Anti-black racism in the Great White North? Surely you jest!

As regular readers of WWW know, racism of any kind is not tolerated in Canuckistan. Well, anti-white racism is OK, but slurs on Bipocs, followers of the Religion of Peace, Jews, and any other WAP (Woke-Approved People) are "completely unnaceptable"- the most overused phrase of 2023. 

 "Could you give us an example?", Walt hears you ask. Certainly. Meet Franck Sylvestre and his friend, who starred in a show called "L'incroyable secret de barbe noire" ("The Incredible Secret of Blackbeard") which was performed in a suburb of Montréal last year... just once.

M Sylvestre's show was included in the municipality's Black History Month schedule, but was cancelled because some Forces for Good in the community found it racist -- totally unacceptable! Imagine that!

A "civil rights" group telling named The Red Coalition -- how's that for full disclosure? -- called for further performances of the theatre piece to be cancelled, arguing that the unnamed puppet [At least he wasn't called "Sambo". Ed.] was an example of "anti-Black racism and reminiscent of blackface minstrel shows — performances intended to mock Black people."

The Red Coalition's director, Alain Babineau, tweeted that M Sylvestre's play was a "drop of systemic racism" and suggested M Sylvestre was a "sellout" in the service of white people. Franck Sylvestre is black (or "Black", if you prefer) by the way, a native of Martinique, a French possession [not "colony", shurely. Ed.] in the Caribbean.

Yesterday M Sylvestre has filed a lawsuit against M Babineau, alleging that he made unreasonable claims about the puppet, which have damaged his career in the theatre. According to the statement of claim, M Babineau "unreasonably associated the plaintiff and his puppet with racism, with the submission of Black people to white people and even white supremacism and the dehumanization of Black people." 

It goes on to call the criticism an attack on Sylvestre's reputation, and an attempt "to expose him to the hatred and contempt of the public in general and the Black community in particular." 

At a presser yesterday, M Sylvestre's lawyer said the puppet is based on his client's own appearance and that there's nothing racist about the show. He said it is not defamatory to describe actual racist comments as racist, but associating "someone who is clearly not racist, with a show that is clearly not racist" with racism is defamatory. 

"It's an issue of freedom of artistic expression," the lawayer added. "If every representation of a Black person that doesn't please M Babineau and others becomes blackface, becomes the subject of calls for censorship, that limits my client's freedom of artistic expression and, potentially, that of other artists." 

Indeed. If you were a juror, would you find for M Sylvestre, or do you believe M Babineau was doing the only decent and woke thing by calling out an expression of anti-black racism which in today's progressive society is... wait for it... complete unacceptable.

Note from Ed.: We contacted the Prime Minister of All Canuckistan, Blackie McBlackface, for comment, but have received no response.

Op-ed from the Voice of Truth: The embarrassment that is Trudeau

Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others.

The wishes of Rosie Barton and her never-Trumper colleagues at the Canadian Broadcorping Castration notwithstanding, the bombshell story of Canadian Liberal Party leader Just In Trudeau being exposed as an incurable narcissist is not going to go away any time soon. In the aftermath of the shocking revelations (via photos and video) of his penchant for dressing up in fancy costumes that include brownface and blackface makeup, Mr Socks has been called many things, including a hypocrite (Donna Friesen, Global TV national news anchor, and Stephen LeDrew, National Post). Walt is surprised that no-one has yet used the term "narcissist". IMHO, the definition above describes M Trudeau perfectly.

Perhaps no-one noticed that the once and (he hopes) future Prime Minister of Canuckistan lacks empathy for others -- a flaw that would encompass "racial insensitivity" -- because Just In is so good at projecting the opposite image. He's the master of apology, including the shedding of crocodile tears, to everyone (especially "marginalized communities") for every sin, real or imagined, or everyone but himself. Hey, he was a drama teacher, remember?

He has worn for so long the mask and costume of the post-modern, metrosexual champion of feminism, diversity and "wokeness" that I suspect he believes his own stuff! But today many Canucks are saying that there is some truth to the Cuckservatives' campaign message that the very white (except sometimes) knight in shining armor is "not as advertised".

This theme is taken up today by Melissa J. Gismondi, a writer and journalist who holds a PhD in American history from the University of Virginia, in an op-ed piece for the New York Times (aka the Voice of Truth and Political Correctness) entitled "The Downfall of Canada’s Dreamy Boyfriend". The article is too long to reprint in its entirety (besides which the failing Times might sue us), so I'll just recommend it as "further reading".

And in conclusion, I'll just excerpt the last two paragraphs.

"For Canadians, though, the story is different. It also has bigger stakes, coming as it does in the middle of a federal election that has seen the Liberals and Conservatives neck-and-neck in the polls. It's the latest in a series of scandals that have led many liberals to grow disillusioned and, yes, even flat out embarrassed by Mr. Trudeau.

