The biggest mistake she made was apologizing
Chas Stiles nope, racism is bigger. Take the girl out of Fox but not Fox out of girl
@@yutyuiiu my wife is mixed race,Spanish, Portuguese,polanision,itallion,she not offended
Chas Stiles I’m glad your mixed race wive decides what’s offensive for all of us. You should check yourself because you just basically used the: I’m not racist because I have one black (mixed raced) friend 🤦🏽♀️.
I’m mixed race (SA, Dutch and Ghanaian) and if my husband ever used me not being offended as an argument that no body should be, id be so disappointed in him.
@@ringoinah that's a You problem
Chas Stiles bitch you can’t even write! Get out of you tube and Go back to school! Better yourself because obviously you have very little to offer!
I don't think she was being racist
I think America is just too sensitive at this time
She is racist. She said black face was ok when she was young. Wrong! Black face has never bee ok since Jim crow
@@maamebroni6142 Being racist would imply she spoke her opinion out of malice and contempt, which she did neither. I just saw it as a dumb@$$ comment she didn't think much of at all, as with most white people who grew up in the suburbs, only seeing a black person for the first time when they go to college or get a job in the city. She should have said that blackface was normalized in her culture when she was young because of media at the time as opposed to saying it was ok. She forgot this isn't FOX News, you can't have your brain on autopilot all day and incidentally say something stupid, she should have been careful with her words.
i guess you never meet really racist ppl
omega alexander I agree!
Sarpong Sarpong your an idiot!
There is nothing wrong with what she said. NBC just wanted to get rid of her. NBC is a shlt hole of a network anyway - actually a good thing for Kelly - she will realize this when she gets her next "thing."
says the random dude on youtube. yeah that 50 million dollar deal sucked. People on youtube and social media say the dumbest shit.
AGREE 💯 I
...she's beautiful
I totally agree William Simmons that what she said was innocent in that it was a discussion on Halloween costume. Blacks need to be less sensitive.
You idiots probably should take an english class that focus on the times before the civil rights. BLACK FACE WAS USED THEN and it WAS RACIST. Wearing it today symbolizes those times the whites were okay with oppressing colored people, by portraying them as animalistic, or beast like when they did plays/movie. For example, watch the original Birth of Nation.
I really don't think she meant any ill will for that... Wtf...
BornInsane0 she meant it!
@@bkgang8909 I think she was just fucking dumb and ignorant. Doesn't mean she was malicious when saying that.
You don't have to mean ill will to be racist. You can be a nice racist. And if you ever watched her on Fox News, she was not nice.
BornInsane0
You Really don't think.
@@BornInsane0 Racist are 'fucking dumb and ignorant'... ill will has nothing to do with fucking dumb and ignorant.
I'm confused. What did she say negative?
Google exists.
..nothing!!
Blackface was okay.
Joe Smith.....should I return my Black Panther costume?
Okaaayy man ppl too sensitive stfu their minimizing what black face really meant smh
She had no reason to apologise. It's ridiculous that this is even happening. She is obviously not a racist. Meant nothing bad by it. Political correctness is a poison.
But didn't Jesus say to love your neighbor. Isn't being insulting to a neighbor a sin?
@@technoloverish I didnt hear any insults. How ever if she did and we want to use the name of Jesus, He also said to forgive eachother as He has forgiven us.
He also said all sin and fall short of the glory of God.
@@scottharris2604
True, though it's my understanding that Jesus said to love everybody. I'm not so sure that purposely being politically incorrect is the best way of doing it.
@@technoloverish read the bible and tell me where Jesus or any of the disciples or old testement prophets where politically correct, or if They just spoke the truth. You will find then went against what was popular and socially acceptable. Truth upsets people. Its just a fact of life. It should, of course, be done out of love.
