The high school stuff seems like youthful stupidity.
But 2001 wasn't that long ago, as far as community standards go regarding race, and 29 years old (and a teacher at a school party) is pretty old for it not to be a judgment issue. I thought everyone sort of got the message about blackface being in very poor taste with Ted Danson in 1993.
At any rate, it looks like he's taken a page out of Harvey Weinstein's 2017 playbook: Accused of something?! Vow to take on guns!!
Justin Trudeau on Friday pledged to ban military-style assault rifles, including the AR-15, in Canada as he attempted to get his re-election campaign back on track following a damaging blackface scandal.
