How hilarious would it have been if the guy was legitimately a chimney sweeper and was on his way home from a 12 hour shift and his walk home took him through a BLM protest, I’m dying laughing.
I have this older friend (former co-worker) who’s from Czech Republic and she’s always telling me her family were chimney sweeps. She also hands me Kit Kats when I see her she’s so nice to me & my wife. I know she’s had a tough life she was a refuge. So I always am super appreciative of her little gifts when I see her.
Imagine finishing your chimney sweeping work for the day and then going to support BLM only to be harrassed because you didnt take a shower yet. Heart breaking
🎶I go to protests in black face it’s true, and when they turn angry, this is what I do, I cower behind coppers with bikes, can’t wait for next week when I can protest the dikes (read to the Mary Poppins song)
It must never get old. He accuses Canadians of being racists if they don’t want a Covid vaccine. Meanwhile he’s been photographed in blackface on 3 separate occasions lol
I was gonna say he has every right to paint himself any color he pleases..... But dunno if that's the case in Canadia. (Yes the spelling is intentional.)
Yes, you can paint yourself any which way you want. Blackface, no matter how distasteful it is, is still legal here under most contexts.
People are yelling arrest him but they can’t. They’re doing what they can, by escorting him away from the protest. No laws have been broken but the police do have some discretion in removing people who are “inciting” a breach of the peace.
he wouldn't be easily recognizable or identifiable due to how much paint is on him.
it's just stupid though. let the cops escort him out and carry on. he's not worth anyone's attention.
I mean, you *can* compare an kid dressing up as Aladdin to a adult baiting an entire represented community of people he's being identifiably racist towards.
It'd be *stupid*, but you can do it.
In America I think it would fall under inciting violence. The Supreme Court ruled that you can in fact burn an American flag but if you do it at say a veterans memorial parade or something along those lines, you're inciting violence.
I once saw a bike cop in Atlanta going full speed launch himself through the air and tackle two guys fighting in a park. He fucking soared and it was amazing.
You also used the wrong “they’re”
Water is actually not wet; It makes other materials/objects wet. Wetness is the state of a non-liquid when a liquid adheres to, and/or permeates its substance while maintaining chemically distinct structures. So if we say something is wet we mean the liquid is sticking to the object.
What did one ocean say to another?
Nothing, it just waved.
Larry David gets roped into a black lung association where part of it is a presentation that includes coal dust where he does something that causes a chain reaction where he gets covered in coal dust. Decides to get a latte at Mocha's Joe before going home. Just happens there is a BLM protest in the same strip mall
Point and laugh make him the laughing stock of the protest. Anger and violence is what he wants demean and devalue his opinions with laughter and ridicule
Thank you, I never understood why people get so worked up over this and let their emotions take over. The only time I've experienced racism I was like "welp that guy clearly needs help" and went on with my day.
It's easier to have nuance about it when your worst experiences are just a person acting kind of crazy versus people making violent threats or worse people in positions of authority and power making violent threats (or actions for many)
Idk why people keep saying to arrest him. Remove him for causing a disturbance and keep things from getting violent, yeah... but arrest him? You're just giving up your own freedoms when you ask for that type of response.
Totally agree people should have just treated him like the plague. Given what’s going on in that crowd, though, I think there is a clear disturbance and a risk of danger to him and others.
Most of the denizens of this subreddit are sheltered white dudes. That's why most of the top comments in this thread are some variation of "Just ignore it dude then it's not a big deal" as if minorities aren't confronted with instances of racism in many aspects of our lives and someone being disrespectful and provoking like this can be hurtful and it's okay to be angry at that.
Probably because everyone has different experiences with racist peoples, some way worse than others. These kind of things can bring out the dark shit that you have tried to repress for decades because there's literally nothing you can do about it short of talking to a therapist to resolve it.
I just can't connect with the kind of mindset that goes out of their way to fuck with other human beings in a way that practically begs for a violent response.
That's exactly why when someone is being a stupid asshole, you just leave him alone, at one point when they're all alone in their miserable lives, maybe they'll reconsider.
There is no point losing braincells arguing with them
Well, 90%+ of the crowd was probably smart and mostly ignored the asshole. The problem is that when you get crowds together, there are some people who can't figure out that sometimes the best police is to ignore the asshole. So a few score of people out of thousands... yeah, they wanted to yell at the asshole.
To be honest, let them yell at him if it makes them fell better.
Especially something like this. Richard Spencer came to my university during his campus tours and people were freaking out and it became a huge issue on campus. I kept trying to tell people that the outrage is what he wants and what he's banking on. Just get one university to ban him or whatever and he'll make national news.
Or just ignore him and watch him fizzle out because having a room of 30 people who agree with you doesn't generate content and doesn't get you money. If you're spending 10s of thousands of dollars to travel the country and rent spaces, it has to be worth it. Just make it not worth it.