@@scottharris2604
Well, what's the benefit of painting one's face black to make fun of black people? Is there some truth that that is promoting? Speaking the truth in that context only means speaking to what is true for the benefit of others. Plus, Jesus never did things that were meant to offend human beings. He was merely critical of specific actions that were popular. Also, by that logic, shouldn't you be advocating committing crimes since the notion that crimes are okay is unpopular? What if I started advocating for incest be legal because it goes against what most people think is okay? Anyway, you are only required to speak things that are obviously true and beneficial to those you are talking to. For example, if you live in an area where a bunch of people are getting dangerously drunk, you should probably speak up to people about that. And Megyn didn't say she hates black people, but many people who don't like certain races of people aren't that direct about it and will instead give hints that that's how they feel.
She wasn't defending blackface?? She was asking about why it was racist!!!! Are you not allowed to ask what offends people without being offensive???
I think what got her fired was her trail of thoughts. She had made previous racist comments about Jesus and Santa being white...so I guess it was safe to assume the intention/context of her comment about this issue was the same.... At least that's how I see it.
Maybe...Jesus was most likely middle eastern descent. Idk why us matters to her...
@@brittanyhannah8258 🤷♀️
At least she bringing up the talks about black faces they need to make a movie on why it exist its purpose and meaning this is history we shouldnt hide thats the problem with America to much hidden nasty dirty secrets
People are more mad at the fact that she said blackface was OK as long as its on Halloween.
I don't agree with most of what Megyn ever says but this "political correctness" is ridiculous. I didn't hear anything meant to be racist about what she said, good god people, their talking about Halloween costumes. Where does it end,,,,,, Just because people have different political views doesn't mean you condemn them. My son years ago dressed up as "Sting" the wrestler with the red painted face and all, was he racist, absolutely not he really liked the character. She shouldn't have apologized . Listen to what Reverend Jesse Lee Petersen has to say, ruclips.net/video/aJaQa52dhu8/видео.html
The point is you don't need to paint your face black to portray a black character. Wearing a paint color that a singer wore is much different than trying to imitate a famous person's skin color.
so explain the racism in a Halloween costume?
G W The racism is in trying to portray a different race. Black face has historically been used to mock black people. It’s much different to act as a person than to act as if you’re an entire race
Yes, exactly. She shouldn't have apologized, as there was nothing to apologize for. Kids have been dressing up in white face (clowns) and black face (hobos) since Trick or Treat was invented. She made the whole thing much worse by apologizing and calling in the PBS folks to "educate" Americans. The woman clearly is intelligent, but has terrible instincts and judgement.
G W K C probably should take an english class that focus on the times before the civil rights. BLACK FACE WAS USED THEN and it WAS RACIST. Wearing it today symbolizes those times the whites were okay with oppressing colored people, by portraying them as animalistic, or beast like when they did plays/movie.

OMG we have become a nation of week whiners
Nah we were founded by weak whiners

Weak or week?
Become a black person then make that comment again...
Someone please explain how Robert Downey Jr got away with his role in Tropic Thunder. This country is "special needs" sometimes, I swear.
Oh you dont know this but black people loooooove Robert downey jr he been an honorary brother for years
Robert dinero we love him to and pretty much any white man married to black women are invited to our cook out
Its like mark anthony cant say the n word but jlo can rosie perez and fat joe can say it but Enrique iglesies cant its like gays and they crazy rules and titles its complicated and one sided
Idk but it was awesome
Probably cause the movie in itself is satirical and makes it a point of showing the ridiculousness of hollywood productions
Black Face Is Never Okay. Black Face has never been respectful but degrading, offensive, and disrespectful to the Black Race! And anyone who doesn't know that, don't know the history of Black Face! And those who don't know the history of "Black Face" can't justify it to anyone for any reason who knows the history of Black Face. Being Black has never been a joke or something to joke about. Because being Black is not a joke. Personally, I think they wanted to cancel her show and use this opportunity to do it.
you just a n199a
guys calm down it was a moment of ignorance on her part she didn't want to hurt people...yes it was very stupid of her to say that but we have all said stupid ignorant shit before. We are human and she apologized.
Oh my god. Give me a break. that was not a racist remark. Leave her alone!!
