No, it's "brownface" because he was dressing up as an Arab, not dressing up as a black person.

Now hold on, I think the term is "person of color face."

I like how you like to Whitewash what he did. How about dressing up like a Black guy on the right for no apparent reason? Double

Let's see - "face-darkening makeup" vs. "blackface or brownface", one is certainly more elegant verbiage than the other. We are talking about professional writers here, no?

What am I whitewashing? When he dressed up like Alladin, it was "brownface" (I guess), when he dressed up like Harry Belafonte it was blackface - exactly as has been reported.


You recognize the difference between Arabs and black people, I assume?

Pretty much. I completely agree with you.

Don Lemon's response is hilarious to say the least.

Megyn kelly "Kelly is a 47 years old woman, it is all about racism."

Justin Trudeau "Wow, a leader apologizing. It seems odd, doesn't it?"Because we have one who doesn't."

As much as I want to take these people seriously just for being fair and balanced, I just couldn't.

He was just part of the popular Boy Group, "The Dancing Sultans". Give him a break!

Tucker is misrepresenting Lemon's reaction.

Lemon's only positive about Trudeau -- it was refreshing to hear a political apologize for his inappropriate behavior.

Other than that - -he said it was wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong....to do the black/brown face.

But Carlson didn't want you to see the whole story -- just what he needed to spin for a sound bite on his show.

Lemon reiterated last night that he finds it a good thing to see a leader apologize for inappropriate actions but does not defend Trudeau's behavior.
