Justin Trudeau insists he香蕉视频直播檚 not the man today who he was years ago, when photos and videos were taken of him in racist costumes.
The Liberal leader acknowledges, however, that he had a 香蕉视频直播渕assive blind spot香蕉视频直播� about how wearing blackface could be so hurtful.
Two photos and a video of a younger Trudeau dressed up, with his face painted black or brown, twice for performances and once in an unclear context, have surfaced in the last 24 hours.
Trudeau says he was aware of two of them, and he香蕉视频直播檚 never spoken about them because he was embarrassed.
Delivering statement on blackface photos, Justin Trudeau addresses his remarks to racialized Canadians: "I what I did hurt them, hurt people who shouldn't have to face intolerance & discrimination because of their identity. This is something that I deeply, deeply regret"

He repeated his apology to Canadians for his past behaviour Thursday afternoon, after first issuing one late last night after the first photo was published.
He says he香蕉视频直播檚 spent his political career trying to counter intolerance and racism and hopes that people he香蕉视频直播檚 offended still can see him as an ally in that fight.