Naama Kris
Your god says that her whole attitude and demeanor is racist. You have an unbiased god? Go by heart, not mind... things will get easier when you treat yourself, your family, your friends and those You Claim To Love- in the same way you treat your fellow men and women of any color, race, creed, or culture, other than your own.
Shelly Beans ..shelly beans!!! AMAZZZING COMMENT!!..YOUR 1 MILLION% CORRECT!
It is not nice to say Chinavirus
"I'm Megan Kelly and I want to start with 2 words...I'm Fired."
She should have thought about her words before she decided to open her mouth
Why should she, negroes don’t!
You're not wrong! So many people are just way too much over reacting, any tiny little opinion different than the 100% "politically correct" ideology, is condemnable! We have lost the compass of "reality"....
It’s called ‘USA’ syndrome
@@ovoovo618 spoiled dem syndrome
Academy award goes to Megyn Kelly. Best acting performance
We do NOT accept your apology. You’ve been this way since your days in Fox. We don’t forget that easily
Liberals get mad at each over stuff like this?
Put Megan back ON her show!! Please!!!
Making a mountain out of a molehill she said nothing that offensive where she should lose her job just rediculous😱
What she actually said was as long as someones intent was not to be rascist and to portray someone specifically there's nothing wrong with it ,how someone interpreted what she said as wrong is looking for a reason to start something
If it helps, she has said way worst at fox, just youtube Megyn Kelly DL Hughley fight
This woman was not being racist at all. All this social media bullshit is getting way outta control. People nowadays need to grow a pair. #canipleasegobacktotheeighties
Kelly and nbc are like oil and water, they didnt mix from the get go.
As an "African-American," there is a difference between black-face and cosplay/costume. One was intended to degradingly mock stereotypes as being the normal consensus of a racial group, and another is just dressing up. I think the movie "The Party" is funny, not at all to poke fun at Indian people with Seller's role, but how much he seems to screw everything up by accident (like Mr. Bean). We live in a sensitive generation. I'm not going to stop watching westerns with white people playing as natives, the ones I remember watching don't degrade them, just portray them.
I've been more insulted when black comedians degrade themselves in movies that continues to propagate black stereotypes. Denzel Washington doesn't have to play that role in movies, neither do you.
Wtf is the big deal here smh
The big deal is her show was never good. She has been gone deaf on a myriad of topics. She always came across as awkward and uncomfortable. Even if she hadn’t made the idiotic and racist black face remark her show would have eventually sunk. She should have done a news show that seems to be her speed.
This is america
Thats the big deal. Land of hypocrisy
Lol right
@Pat IR only the government grants free speech through the Constitution. Private companies can fire you for not being in line with their values and that's what they did here
@@belmontpaul6855 more like the land of pussies that get triggered and offended by anything said and done
Megan kelly has been nothing but trouble since fox news shes is cold hearted and it shows every episode
She doesn't owe anyone an apology. She did nothing wrong. People are rediculous these days. Anybody remember the movie white chicks? Guess the Wayans owe everyone some apologies.
Matt Marsh we talking about white chicks or focusing on the issue at hand without deflecting responsibilities? If white people were better able to control their racist mindsets some years ago maybe none of this would be an issue unfortunately though black face has a history thanks largely in part to white people like yourself that don’t think it’s a big deal. Do some research and stop playing the “ but he did it too” game you come off like a 6 year old who is incapable of taking responsibility for his actions.
@@deaf2819Not playing he did it too, saying get over it.
Matt Marsh you’re literally excusing the behavior whilst being incredibly ignorant to the reason why there’s a difference between the situations but I literally expect nothing less from the 60 something year old white guy on the internet. I know, this was all ok back in your day...
Megyn Kelly didn't nothing wrong
@@deaf2819 Dont say Im ignorant. Im well aware of the history of blaclface. Just dont care.
I'm still trying to figure out what she said that was so wrong.
Stand your ground and never apologize for your views
And the moral of this story is....keep your opinions to yourself
She desparately wanted to be part of the liberal media, but could never be forgiven by being a Fox News superstar.
