its very specific things i see as wrong. we going to be stagnant forever as long as we keep punishing people for their wrong thoughts and ideas without expressing how we feel too and coming to common ground. also this idea of how we say "people are being to sensitive" is so one sided. if thats how they feel we should be considerate of that and express ourselves or tell jokes in a new, better, considerate way. she didnt deserve to loose her job or receive all this negativity but instead have someone come on to explain why blackface is offensive to them and have a open minded discussion to come to an understanding.

So why is Meghan Kelly losing her job, and Jimmy Kimmel on the other hand is not, when Jimmy painted his whole body black and made a skit about Karl Malone? what was the difference? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aPbefau2Zc

Jimmy Kimmel Black face AND body.
Watch- -
Kids WANT to be those Halloween costumes because they want to be like the person they are dressing up as. It’s actually a huge compliment to want to look so much like that. People getting offended by Meghan simply raising questions for discussion are out of control, as our overly sensitive society is these days.

Wow, as a black man, I feel sorry for America too Willie. Can anyone say Salem Witch Trials! If we don't learn from history we are destined to make the same mistakes. Granted she is not burned at the stake, nevertheless, defamations wounds can hurt for a lifetime. Truly Sad!

Kelly Dumped? The day I always knew would happen. When the left start to EAT their own…
Her career ended the night at the debate when she tried to humiliate Trump.
She as most thought, Hillary Killary would win and she would be looked at as a she-ro !
Another Anti-Trumper goes down in flames! -
I am a blk person and I do not see anything racist about what Megyn Kelly said.  Why those accusers continue to put down blacks and we agree with their foolishness.. You cannot say " a black face," when you refer to a mask, you cannot say "monkey this up," when you refer to fooling around, and these people do not reference it to black people.   WE can"t say "Jesus," because you will offend other religious groups.  The accusers are the only people who are allowed to have freedom of expression by saying what they think. God have mercy on us.

It would be a good learning situation for many people who don't have a clue on these things. Being fired just blew that opportunity.
-
Back when she "…was a kid it was okay".
-
I wonder, if a man dressed as a woman who is a maid or a waitress with a
dress, apron, a vacuum in one hand and a pie in the other and that man said "that was
okay as long as you were dressing up like a character" would Megyn be
okay with that? Would everybody question and complain about what the big deal was with that? Just saying. -
This makes no sense.
No one seems offended.
Oppression of free speech.
Lawsuit for wrongful termination, she'll win. -
Hahahahahahaha

Welcome to the world the Snowflakes made.
-
Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel both did black face, let's get them fired people!
-
This is crazy..
-
LOL! L8ter!

The lesson here: if you help create the mob, it may eventually turn on you.

the real racist is at the white house
-
What she said isn't racist. I am a black man and not a fan her
-
Well I don't feel sorry for her it's not like she's getting fired and not getting paid she is going to get millions out of this do to her contract with NBC. She did the same thing at fox when it came to race. I guess she forgot she was not at fox anymore. She should have known better or was it that she wanted to see if she could bring a little fox news to her show ?
-
Why is there a weird circle of skin under her nose when she smiles ? Gross . WHAT is she ?
-
Blacklash not backlash. Like that one dude said whitelash. How wack but she gets what she gets running to the libs ! Now her head is on a silver platter .
America has turned into pussies -
Candy ass black bull shit live in the real world ass holes she has so much money she can take a shit on stage tell everyone to eat it !!!!
-
Plus White chicks is a perfect example. You have two black men dressing as white girls making fun of them for a movie. Wakeup and open your eyes same damn issue.
-
Here we go again. Making a big deal about stuff again. Drama drama drama folks. Just another way to make more devision in this country between two races. I dont think she meant any harm at all. And its ok for black comedians to talk smack about white folks. Come on people thats not ok either. Lets not just sweep that under the rug.
-
This is bull shit
-
I'm no fan of hers but it really seems as though they were just looking for an excuse to fire her since her ratings were awful

