Justin Trudeau brownface photo surfaces ahead of Canada election

No, man. You just don't get it do you? We have different opinions. I don't think I'm wrong. I think that the road MLK paved for us leads to a world where anyone can paint themselves in any color, without it being racist. That is the true racism-free world I dream of. People like you are the one's in the way, if less so than actual racists.

If a racist heard the original MLK speech, he would find it just as bad as you found my version.

I realize that my version is absurd in the current moral climate, hence it being funny. It's only funny if you actually agree with it, though. Or if you are a racist and think it's making fun of non-racists, in which case we again come to the fact that intention defines morality in such cases.

Blackface can be racist when done in America by someone trying to be racist or otherwise improper. Blackface can be seen as racist or offending by some people if done harmlessly by anyone anywhere.

But blackface doesn't have to be racist. Which is my ultimate point. As soon as non-racist are able to come together and share hands, painting one's face in any color becomes harmless fun.