YUP...NBC morning personalities before her show hated her
Megyn Kelly said alot of stupid shit in the past idk why she wasnt fired a long time ago
I never liked her to start with! Is she really "THE HIGHEST PAID ANCHOR"?
I've never been a fan of hers, either.
Why you watching her if you don't like her don't watch him
I am a big fan of Megyn Kelly, and I'm sure a lot of people are. Getting fired sucks, but I think she'll find something better than mainstream liberal media.
People are just way too sensitive
I stand with Kelly
Sometimes you keep stuff to yourself. No matter what you believe
That isn't freedom of speech
@@lisamanning8334 there isn't much that's free these days
The same people saying what she did is no big deal are the same people that were crying when Colin Kaepernick and others decided not to stand during that stupid national anthem
You can take the girl out of Fox news... But you just CAN'T take Fox news out of the girl :-)
I like this comment better the first time I read it. I guess you did to, then you copied it
I guess rosie O'Donnell isn't supporting her now.
Funny thing is .... she was right the first time.
She should have been more in trouble when she made the comments that jesus is white and Santa is white. What was wrong being diana Ross on Halloween?.. shes actually is representing her instead of mocking her. Her last comment was actually more worst.
When the Wayne's brothers made the movie "White Chicks" ... Republican all thought it was funny. When Megan Kelly simply says kids should be able to wear any Halloween costume they'd like... Democrats call her a racist.
DOUBLE STANDARD !!!
They were undercover agents in disguise. From beginning to end. They weren't making down grading a race.
Hey, once you go fox, you never come out of that box.
She said nothing wrong.
It is refreshing to see a high profile personality fired over something other than sexual harassment.
Hard left progressive here... I don't care about Megan Kelly but this seems ridiculous... she didn't say anything outrageous.
She did nothing wrong.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>> From WIKIPEDIA, the biography of AL JOLSON, the most popular blackface performer in the USA who has been unjustly demonized by the black supremacists of the nation:
Jolson's legacy as the most popular performer of blackface routines was complemented by his relationships with African-Americans and his appreciation and use of African-American cultural trends.[12] Jolson first heard jazz, blues, and ragtime in the alleys of New Orleans, Louisiana. He enjoyed singing the new jazz-style of music, often performing in blackface, especially in the songs he made popular, such as "Swanee", "My Mammy", and "Rock-A-Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody". As a Jewish immigrant and America's most famous and highest-paid entertainer, he may have had the incentive and resources to help break down racial attitudes. For instance, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) during its peak in the early 1920s, was estimated to include about 15% of the nation's eligible voting population, 4-5 million men, though probably much smaller.[41] While The Birth of a Nation glorified white supremacy and the KKK, Jolson chose to star in The Jazz Singer, which defied racial bigotry by introducing American black music to audiences worldwide.[15]
While growing up, Jolson had many black friends, including Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, who became a prominent tap dancer.[23] As early as 1911, at the age of 25, Jolson was noted for fighting discrimination on Broadway and later in his movies:[42] "at a time when black people were banned from starring on the Broadway stage",[43] he promoted the play by black playwright Garland Anderson,[44] which became the first production with an all-black cast produced on Broadway; he brought an all-black dance team from San Francisco that he tried to feature in his Broadway show;[42] he demanded equal treatment for Cab Calloway, with whom he performed a number of duets in his movie The Singing Kid; he was "the only white man allowed into an all black nightclub in Harlem".[42] Al Jolson once read in the newspaper that songwriters Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle, neither of whom he had ever heard of, were refused service at a Connecticut restaurant because of their race. He immediately tracked them down and took them out to dinner, "insisting he'd punch anyone in the nose who tried to kick us out!"[12] According to biographer Al Rose, Jolson and Blake became friends.
British performer Brian Conley, former star of the 1995 British play Jolson , stated during an interview, "I found out Jolson was actually a hero to the black people of America. At his funeral, black actors lined the way, they really appreciated what he'd done for them."[49] Noble Sissle, who was president of the Negro Actors Guild , represented that organization at his funeral.[50]
I'm not Megan Kelly fan but I don't get what she did wrong like seriously they were talking about Halloween costumes. People need to stop getting offended so easily.