Tammy, the crippled girlfriend. Hey, Tammy, you're crippled and I hate you a lot! That's not very nice. I don't care. How did you get crippled anyway? A piano fell on me. You're so dumb Tammy for letting that happen. I know. Please forgive me. There's no way Tammy that I will ever forgive you! No way!
-
Have not cared for, or watched her she trashed President Trump during the debates. I felt like she was grandstanding, simply to elevate herself. Too bad NBC couldn't see through her BS They could've saved several million.
-
We as America let black people pull the race card all they want and we have to apologize but let a black man say something bad about the white race or Jews it's okay then
-
FACT: Robert Downey Jr made millions of dollars doing blackface in the 2008 movie tropic thunder
-
All you people are so sensitive now you're all bunch of pathetic morons
-
While what she said was incredibly stupid, don't think for a second her career is over. This will probably play out like that Paula Deen nonsense: she goes to the racial penalty box for a moment and then makes some apologies (or likely not) and then resurfaces elsewhere.
-
Looks like Kelly will have to crawl back over to FUX and friends to negotiate an oral agreement.
-
I cant believe this woman lost a $20,000,000/yr job on a network television show over a simple comment on what people used to find acceptable in a holloween costume. Anyone who finds this racist is just plain oversensitve. The way the media was carrying on I thought she ACTUALLY showed up in blackface make up..wtf is wrong with our country these days?
-
As a black person, I am absolutely not offended by what Megan Kelly said because she has a right to her opinion, or does she?
-
I dont understand why white women or white people like Megan Kelly or Rosanne Barr aren't allowed to have a simple opinion! What happened to freedom of speech??? All Megan Kelly and Rosanne Barr did was voiced their opinions on something and they lose their jobs. Why, they never threatened anybody or called anybody out of their name, they just stated their opinion, that's it! We are too politically correct.
Black people can dress in white face, but it becomes taboo when a white person dresses in black face or thinks there'snothing wrong with it. It's very one-sided.
-
I really don't like Megyn Kelly and have been waiting for the day when she would crash and burn. But not like this.. She does not deserve to be fired for the comments she made. Just as Roseanne should not have been fired for the comments she made, which by definition were far worse than what Megyn Kelly said. Ms Kelly's comments were no doubt innocent. It's a said world we live in, so advanced and yet so backward.
-
Who cares. At the end of the day she's still worth millions
-
Now someone should release her back to Jurassic Park to live free with the other Velociraptors. #TakeMegynBackHomeTJurassicPark

I don't usually say much online, but felt inclined. I'm a black male, who has just spent the last 15 minutes searching numerous clips–including this one–for the big racist comment Megyn is in the hotseat for. I kept thinking, "why won't they actually show the comment?" Then I realized that WAS the comment: that blackface/whiteface costumes were considered fine when Megyn was a child–which is undoubtedly true; the same was true when I was a kid. (But then again, when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s, it was also ok to drive past a black person walking down the street, call him n****r, and throw a bottle at his head. By, "ok," I mean that, at least as far as the law in that particular area was concerned, this was not considered a crime or offense. As an aside, to my knowledge–as recently as the 70s–it was also perfectly legal for a man to rape his wife. So the world has changed a good bit). Back to the point, I don't know anything about Megyn, or her past, but her being fired for this particular comment–in and of itself–seems absurd. I see nothing racist or offensive about that comment. It's the truth. If anything, I'm offended imagining that people are no longer allowed to mention the unflattering history of America as far as minorities (and women) are concerned. Having said that, in 2018, I don't think we need to LIVE in that history–but we should not act like it didn't happen, and fire people for even alluding to it. The wrong was in the history–NOT Megyn's mention of it. Personally, I think people–all people–should be more cautious these days, about when to play the race card. I believe it often does more harm than good. Just my opinion.

Why did Megan get paid 20 million dollars a years? Theres thousands of journalists out there but only a handful of these turds get picked and shipped around all over the place. She was paid that much to lie. Well sorry Kelly. Play with matches you get burned. Theres no honor amongst theifs.