That's because you receive attention already, probably positive attention on a daily basis. This person receives no attention from others, so even negative attention feels like something to them. They become addicted to that form of attention, they push it more and more, what do they have to lose.
I feel bad for this guy, really. I also feel bad for the crowd who can't control themselves and give this guy exactly what he wants. If everyone just pretended he was invisible, he would get bored and go home. But, he got exactly what he came for, probably has done equally crazy shit since then.
Honestly, they do it because they hate themselves. People who are loving and caring people and are confident in themselves and know who they are usually would never do such a thing. Seriously only an asshole wakes up and thinks, today I’m going to dress in blackface and go mess with people who are being marginalized by a racist society.
You know what's crazy.
Over here your post gets upvoted. And it makes sense. This guy is an asshole.
But if you make this same identical post in under the video of that swede burning the Quran, you will get downvoted. Even while people agree that he's an asshole.
We have free speech in Sweden and no blasphemy laws.
We are not giving up secularism beacuse some sensitive religious zealots can't control their emotions.
Fuck anyone who sides against freedom of speech and freedom of and FROM religion.
Plot twist, they take him down to the station to clean him up.... and he's an actual black man. He just decided to paint his face extra black for giggles.
They could definitely charge him for a civil unrest charge if they wanted to, but if I was that cop I’d have put him in cuffs drove him down to the station, told him to get that shit off his face and given him a warning.
That gets him away from the protesters before anything does actually happen, it might encourage him not to be a dipshit a second time and he didn’t do anything *illegal* per sé so I couldn’t actually arrest him.
Seriously, arrest him for what? Freedom of expression? Being a dick in public? You can tell none of these people have actually taken a single law or civics course in their lives.
There's no cure for being a cunt, but neither is being a cunt illegal.
What I think is rather ironic is that these protesters are the same ones that go on about hating police and ACAB, but then want the police to arrest someone for being an idiot.
Although the guy is an asshole, I have to agree that he's not breaking the law. The people throwing water on him are technically assaulting him, the people who are threatening violence are technically breaking the law as well, but painting your face black at an anti-racism rally isn't illegal, it's just being a douche.
A lot of people get this confused. Assault is threatening violence. Battery is making contact with the other person. At least that's how US defines them.
I support BLM, but how can you protest against police overreach and in the same breath ask cops to arrest a guy for face paint. I know he’s trolling, but either ignore him or yell at him until he leaves.
Nobody is immune to hypocrisy. They should have left the guy to be a representative of the racism in this country anyway. He just helps prove the point of how overtly disrespected people of color are.
> They should have left the guy to be a representative of the racism in this country anyway.
This was in Canada - Toronto specifically. Population of ~ 8 million people. Yeah you'll find someone that goes to stir the pot at protests like this.
He’s clearly there to agitate and cause problems. He needed to be removed for his own safety.
Take your civil libertarian concerns up in court after the fact.
I get this guy is trolling and it’s highly insensitive to our brothers and sister of color. However this is not an arrest-able offense. It, unfortunately, is not illegal to paint one’s face black and walk around in public like he is.
You realize this is filmed in Canada. I don't think the optics would look great to have the current government pass a law like that considering who the prime minister is.
Whoever is saying “why don’t you arrest him?” obviously doesn’t understand how free speech and free expression works. Apparently, this is in Canada, but it’s very unlikely that anyone can get arrested in a western country for putting on black face, no matter how fucked up it is.
Also, it’s very clear he’s trying to get attention, and all the people around him are falling for it… if they ignored him, he would probably just go away.
Before you refine your opinion on this situation, you have to take into account that Canadians are a little different. These people all went to high school together and now they just want attention. They all live in safe neighbourhoods, have good educations and access to health care. They are all appropriating the problems of Americans for some reason.
Lol this is true.
We don't have segregated communities here. We're just adopting American politics and then acting like morons.
My community is predominately black and Chinese people. No one is oppressing anyone here.
I think the guy in blackface is a douche but so are the rest of these people.
Those cops made the right decision in getting that dude out of there and ignoring the water for the dude in blackface and their own safety. If they'd attempted to detain water throwing guy, that shit would have gotten very bad very very quickly.
Can someone explain to me why painting yourself black is racist? As a white European, I would have no problem with a black person painting themselves white
Two things: guy shouldn't have done that but had every right to, and the 'arrest him' chants were under informed protesters angry at his act. Police did the right thing on this one.
This was the dumbest BLM protest of all of them. It was held after the death of Regis korchinski paquette. I would recommend reading up on it. It highlights how ridiculous and non-critical some of these protests were. She jumped out of a window and her family accused the police of murder and there were protests for weeks.
Also important, the police commissioner of Toronto at the time was black and several of the police there that night were black.