It is time for Megyn Kelly for retire. Now days you do not make racial comments or comparisons because USA is to ignorant to understant the meaning. And just immagine if a republican had said it!!! OMG!!!!! There would be riots!!!!
What goes around it comes around and comes back and it bites your ass! She has a history, this is not news about her and she thought that she was going to have another episode of her Fox News rant racist comments and it would be ok!
You can take Megan Kelly away from FOX NEWS. But you can't take FOX NEWS away from Megan Kelly, She can always go work for Alex Jones, Steve Bannon and Breitbart.
Wow. NBC and America are absolutely ridiculous! Megan didn’t say anything wrong. She -should- sue! This world has gone mad...
I would of loved to dress like Diana Ross! And I'm Caucasian! Kelly did nothing wrong!!! People lighting up with the racist card
I knew it I said as soon as she side that on tv I knew her ass would be fired they did it to Roseanne and Roseanne has been around a lot longer so megyn is like a fly on the wall. People should no by now to not talk on Live tv about the color of someone's skin. And people need to educate themselves before opening their mouth this is a huge thing in our world and it shouldn't be. Black white brown pink I don't care everyone is beautiful the way they are. Now megyn will have time to educate herself before finding a new job.
I’m a liberal and I’m really tired of the outrage. What she did was wrong and stupid but what ever happened to forgiveness and learning from our mistakes? The problem with the left is that all we have to stand on is identity politics. Why? Because the majority of corporate Democrats refuse to stand for the issues Americans care about: affordable healthcare, better wages, affordable college, jobs, ending needless wars. So we simply go for the low hanging fruit that won’t upset our corporate donors. It’s sickening.
Zero tolerance is the only way for black people to get respect and be treated as human. It is a crime in Germany to use Hitler rhetoric.
@@maamebroni6142 It's actually done more harm than good for them. How do they expect anyone to respect them if they don't even respect themselves? They don't even treat themselves as human, I've seen that a lot growing up in Brooklyn.
Better be zero tolerance for everybody then.
@ Morning Glory, I whole-heartedly agree with you. However, what she did was not wrong. She was misinformed and a little naive. So what? She didn't make a racist statement or even a negative one at that. I don't see the need for all of this outrage and hate. And I definitely don't think she has anything to apologize for.
Because she did it many times before genius & a lot of people were offended. Even if only one person is offended in the entire Universe you still have to apologize get it? Don’t say things that offend people unless you didn’t know what you’re saying then you apologize. Peace & I hope Trump get’s impeached and thrown into prison along with all of his supporters then we can have real peace!
Why do her eyes look soulless?
Another moutain out of a mole hill ! Yawn !
Politics are full of those
She apologises a lot!
1. Jane Fonda surgery
2. Will and Grace comment abt a fan turning gay
3. Fat shaming
4. Black face
I don’t know what to comment!
Poop is stinky!
Omg everything now is racist... I'm so scared to say blackboard in the classroom now... Here in Philippines once a year we celebrate United Nation in schools where student dresses up as different nationality around the world....im so glad no Americans are watching this pageants in my country coz God forbid...theres gonna be ANNIHILATION!!!
Great payday Megan! People need to chill out. She was talking about a Halloween costume as a KID. F'n PC culture
I watched the show that followed where Megyn apologizes and then has a show about the discussion of blackface as Halloween costume use. Megyn was at the wrong place at the wrong time. The way she addressed her comment, even though it was not ment to be harmful, everyone jumped on the bandwagon and went running through the studio with torches and pitchforks waving the racist flag. Come on America, that stereotype should be long gone and in the past, but is it really! I think if your going to call the kettle by another color then you might want to go after every single actor and actresses who every put makeup on to play a person of another race or color.
Then and only then can you really be fair. By the way, if the comment was so racially charged, then why wasn't it edited out of the show instead of broadcasted.
