*We have no idea what this fool was thinking when he showed up to an anti-racism protest in Toronto on Saturday while wearing blackface.
The man, whose name was not released by officials, was arrested and released, but not before being filmed getting into a shouting match with demonstrators after protest organizers asked him to leave.
“If I want to put this on my face then I can put this on my face!” the man can be heard saying in the clip before he was placed in custody.
“You’re f–king disrespectful!” a demonstrator shouts back. “You’re a shame to all who came here.”
“I’m not trying to be disrespectful,” the man in blackface protested, but it is obvious to anyone watching the clip that the other folks weren’t buying it.

According to a Global News report, police say he was arrested for breach of the peace and charged, but later they told the outlet no charges have been made and “inquiries continue.”
