Is Megyn Kelley an idiot or just looking for attention?

That's what my wife asked me this morning... No idea what she was talking about, but I assured her that as an on-air news-like personality, Megyn Kelley is definitely an idiot...

Then I heard the news report that she had justified black face and I thought ya, idiot for sure...

Then I read her actual comments...

“You do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface for Halloween, or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. Back when I was a kid, that was okay just as long as you were dressing as a character.”



Wtactualf? Where's the offensive part? There's a picture in my parents hallway of me and my brother dressed in blackface in the mid 80s... Wasnt a big deal to anyone at the time to anyone we knew because we were dressing as a character...

I mostly like her. She's a lightening rod, to be sure, but when doing actual journalism, she's pretty good. One of the better debate moderators of recent elections, too.

Just going out on a limb here. I think the offensive part is the fact that one, it spilled out from a Caucasian Female, two, it spilled out from a fairly wealthy Caucasian Female, three it spilled out from a well known, fairly wealthy, Caucasian female. Last, It spilled out from a well known, fairly wealthy, Caucasian female, who is on TV. So my assumption right off the bat is that typical society's take on the matter is that a famous, wealthy, entitled, privileged, white cracker, who is on TV done went and opened her mouth about "Black Face" and it pissed some people off. When in reality she was just saying "This is not how things were in my day, I do not understand."

Just a guess on my end as I don't know for a fact this is the case. Its just how I view the world as my perception is my reality and we all know, Everyone's perception is different and I very well could be a little Re Re and
just not know it.Confused

I don't have time for a longer response regarding my thoughts on this.

But I find the idea really funny... Let's assume (I could be wrong) that megyn Kelley grew up in an upper middle class suburban neighborhood in the 80s. At that time those neighborhoods were almost all white, and any minorities present generally tried to avoid drawing attention to themselves.

And she's suprised that when she dressed in blackface none of her white friends in her white upper middle class neighborhood thought it was offensive. And the one black family just wasn't going to say a damn thing....

My very progressive village of 17,000 actually had TWO black families in the 70's....and I don't recall anyone outraged about blackface anything....tbh, both those black families did a great job of being whiter than most of the white families...I doubt anyone even knew what blackface was....in fact, I'd bet 90% of the population thought Al Jolson was black

Fun watching the media eat their own.

The bar is so low to offend someone now, I feel someone might come after us for using black text on a white background.

Cigarbid should be more inclusive. Their use of contrast is offensive. It divides us.

All print should be gray over the same shade of gray.

Don't bother going to work tomorrow. Once they see your post, you're fired.

It's like you just built a statue of David Duke, Anally violating Sally Hemings.

You and Hitler. Worst.....people..... ever.

I wouldn't kick her out of bed, but "smoking hot gash"? That's giving her too much credit, Chief. Turn the camera lights off and clean off the paint and we'll have a second look. And her journalism is quite possibly worse than her looks.

Not so many years from now, they will advance the cybernetic sciences and AI to the point that a machine can fool the senses and perceptions of most all people, and pass as human.

And when that day comes, and it will come, those machines will look like Megan Kelley.

Sound like her too, they will....

With the exception of the third sentence, can anyone else discern what any of this means?

As far as who I am, Mr. Jones, I'm just here to enjoy your company and occasionally stir things up.Herfing Herfing

I wouldn't dress in black face.

But anyone who gets offended at how other people dress on halloween?
F*ck them AND their mothers.
Twice.

Unless the costume is created just to offend, who cares?

Get back to your life.
Wait for November 1st and your trauma will be over.

People are just looking for reasons to be offended.

I long for the day that the worst thing that happens is related to what a complete stranger wears on halloween.