Can we all just get along already and stop looking at everyone like a science experiment. God be with you all, meaning Humanity.
You know this woman had a history of racism before this right?
IGNORANCE IS NOT AN EXCUSE !!!!
Everyone is ignorant until they understand something. Its actually always an excuse, you racist.
she was testing the waters. she knows blackface isnt acceptable in most cases. To condone a mostly racist practice makes a person look kind of racist and it is not good for a company to keep them. its a business move. To jeep girl and the other fool, why are you calling this lady racist. this is how she felt. The why are people here so dumb and judgemental
Hey um are u guys really getting this heated jeez hey I know better then to call white people names and say and do certain things around them as not to offend also i know that about asians and Hispanics and Italians I understand history of hurt for cultures like our jewish brethren And she is what i would consider educated so to not have known the history and hurt is ignorant she was wrong love you all bye bye
Sorry, I don't get it. So as a dark-skinned person, you're telling me I can't wear a Halloween costume different from my skin color?
Her bosses are white men. You should ask them that question.
Megyn Kelly will ultimately lose her fight, and her show will be cancelled. You can’t reason with the left. It’s over.
doomtomb3....Hey genius, I don't see Fox News having anyone with the mindset or the opinion of someone like a Al Sharpton. It's funny that Fox News doesn't because the Fox News cast are the only people who talk about Al Sharpton.

Megyn did nothing wrong. She did dig her grave by apologizing but her previous statements weren't racist at all. The Diana Ross costume was out of respect for her, and wanted to be portrayed accurately. Come on now. If it was literal black face and a plantation worker outfit, this would be a different situation. The drama on these news stations is unreal.
BY FELECIA
Don't disrespect Megyn Kelly
@I was born a poor black child Buh Bye Felica,Hopefully You Won't Go Out And Shoot Up A Daycare. You Sound About That Tough.
Zoila Martinez Megyn Kelly is an airhead and should be put in the corner like a child, which is what she is acting like. And how long has she been on air? My dad use to tell me I don't listen very well, well I'm listening now and I don't like what M. Kelly said and I'm glad she was fired.
I was born a poor black child Shut the fuck up, you cornball. Janice said two words and you got your panties in a bunch.
She shouldn't have apologized, as there was nothing to apologize for. Kids have been dressing up in white face (clowns) and black face (hobos) since Trick or Treat was invented (this is assuming she meant black face and not "Blackface" - as in minstrel shows). She made the whole thing much worse by apologizing and calling in the PBS folks to "educate" Americans. The woman clearly is intelligent, but has terrible instincts and judgement. Knowing how ridiculously politically correct network TV is these days, she never should have made the comments to begin with, but once said should have let them go.
You get fired for making racist comments. Seems pretty standard. You also don't have to be racist to make racist comments, but that's irrelevant.
Mr Bag May I ask what did she say that was racist? Did she personally attack a group of people?
MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL ! unbelievable ! Wtf ?
Im so sick of the only card in the deck.....its
Played over & over !
Mr Bag You sound like the typical liberal drone. Was what she said without thought and mindless? Yes. Was what she said racist and out of malice? Not at the slightest. Go get yourself reprogrammed, your hardware's outdated.
Remember that time, Jimmy Kimmel portrayed NBA Hall of Fame, Karl Malone in black face and broken English....🤔
Justice it's great when it happens. Sell out Megan
@1001shapes oh that's just great ..
Megyn*
Oh dear...Why do I feel Americans are hyper sensitive about this kind of thing? I don't think she had any malicious intent. If you so care about black people, go protest against them being targeted and killed indiscriminately. Megyn just voiced her opinion.
Jesus was most likely middle eastern... not white. Alot of medieval art portray him to be white to relate with white people of european descent. The truth is, we really have no idea what Jesus actually looked like physically.... other than the fact that there was nothing about him physically that would attract us to Him.
Also, there was nothing wrong with what Megyn said. She’s just apologizing so she doesn’t lose her job when she really has nothing to be sorry for.
