Singh says Canadians of colour feel ‘a lot of hurt’ over images of Trudeau wearing blackface

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh comments on the blackface controversy with Justin Trudeau in Toronto on September 18, 2019.The blackface controversy involving Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is not about him but rather the Canadians of colour who face racism and have now been mocked by their prime minister, says NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh.“They are feeling a lot of shame. They’re feeling like they’re not worthy or don’t have value and they’re feeling like they’re nothing.

Mr. Singh, a trained martial artist, called himself a “scrappy kid” and said he was able to fight back against racism he experienced. But he acknowledged not everyone is in a position to fight back, including a close personal friend who contacted him on Wednesday. “When I was speaking, I was thinking about him and how hard it was for him, as a little kid growing up, being treated so horribly because of his identity,” Mr. Singh said.

globepolitics Alot of white canadians feel hurt over illegal immigration.

globepolitics Wtf is the dude talking about? I swear only white ppl are the most hurt at what the PM did😂

globepolitics In this picture Singh looks like he's about to cry........really don't act so fucken hurt 20 years is a long time ago but I'm sure you never did anything wrong in your life. I am not voting for Trudeau but I am not voting for you either.

globepolitics He needs to move on - there are more issues than this looktothefuture

globepolitics Did you take a survey of the 40 million cdns? No you didnt so stick to your delusional election platform and try not to be decimated this election

globepolitics Well I asked the people of colour whom I know, my husband, children, friends and they adamantly deny that this is an issue

globepolitics I feel hurt over the beard

globepolitics The chance of NDP winning any election in the next 100 years is about as remote as you truthfully feeling any hurt over this. Be a man and stand up to this media circus and you may win a few votes. JagmeetSingh

globepolitics I am not a P.O.C. I am white and was raised in privilege, I am the same age as Trudeau and yet I have known my whole life that black/brown face is wrong . I am not offended by his actions, I am offended by hippocracy. I am surprised so many instantly run to his defense.

globepolitics No, people of color do not feel 'a lot of hurt'. They certainly feel a lot of hurt when Jagmeet singh makes himself the official spokesperson of colored people. Do not milk it for your politic gain.. It's embarrassing

globepolitics No, they don’t 🙄

globepolitics Mr Singh I appreciate your comments very much and no doubt it hits someone of colour in a different way.

globepolitics What a bunch of bull Crap! And he wants to be PM! This happened a long time ago....move on!

globepolitics I don't...

globepolitics Give this man an Oscar

globepolitics Anyone interviewing the people of colour that are in these pictures? Has anyone spoken to the teachers that approved talent show content? It is well established that no blackface is appropriate today. When I was a kid if you dressed up as your hero’s. Apologies, move on.

globepolitics Really? Then you need to grow up, because getting hurt over face paint only goes to demonstrate why you shouldn’t hold office.

globepolitics I feel a lot of hurt over over Trudeau's actions, but also that something done over almost 20 years, by a young man not using common sense. Would ruin a person this way. A Person who just happened to be a Liberal PM of Canada. I just hope it wasn't done for political gain.

globepolitics The most enraged, are the Canadians, who thought this kind of crap was decidedly a big NO NO. Decades a go.

globepolitics PM Trudeau offered apology for an incident that is irrelevant to the elections. His apology is fair enough. Unfair representation of the incident will enhance his chances of a majority.

globepolitics Singh is talking rubbish

globepolitics He immediately apologized and acknowledged his mistake. Trudeau has disappointed us all but I’m voting for him to avoid the still-to-apologize racist and homophobic alternative.

globepolitics You crying over spoil milk. Grow up

globepolitics 18 years again.. most people do things when they are young and stupid.. if this is how you run an election... wouldn't want to see how you would run a country. I'm not hurt, he apologized and that's fine.

globepolitics Don’t overplay your hand theJagmeetSingh

globepolitics Well so tired about that crybaby, you know Sikhs in India are very powerful in all institutions almost they look as a superior society, they have the best jobs, government etc in India, perspectives change maybe here, but they do better than many born Canadians.

globepolitics Pounce, Singh, pounce.

globepolitics Et dire que je croyais qu’il avait un certain jugement. Quelle déception!

globepolitics theJagmeetSingh NO I DON'T. NOT AT ALL. BUT JT WILL STILL NOT GET MY VOTE. CDNPOLI

globepolitics theJagmeetSingh - I don't know why you think Trudeau is racist over wanting to be like a brown or black man for a day.

globepolitics Nonesense

globepolitics You are trying to instigate a rift, amongst us Canadians, for your own agenda. So was it you, that sent those pictures. If it was, you definitely don’t deserve Canadians voting for you.

globepolitics Actually, they don't, from what i heard from a lot of coworkers that are poc... They mostly don't care and did accept the apology..... Stop this non-sense. Now do Scheer...

globepolitics I, a woman/Canadian of colour see it as his growth from what/who he was to how mature & envisioned he's become. Diversity, equality, nondiscrimination. JustinTrudeau

globepolitics Why would someone be hurt by something that happened 18 years ago? Disapprove if you’d like, but to be hurt seems to be a bit of a reach.

globepolitics Oh my god! We have got to get over these “hurt” olympics! Coming from a conservative.

globepolitics Racism has been wide spread all of Canada's history. Should we talk about Irish Portuguese or Italians.

globepolitics I really don't

globepolitics Over sensitive society

globepolitics

globepolitics White Canadians feel hurt over a replacement population being imported.

globepolitics Don’t speak on behalf of all Canadians of color. I am one and I don’t feel hurt and I am still voting for Trudeau. cdnpoli

globepolitics Can’t wait for these replies to be invaded by old men insisting on how POC should feel 👌💯

globepolitics

globepolitics No they don't , but hey it's 2019...let's go with that anyway

Singh says racist photos latest in 'pattern of behaviour' from TrudeauNDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says newly uncovered photographs showing Justin Trudeau in brownface and blackface are the latest sign that the Liberal leader's actions do not always match his public persona. Remember when the “black face”topic was huge in the USA,it was back in February this year. JT said nothing about his black face incidents then,nor did he say anything for 18 years,until he was caught. JT actively hid his black face incidents,did he comment on the Kavanaugh case? But he’s still saying Max is the racist with a straight face? 😂 Trudeau is more racist than 99.99% of Canadians. Some may be worse but most are better people. Past actions. We all strive to be better people, most of us anyway.

Jagmeet Singh and his idealism find their moment - Macleans.caElection Image of the Day: Justin Trudeau's 'brownface' debacle turned all eyes on the NDP leader. Without question, he rose to the occasion. Was he asleep or praying? not sure i want a leader that breaks down over a picture of a halloween costume. i imagine leading a country you're going to have to deal with way tougher stuff than that. spend his whole term bawling. I beg to differ. If theJagmeetSingh had any integrity and knew what he was doing he would of said the same thing about JustinTrudeau that he did about AndrewScheer I will not support hm.

Singh may be the biggest beneficiary of Trudeau’s blundersThe NDP is still campaigning from within a deep hole, but the chances it will hold the balance of power in a minority government have suddenly increased globepolitics Not if enough votes move to him from the Liberals for the Conservatives to win. Then we all lose to white nationalism. globepolitics Not a fan of the NDP but I have been impressed with how Singh has dealt with this compared to other party leaders globepolitics
