Megyn Kelly Believes White People Should Be Allowed To Wear Blackface
**UPDATE**
Megyn Kelly has “apologized” via an internal note according to CNN:
“One of the wonderful things about my job is that I get the chance to express and hear a lot of opinions,” Kelly said in the internal note, a copy of which was provided by a spokesperson for NBC. “Today is one of those days where listening carefully to other points of view, including from friends and colleagues, is leading me to rethink my own views.”
“When we had the roundtable discussion earlier today about the controversy of making your face look like a different race as part of a Halloween costume, I suggested that this seemed okay if done as part of this holiday where people have the chance to make themselves look like others,” she said. “The iconic Diana Ross came up as an example. To me, I thought, why would it be controversial for someone dressing up as Diana Ross to make herself look like this amazing woman as a way of honoring and respecting her?”
“I realize now that such behavior is indeed wrong, and I am sorry,” Kelly added. “The history of blackface in our culture is abhorrent; the wounds too deep.”
Sounds like some of Megyn’s colleagues got all inside her a$$.
This broad really sat on live television and said…*sigh*
Megyn Kelly doesn’t get what the big deal is about wearing Blackface. According to her, if some WASPy housewife wants to look like Diana Ross then she should be granted free pass to paint her skin dark in order to properly honor a Black woman.
Megyn Kelly dumb as hell.
Flip the page to witness her dragging in 280 characters or less.
Megyn Kelly is what happens when you leave your Tomi Lahren in the sun for too long.

Roseanne got blown up in a meth lab on her own show. She was once a cultural icon. Y’all gonna let ole nobody-faced Megyn Kelly keep rocking? Come on, white women. Disavow her and get her fired. Sacrifice her in the name of allyship. Do it! Do it! Do it!

NBC cancelled the 9am hour of the Today Show hosted by Tamron Hall and Al Roker so Megyn Kelly, who gets paid more than twice their combined salaries, can do this. https://t.co/yINbQ8wptr

So Megyn Kelly thinks it's wrong for black men to dress up like Santa, but not for white women to dress up like Diana Ross. Check.

Hey remember when you all tried to convince us that being feminist meant supporting Megyn Kelly? https://t.co/Wuz4F3Ge0Y

It is such a problem that Megyn Kelly can make a pro-blackface argument without anyone there to meaningfully pushback. https://t.co/bEygYz7z6F

Somebody tell Megyn Kelly it's TOTALLY possible to portray a Black character/person without donning Blackface.
