A TikTok video has gone viral after @ciroc0 bashed a white man, who had decided to wear blackface make-up to mock Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who had done it previously.
TikToker Sticks His Middle Finger Up At A Man Who Wore Blackface Makeup-‘Black Face Is NEVER Okay’
This was a bizarre piece of conduct given that the man had offended a whole community simply in order to mock another person. In the footage, which is captioned with, ‘Y’all recognize this that decided to dress as Trudeau black face on Halloween,’ we can see that the man is wearing an orange bandana with a scarf around his neck.

His face clearly has the black make-up on, as he engages in a conversation with the security guard. The guard realises that he will have to escort him out, but before we see that happening, the TikToker sticks up his middle finger towards him.
In the video, the TikToker says: “He was hiding beside a bouncer all night until he got escorted out to a cab.” The video generated over 400,000 views, but with that, there were a lot of opinions on offer.
Some people suggested that the man was simply being satirical. Therefore, his actions were bound to rile up some people but not enough to get him thrown out. Others, however, viewed the matter entirely differently.
They felt that such behaviour was deemed to be racist. One user wrote: “People are seriously wild. A costume mocking someone else does NOT make black face okay.
“Black face is NEVER okay.. it’s not hard to understand,” while another stated: “Mocking Trudeau for his racist costume is funny, actually doing Blackface yourself as a way to mock him is still racist.”
The man in the video has not responded to the claims that are being made against him. As such, it is not clear what his intentions were. Having said that, though, he can have no excuses over the reaction that he had received.
After all, he knew that the Canadian President received backlash. Thus, why would he think he would get preferential treatment? That is why he should be more mindful over what he decides to dress up in.