Who knows , maybe Jesus was Cherokee - if only we could get a dna test for him !
The standard picture of Jesus may be incorrect , But a picture of Jesus that looks different or changes wont work either. All my life Ive seen only one portrait of Jesus and we all know it to be Jesus at a glance you know who it is.. If I saw a true picture of Jesus I wouldn't even recognize him as Jesus. The portrait I know as Jesus and millions of other people, That is the picture Megan was talking about Hes White. Everything I just said is Common Sense ! That too is leaving us as we have nothing in common. Extremely dangerous.
Lol, jews have never been the mix of black and white. During that time (just like nowadays) jews had almost no contact with black people.
Jews were and are white people, cause "white people" is a synonym to europid (or caucasian) race, which includes jews.
Well, he was born in Judea. That means 99% he was white. It s when we speak about historical part.
If we speak about miracles... well, it s the question of faith and I think black people in majority will say he is black, white people - he is white. But it is not connected with history.
I hope you understand that white person can t turn into black one because of wandering under the sun. Tanned skin is not black skin.
And every man has one skin colour (well, except Michael Jackson). The race can be mixed, but that was not very typical for that period. Plus again, black people never lived in Judea in mass, that s why I m talking about 99% he was white.
Yes, I know, why are you asking? And where was I assuming you re stupid?
Im a black guy, and i honestly didnt find her comments THAT bad. maybe ignorant... but nothing worth firing her over.
@notfurthesecund it was kinda bad because it seems like she blatantly ignores the social and historical problems of Blackface, whatever degree it's done in.
Everybody is way to sensitive nowadays. I can’t believe they feel she should lose her job. She is just ignorant to issues pertaining to people of color. I don’t feel she has an emotional commitment to that ignorance. I feel she will do better if she knew better.
No she is not ignorant. The white panel tried to tell her that if it's offensive to other people then don't do it. But she will not listen and drop it . She went on to say that blackface was ok when she was young. Which is false!
Good thing your feelings mean nothing here because there really isn’t an excuse to be a racist or even toe the line on that by saying controversial stuff that may not exactly be racist but can be ...
It was okay to the all white community she was around. Just like the N word being said when all white groups get together.
"She went on to say that blackface was ok when she was young. Which is false!" Apparently you don't remember the 1980's hit movie "Soul Man".
I agree with your comment 100%
She really did not say anything racist, in fact she was careful to explain and cover all of the bases and putting it on equal ground. i am sick of how people
turn everything into negativity, like how Al Roker gets off making it a much bigger issue than it is. She will probable have to be fired, cause some took her comments to be racist. This is getting f****ing ridiculous.
*Please somebody wake me up from this nightmare !*
*WHY THE F... DİD YOU APOLOGIZE MEGYN ?!*
Wth??? That's all she said and because of THAT her job is in jeopardy?? This is completely insane, there was nothing wrong with what she said! You even see a white and black woman in the audience nodding and agreeing with everything she's saying!! Stop apologizing!!

The underlying fallacy of all of this is conflating two different categories. "Black face" is dressing as a "black person" to portray, usually mockingly, that fundamental race, and is usually not mimicking an actual subject, but "blackness" as an abstraction. Therefore, it is racially derogatory because race is the actual object of the costume. But a person, such as Diana Ross, happens to also *BE* black, so as an matter of accurate appearance, a person with lighter skin would *de facto* darken their skin, among matching other nonessential physical features, without the actual object of the costume essentially being "blackness," or "curly headedness," etc. It's quite technically true to claim that this is not RACISM, no matter how many unintelligent woke people's toes that steps on. The racial essentialism here is actually on the part of the people complaining about it, because they're the ones that PRESUME race is essential, and that therefore, any de facto use of skin color itself, regardless of the object or the intent, is inherently racial. Woke people don't like to make that fundamental distinction because they want to preserve the abstractness of race so that they can categorize whatever they want under it and continue to provoke false hysteria. It's really a pseudo-moral issue. Dressing up as a "black person" is racist; dressing up as Eddie Murphy and making your skin dark is NOT.
