          Looked up Robert Downey jr. Found Tropicthunder which I assume is what you’re talking about. The context between that and the Trudeau photo seems so far apart that it’s a meaningless comparison. Trudeau did blackface himself as himself because he thought it was funny and he’s a racist. Robert Downey appears to have done it as a commentary on doing it as part of a movie, I feel it was still definitely in bad taste but not at all comparable to if he just went to a party in blackface.

              Yes I think a person doing blackface at a party and an actor playing a character doing blackface as a commentary on those who do are different. I think the second is still in poor taste but it is categorically different.

                  Mostly from his “apology” and how he lied about how many times he did it and his excuse was he didn’t know it was wrong when he did it.

                    I think it’s only because I’m defending the ‘wrong’ empire.

                    Also all journalists should be protected even if you disagree with their beliefs.

          WTF, does he have nukes or something? Do you think he’s actually IronMan? Don’t hurt your back with that hasbara reach.

              Why should I care or you care about that in this context? Does he have power to bomb Palestine or something? Does he fund zionist organizations? I don’t know. If he does, that’s pretty shitty. His co-star has made statements in support of Palestine and against genocide, so maybe he is a zionist, but again that’s pretty inconsequential compared to being the leader of a country sending lethal aid to Israel.

                  “Oh what, just because he wears blackface and presided over a government that dissapears indigenous people, pushes euthanasia on depressed and disabled people, spent the 20th century importing ex-nazis and supports an ongoing genocide of brown people, you SJWs think he’s some kind of racist?”