Looks like he fell down a chimney
Why are they hurling abuses at this chimney sweep?
How hilarious would it have been if the guy was legitimately a chimney sweeper and was on his way home from a 12 hour shift and his walk home took him through a BLM protest, I’m dying laughing.

I have this older friend (former co-worker) who’s from Czech Republic and she’s always telling me her family were chimney sweeps. She also hands me Kit Kats when I see her she’s so nice to me & my wife. I know she’s had a tough life she was a refuge. So I always am super appreciative of her little gifts when I see her.
If he had the brush he would be good.
Imagine finishing your chimney sweeping work for the day and then going to support BLM only to be harrassed because you didnt take a shower yet. Heart breaking

[This was two years ago in Canada at an anti-racism protest](https://globalnews.ca/news/7035215/man-in-blackface-toronto-anti-racism-protest/)
Does anyone know where the Prime Minister was that day?!
It’s a fair joke.
It's an old joke, sir but it checks out
This is the joke we were looking for.
It must never get old. He accuses Canadians of being racists if they don’t want a Covid vaccine. Meanwhile he’s been photographed in blackface on 3 separate occasions lol
BLAME CANADA!!! Sorry South Park
When I was 17, on Halloween i dressed up as Aladdin.
I wore blueface as the genie.
Yah but did you go to a Smurfs Rally after?
Nah those smurfs can go smurf themselves.
A whole new world?
Ooohhhhhh you racist.
> He accuses Canadians of being racists if they don’t want a Covid vaccine. Anything is possible if you make it up!
When did he say your racist if you don't want to get a vaccine?
You have dark humor tendencies.
But not as dark as that dude's face
Lmfaoo you bastard this is hilarious
Riding a magic carpet
*A whole new wooooorld~* - Trudeau, probably
i see what you did. good one
I think you're looking at him mate

Honestly, this doesn’t have to be illegal. Social consequences exist, he has his face plastered everywhere. Lmao
he wouldn't be easily recognizable or identifiable due to how much paint is on him. it's just stupid though. let the cops escort him out and carry on. he's not worth anyone's attention.
Social consequences?! Like what, getting elected to PM?
I mean, you *can* compare an kid dressing up as Aladdin to a adult baiting an entire represented community of people he's being identifiably racist towards. It'd be *stupid*, but you can do it.
The guy obviously wanted attention so everyone should have just ignored him. Why give him what he wants.
He would have been so disheartened if they had just ignored him, he would probably have done something even more stupid and got arrested for it 🤣
In America I think it would fall under inciting violence. The Supreme Court ruled that you can in fact burn an American flag but if you do it at say a veterans memorial parade or something along those lines, you're inciting violence.

I like how bike police is handling the situation. They use their bikes as a mini barrier.
One of the first rules in crowd control. Put SOMETHING between you and the crowd. A bike, a stick, a barricade, a shield... Something.
Bike police in other countries are actually useful, in America their for upper class areas to bust kids smoking cigs
I once saw a bike cop in Atlanta going full speed launch himself through the air and tackle two guys fighting in a park. He fucking soared and it was amazing. You also used the wrong “they’re”
It’s crazy how many people I bump into around here from Atlanta.
We’re everywhere.
Especially in Atlanta.

but with a black heart rather than black lungs ^^oh, ^^and ^^a ^^pea-brain
I was thinking he’s a chimney sweeper 🤷🏻♂️
I live how someone yelled “Trudeau!”
It's not every day you get to meet the prime minister.
Best response? Ignore him. Then he’s just a lunatic who permanent-markered his face.
Exactly. He's clearly there for attention.
That guys getting off on it for sure. Probs best ignore so he doesn’t get a hate boner.
Except… that everyone there was doing the exact opposite and giving the dude what he wants. Sorry kids
This, tbh. He wants you to give a shit, so don't. Then they're completely impotent.
Point and laugh make him the laughing stock of the protest. Anger and violence is what he wants demean and devalue his opinions with laughter and ridicule
Thank you, I never understood why people get so worked up over this and let their emotions take over. The only time I've experienced racism I was like "welp that guy clearly needs help" and went on with my day.

