Megyn Kelly Makes Tearful On-Air Apology for Blackface Comments
Urban Hollowood ^ | October 24, 2018

Posted on 10/24/2018 8:48:01 AM PDT by yoe

An emotional Megyn Kelly began her program Wednesday morning by reading a prepared apology for her comments the previous day defending blackface Halloween costumes.

“I’m Megyn Kelly. And I want to begin with two words — I’m sorry,” the Megyn Kelly Today host said as she fought back tears. “You may have heard that yesterday we had a discussion here about political correctness and Halloween costumes, and that conversation turned to whether it is ever okay for a person of one race to dress up as another — a black person making their face lighter or a white person making theirs darker… I defended the idea.”

Our 2-year-old granddaughter loves Moana (Disney character - South Pacific ethnicity).

But, sadly, she cannot be Moana for Halloween, due to it would be deemed as cultural misappropriation.

The old phrase, “you made your bed, now you can sleep in it.” comes to mind.

I guess she made her choice.

American’s are free to do as they please. I am armed, therefore the “offended” are irrelevant.

I was hoping she was making a public apology to President Trump for trying to take him out in that first debate. THAT would serve her much better.

Yep. She’s a loser. She kneels before the mob.

Its not even a mob. Its a few angry leftists on social media.

What’s even more stupid is that NBC paid her $20 million (or whatever it was) to poach her from FOX, like she matters or the audience is going to follow her.

Me-Again took the crown as the Queen of Loserstein in 2015 after she decided to try and derail Donald Trump at the debates. Her career has been in a tailspin ever since. Now here she is being eaten by the very people with whom she decided it would be more profitable to consort.

Stupid, stupid woman.

This is considered important to these people. They are a bad joke. I guess we were hateful as kids when we would dress up as bums for Halloween. It’s ridiculous.

Many years ago I dressed my three year old son as Aunt Jemima for Halloween and used burnt cork to make the black face. He looked adorable. The left has figured out how to suck the fun out of everything.

Megan Kelly is reduced to bawling under pressure from liberal thugs.

I never apologize; its a sign of weakness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Same here. People need to just get over it.

I also never call anyone Sir. And I sure as hell don’t call a psychologist DOCTOR. If I call someone doctor they better have a finger lubed up or a knife in their hand.

MeGyn should realize that apologies to the PC mob never work. Oh well, she deserves all the grief she gets.

She had nothing to apologize for, and Al Roker can go take a hike. He’s nothing special. Ugly Al would have been quietly let go decades ago, but since he is a well known user of the Race Card, it would have looked bad.

Megyn, Baby Doll, you don’t belong on that network. It’s never been a good fit. The fact that they ran a feature on your so called ‘faux pas’ yesterday says that your own network is turning against you.
Too bad you have already burned your bridges at Fox News.
But, who know, Megyn, with Lachlan Murdoch now running the show, you may have a chance to return to the fold.
After all, you convinced him and his brother to go after Roger Ailes two or three years ago.

Still have a slide photo of myself and a few neighborhood kids on the front porch in all our costumes, circa 1963...ish.

One kid, white and about 10 or 11 years old, is dressed in blackface as a pregnant nun.

she said that when she was a little kid it was ok for kids to paint their faces darker or lighter to go with their costume. And she understood that going blackface or whiteface wasn’t something that was done now, but it was done back then. Lemon, in his typical hissyfit, holier than thou manner, said he didn’t care if it was a long time ago, ‘it was never ok’ for a wyt child to darken their face (unless you are liberal Rebecca Dolezal or Ted Dansing in which case he will defend you). Didn’t say anything about going ‘light face’ tho.

However, in light of supporting Fakeahauntingus’ ‘one drop’ Indian heritage, and Dolezal’s NAACP ‘no drop’ wavy perms, and his own French Cameroon heritage, he proves himself a racist caught up in sterotypes. By the implication that ALL wyt children MUST BE 100% wyt and so must only ACT wyt and not any other part of their heritage. I wonder what he thinks of african/Asian/latinx girls who bleach their skin or wyt girls who naturally tan?
