saw the pictures of the prime minister in brownface and blackface when he was a high school student, when he worked for a whitewater rafting company, and when he was a teacher at a Vancouver private school gala.
