'''Blackface''' is the practice of darkening one's skin in order to resemble a person of colour. Though it is very scarcely reported on, non-white people can wear blackface in addition to Caucasians.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMNf0S1nBF0</ref><ref>https://www.indiewire.com/2019/03/mexican-tv-network-brownface-roma-parody-yalitza-aparicio-1202048945/#!</ref><ref>https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2010-jul-05-la-fg-mexico-racism-20100705-story.html</ref> Blackface was worn in the past as a method of mocking and belittling black people, thus making it [[racist]];<ref>https://black-face.com/</ref> however, especially in the present day, many people have darkened their skin in order to imitate someone whom they admired, who happened to have dark skin.<ref>https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/oct/26/kellys-blackface-remarks-amplify-halloween-costume/</ref> Even the neoconservative feminist [[Megyn Kelly]] has defended darkening one's skin as part of a Halloween costume and/or in honour of a certain black person.<ref>https://www.westernjournal.com/kelly-fired-blackface-kimmel-job/</ref> However, the mainstream media mistakes both of these practices as acts of racism.<ref>https://www.vox.com/2014/10/29/7089591/why-is-blackface-offensive-halloween-costume</ref><ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2018/10/31/megyn-kelly-today-couldve-been-used-teach-why-blackface-wrong-talker/1831913002/</ref><ref>https://www.cbc.ca/news/justin-trudeau-brownface-blackface-1.5289259</ref><ref>https://www.vice.com/da/article/rze5a8/is-the-album-review-dead</ref>
==Liberal Double Standard==
Democrat Governor of Virginia [[Ralph Northam]] was caught wearing blackface (in the racist manner) while posing next to someone adorned in [[Ku Klux Klan]] garb.<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47193273</ref> He was severely admonished, initially even by his fellow Democrats,<ref>https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/2184958/virginia-governor-ralph-northams-blackface-scandal</ref> but he did not resign from his position as Governor, and calls for him to resign ended after about two weeks.
In addition, Liberal Prime Minister of Canada [[Justin Trudeau]] was discovered wearing brownface to imitate Arabs on three separate occasions. This, however, was not in a racist manner, and the future Prime Minister was simply dressing as Aladdin for costume parties. Still, Trudeau has attempted to [[Islamize]] Canada using disloyal Syrian refugees, and passed the decisively anti-Islamophobic Bill M-103. This exposure of the Prime Minister's hypocrisy may alter the result of the upcoming federal election in 2019.<ref>https://globalnews.ca/news/5922861/justin-trudeau-brownface-video/</ref>