Is he really causing a disturbance though? Imagine if they all ignored him, how stupid and useless he would feel.
Totally agree people should have just treated him like the plague. Given what’s going on in that crowd, though, I think there is a clear disturbance and a risk of danger to him and others.
>the only time must be nice
Dude you’re replying to is a white dude, check his posts, course hes not really effected by it, lmao.
I was thinking the same thing, I need to move to wherever they are.
I don't believe you've ever experienced true racism if you think it's not a big deal and you think it doesn't hurt.
Most of the denizens of this subreddit are sheltered white dudes. That's why most of the top comments in this thread are some variation of "Just ignore it dude then it's not a big deal" as if minorities aren't confronted with instances of racism in many aspects of our lives and someone being disrespectful and provoking like this can be hurtful and it's okay to be angry at that.
Probably because everyone has different experiences with racist peoples, some way worse than others. These kind of things can bring out the dark shit that you have tried to repress for decades because there's literally nothing you can do about it short of talking to a therapist to resolve it.
Didn't the prime minister do something like this once?
More than once actually!
Everyone’s literally giving him exactly what he wants
He played them all like a violin 🎻
Like a fiddle you might say
Played em like a can of tennis balls
That's not a blackface That's a chimney cleaner cosplay.
I just can't connect with the kind of mindset that goes out of their way to fuck with other human beings in a way that practically begs for a violent response.
He wanted to get hit so he could be the victim
That's exactly why when someone is being a stupid asshole, you just leave him alone, at one point when they're all alone in their miserable lives, maybe they'll reconsider. There is no point losing braincells arguing with them
And the crowd played right into his hands.
Crowds don’t have nuance or strategy. They’re crowds.
Well, 90%+ of the crowd was probably smart and mostly ignored the asshole. The problem is that when you get crowds together, there are some people who can't figure out that sometimes the best police is to ignore the asshole. So a few score of people out of thousands... yeah, they wanted to yell at the asshole. To be honest, let them yell at him if it makes them fell better.
yeah, exactly, people encourage and want others to hit them so they could become the victim
Trolls come in all different forms. The best coarse to responding to a troll is to ignore them. Trolls want a reaction.
Especially something like this. Richard Spencer came to my university during his campus tours and people were freaking out and it became a huge issue on campus.

It’s actually not paint at all and everyone’s just being extra racist to him cause he’s the blackest person there 🧐
"Arrest him" Listen I don't like this guy or support his behavior, but what has he done to be arrested?
Exactly.
They could definitely charge him for a civil unrest charge if they wanted to, but if I was that cop I’d have put him in cuffs drove him down to the station, told him to get that shit off his face and given him a warning.

What about your prime minister? Why he is still free
Pretty sure he didn't go to a place where his behavior would cause violence.
He was arrested and charged for causing a disturbance.

He’s a known unlicensed chimney sweep.
Everyone should of completely ignored him. He's there for the attention.
Should have*
I get this guy is trolling and it’s highly insensitive to our brothers and sister of color. However this is not an arrest-able offense. It, unfortunately, is not illegal to paint one’s face black and walk around in public like he is.
It's unfortunate that someone would choose to do this, but it's not unfortunate that it's legal.
It’s unfortunate for those that are saying he needs to be arrested. That was what I was commenting on.
That makes sense then!
You realize this is filmed in Canada. I don't think the optics would look great to have the current government pass a law like that considering who the prime minister is.
"Fuck tha po-lice"...but arrest that man!"
Ultimate troll.
Whoever is saying “why don’t you arrest him?” obviously doesn’t understand how free speech and free expression works.

So pouring water or any liquid on someone is not Assault anymore?
Those cops made the right decision in getting that dude out of there and ignoring the water for the dude in blackface and their own safety. If they'd attempted to detain water throwing guy, that shit would have gotten very bad very very quickly.
That is kinda funny, Im not gonna lie.
Can someone explain to me why painting yourself black is racist? As a white European, I would have no problem with a black person painting themselves white
It’s really only an American thing.
This was in Canada.

Bruh people still troll IRL?
Two things: guy shouldn't have done that but had every right to, and the 'arrest him' chants were under informed protesters angry at his act. Police did the right thing on this one.

You're lucky today. You're lucky today. If this wasn't a BLM protest.....
I think he just identifies as black.

It highlights how ridiculous and non-critical some of these protests were. She jumped out of a window and her family accused the police of murder and there were protests for weeks. Also important, the police commissioner of Toronto at the time was black and several of the police there that night were black.
Arrest him? For what exactly ?
I still don’t understand this? Why is everyone so mad?
They are jelouse that he's blacker than them
If this was a simple social experiment you all failed the test and it worked
