Should the TSBD be demolished?

[Richard Smith]

Trudeau (who's half-Scottish, half-French-Canadian) was 29 when he dressed as "Aladdin" (ie: not African-American) at an "Arabian Nights" dinner at the college where he taught. Pretty far from "Amos 'n' Andy". What's important is that he apologized and did not appoint racists or backwards-thinkers when he got into power.

Trudeau's Cabinet

Trump's Cabinet

Yes, America is much more a utopia for minorities, ethnics and refugees.

Sure. Continue to ignore your own party's role in perpetuating racism.

Seems so remote and abstract now, but it was only in 2005 that Ken Mehlman, the RNC chairman, apologized to the NAACP for his party's "racial polarization". The GOP was talking stock and acknowledging its history. John McCain famously corrected a Republican bigot over Obama's religion. But McCain lost, most thought Palin exemplified the party better, and they veered right with Romney (a Trump "pick"). It became a slippery slope which led to January 6.

Jerry you are a good guy.  I actually like you despite your politics.  But it is a falsehood to suggest that Trudeau didn't dress in blackface.  There is a video of of him in blackface with an afro sticking his tongue out.  Trudeau has admitted that he did so.  Why not condemn this and ask for him to resign if racism instead of political affiliation is the determinative factor?

Nice try Richard. 

There are no "falsehoods". You can't even name one falsehood that you ridiculously claim. Everything that I've stated was 100% accurate including articles that I've posted.

Name one?  How about this:  "Richard is misinformed because he listens to right wing propaganda. He viciously attacks every Democratic President while distorting their record and posts deliberate misinformation."  Remarkably you made this claim in response to my praise of LBJ (a "Democratic President" last time I checked) in advancing Civil Rights.  It is therefore demonstrably false.

No it isn't false. You made up bogus propaganda against President John F. Kennedy and President Joe Biden. That is a fact.

Ugh.  Again, while I was praising LBJ you posted this:  "He viciously attacks every Democratic President'.  Unreal.  And you take issue with me criticizing JFK while you defend Oswald who murdered him?  That is tin foil hat stuff.

You gave a lukewarm response about LBJ.

Where am I defending Oswald?

[Rick Plant]

Youthful antics?  Trudeau was almost 30 when he did this.  Wow that's a lame defense from someone who is so concerned with racism. It makes me wonder if it is politics rather than racism that dictates your opinions.  Trudeau is a spoiled, elitist racist of the first order.  He wore blackface on more than one occasion.  Imagine the hue and cry if Trump had done that?  But that's fine because Trudeau is a liberal woke.  Nothing to see there.  Canadians need to concern themselves with America instead of their own racist guy.  BTW.  How many African-Americans are leaving "racist" America for your socialist utopia?  What percentage of the Canadian population is black?  Do they call it the Great White North for a reason?  Maybe ask Trudeau when he finishes singing "Ol' Man River" at his next frat party.

Jerry you are a good guy.  I actually like you despite your politics.  But it is a falsehood to suggest that Trudeau didn't dress in blackface.  There is a video of of him in blackface with an afro sticking his tongue out.  Trudeau has admitted that he did so.  Why not condemn this and ask for him to resign if racism instead of political affiliation is the determinative factor? 

 

So, you want to dig up an incident from 20 years ago when Trudeau wasn't even a leader, wanting him to resign now, but say nothing when your current GOP officials are being racist at this very minute. Pathetic!

You missed out an important word in your reply to Rick's post, Richard.

"And you take issue with me criticising JFK while you defended  Owald  who "ALLEGEDLY"  murdered him."


Just to remind you, Oswald  was never tried for the crime,  no matter what you say.