"Sorry, Americans. As Canadians living in the United States, we tried to tell you: That dude you thought was your dreamy boyfriend? He's not all he's cracked up to be. And like you, we're wondering, as Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada's New Democratic Party and the first person of color to lead a major party, put it: 'Who is the real Mr. Trudeau?'"

UPDATED: "Boy, is my face red! Errr... OK, it's brown! Black?!"

Here they are, folks, the pictures that have exploded in Justin Trudeau's blackened face. M Trudeau, the former Prime Minister of Canada (now seeking a second term in that lofty office) is, as he keeps telling Canucks, a great believer in multiculturalism, inclusiveness and diversity. "Diversity is our strength!" And equality. Don't forget equality. "A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian!"

These pix push the bullshit meter well into the red. The excrement first interfaced with the air-conditioning device yesterday afternoon, when Time ran the picture at right, taken in 2001, of the 29-year-old Mister T exercising his penchant for playing Mr Dress-up by appearing as Aladdin [or is it the genie? Ed.] at an entertainment at West Point Grey Academy, a private school in Vancouver, where the young(ish) Trudeau was a drama teacher.

That was the pic that hit the news... and the Trudeau campaign... like a bombshell yesterday evening. But in his fulsome apology -- and I use the word correctly -- Mr Socks revealed that, errr, there were other pictures. Here's an even better one.

Looks like the same costume, so let's be charitable and assume it was taken at the same event, but it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be M Trudeau showing ethnic solidarity with a couple of his candidates in Brampton and Mississauga. (By the way, former Liberal MP Raj Grewal, the one with the gambling problem, announced yesterday that he wouldn't be running again this time. Surprised?)

On CBC's The National last night, a clearly crestfallen (and unbiased LOL) Rosemary Barton, described the makeup M Trudeau is wearing (not just on his face, but on his hands too) as "brownface", as if that made it... you know... not quite as bad as wearing blackface, which is something only racist Americans do. (Imagine if Donald Trump was photographed in blackface! Cazart!)

Rosie must be even more dismayed today, looking at this picture of an even younger Justin Trudeau singing "Day-O" in a talent show at Le collège Jean-de-Brébeuf. Looks like blackface to me, and if you look closely you can see the enormous Afro which completed the image. Harry Belafonte he's not, but "racist", errr...

And that's the point. The other party leaders, the (((controlled media))) and every "progressive" in Canuckistan has pounced on poor Just In, whose face, as he spoke to the press on the campaign plane last night, was not red but ashen.

The Cuckservative, Andrew Scheer, and the NDP (Socialist) leader Jagmeet Singh (a brown-faced man in a turban!) were just about beside themselves with glee, all the while trying to look and sound deeply offended, accusing Just In of racial insensitivity, "wearing ethnicity as a costume", and, of course, racism.

The feminist champion of diversity and multiculturalism is truly hoist on his own petard. Ya gotta love it!

There are, to be sure, a few sane individuals who say that you shouldn't hold a "youthful indiscretion" against someone, especially if he apologizes sincerely (with tears, if possible) and has "matured and evolved" so that he realizes and takes responsibility for his political incorrectness. That's what Andy Sheer said just a few days ago, while standing up for a couple of his candidates who'd been somewhat compromised by past "errors of judgment".

The hyuge KA-BOOM is still reverberating through the newsrooms, corridors of power, Tim Hortons and other places where people discuss such things. It will be some time before people stop talking about Just In Trudeau's bad hair day... make that bad face day. Stay tuned!

Further reading: What's wrong with wearing blackface or brownface? The leftist ideology explained: "Why wearing blackface or brownface is considered 'reprehensible'", by (((Mark Gollom))), on the CBC News website... of course. [And let that be an end to the accusations that we never link to the CBC! Ed.]

UPDATE ADDED 0800: Canada's Global TV has obtained video of another incident -- not the high school "Day-O" incident but something more recent -- in which Mr Dressup wears blackface. Not "brownface" but blackface. Note the comment about resignation. Could it happen?

French cops racist? Main non! It's only a "negro party"!

Several police officers from the Paris suburb of Kremlin-Bicêtre [no kidding. Ed.] are in trouble after photos surfaced of them in blackface at a "negro" party, according to a report in Le Figaro.

Here we see les flics, some apparently wearing frizzy or dreadlock wigs [No kidding? It's not their real hair? Ed.] dressed in what seems to be improvised African garb. This is not a costume, they explained, but a representation of normal street clothing as seen every day in many Paris suburbs.

As for the second photo, well, what can one say except that the party was meant to be private. However, one of the cops' colleagues, Claudy "the Rat" Siar -- formerly a "racial equality officer" posted the images online. Guess he was miffed at not being invited to the party.

The five officers, whose names were not published, face an internal review. It's not clear what sort of disciplinary action they may face. Deportation to... let's say Detroit... seems not to be an option.