I don't think she should have apologized say she made a mistake no she didn't she meant what she said the only reason it was a mistake is cuz everybody got upset and she had to make everybody happy why can't people have an opinion that's all it is just an opinion she's not writing policy here I don't get it why are people so hurt because somebody else has a different opinion than they do big deal that's what makes makes the world a great place diversity she wasn't hurting anybody with her opinion it was just an opinion people relax
As a black man I honestly did not see this as racist at all.
As someone who’s voted democrat for my entire life... I’m going to be outside waiting the night before to vote republican this time. This shit has gone to far.
Too far. LMAOOOOOO
No.
Gotta love fake apologies.
FIRE HER, FIRE HER.
don't disrespect Megyn Kelly
@@zoilamartinez5792 she lost all respect, from me and the general public if you want start a whyme movement.
@@zoilamartinez5792 you bigots gots to stay togefer you kno bro?
John Smith she look like a woman out of a cartoon book and second - bye Felicia
She is *CLUELESS*
Welp, another 1 whites...i mean BITES the dust.
Why did she apologize? Based on the clips shown, I don't see that she said anything wrong. She should have stayed on Fox, where her target audience appreciated her.
lol "jesus was white"
That Jewish dude right?
Ikr lmfao
Aren't arab and turks categorized as caucasian these days by the left?
She is out and she ain't coming back!
HAS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY GONE ABSOLUTELY CRAZY? I had heard a little of this story but I did NOT know she was FIRED for this!!!!??? I am NO FAN of Megyn Kelly, in fact, I found her approach to interviewing people to be unprepared, and lacking in intellect, at best and nauseating at worst. But THIS? She said, on the air, that she saw nothing wrong with a white person dressing up as Diana Ross for Halloween... something that, if you were a white person dressing up as Diana Ross, would necessitate applying a darker foundation, and she is suddenly attacked as a racist and then FIRED? I don't think there's a damn thing wrong with it EITHER. SO, let me get this straight, the whole WORLD Is supposed accept BRUCE JENNER as "Kaitlyn" and all without judgement or your just a hateful, homo/transphobe but a white person dresses up as their idol for Halloween, who happens to be black, and a television commentator CORRECTLY states that there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with this and gets ATTACKED, called a racist, and THEN gets FIRED? This is about as INSANE as it gets. I think it literally is certifiable INSANE!!! I cannot even believe what I am seeing and hearing. Wow.
She's not a racist. Her comment was not racist. This is stupid and I can't believe they fired her for it.
I’m on the left spectrum and I don’t think she should be fired.
She and others like her asking probably should take an english class that focused on the times before the civil rights. BLACK FACE WAS USED THEN and it WAS RACIST! Wearing it today symbolizes those times the whites were okay with oppressing colored people, by portraying them as animalistic, or beast like as the whites appeared in black paint as they did plays/movie. They made the black characters inferior to the whites. For example, watch the original Birth of Nation. Why should anyone tolerate that shit in 2018?
and shit if you want to be Diana Ross, by all means be her, you don’t need to change your skin color. Do we see little colored girls change their skin color on halloween when they turn into their favorite princesses? No.
For people who clearly are illiterate in the topic, I feel for them, and don’t think it’s appropriate to call them racist because they were clearly unaware.. Megyn is a journalist making millions, there is NO way that she did not know but in the scenario that she did, it is time to teach her, reach out, have a calm dialogue and move on. We need all types of voices part of the news, as I can’t tolerate FOX for their partisan ways.. It’s not okay what she said, but it is okay that she centered right - it keeps us out of the bubble.
She really thought that was okay not cool at all
Why is this so hard to understand.This country has an ugly past with doing black people wrong have some empathy.So much info and documentary on these subjects I don't know how u call your self educated and be ignorant to America History
This is getting out of hand. When it comes to racism it's all about intent. Start with the definition of racism: "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior." A person can dress up like Black Panther out of admiration for that character without being a racist.
