Why can’t people have an honest conversation? People need to quit looking for reasons to b offended, and open there minds to other opinions. They may lean something. Or just agree to disagree.

Am confused 🤷‍♂️ what did she say ? & what’s ‘ blackface ‘ mean ?

I am an American and I will wear whatever I want to and my children will wear what I approve.... not what someone else approves. Just sayin. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

That’s terrible, I will definitely protest Halloween this year...

Children’s don’t see their superheroes is black or white. They see them as superheroes. So what does it matter what superhero they want to be? Their children.

Lol funny

No such thing as cultural appropriation in America it’s called a melting pot for a reason everyone uses other people’s culture to learn from and to love. BlackFace isn’t appropriation it’s stupid and disrespectful.

Holy crap, 99% of Mexicans do not care if you wear a pancho or sombrero. Grow up! Intent is not meaningless.

Still waiting for ABC to let Jimmy Kimmel go.

Blackface=Blacklisted

Holy crap it’s Halloween u can paint your face any color u want.

Just don’t celebrate Halloween. Leftists have ruined everything.

Dont give her credit for being a racist.

Trick or treat.

Myopic trash comments are myopic trash. It takes nothing to adjust our behavior toward a future where we don't treat most groups as if they weren't human. Not-being-a-dick-about-things is a radical new way of interacting with the world. Highly recommended. Reading required.

This PC stuff is just so old and overblown. Is there anyone left that is confident enough with their own identity where silly shit like this isn’t offensive?

Halloween is Not Related to Africa. Halloween is an Irish Scottish costum. Don’t mix it. Not acceptable.

Give me a break!!! So ridiculous

I am so sick of this generic homogenized country we are becoming. You can’t be funny anymore. You can’t be a little offensive without someone wanting to sue you. Guys are afraid to hold a girls hand because they will scream assault. Ridiculous

I guess my Black Panther costume is toast

The imaginary threat of white racism serves to protect the dominance of multiculturalist elites in government, media, and business. Keeping the masses continuously alert to this imaginary threat effectively diverts attention away from their dispossession.

You can dress up and have fun as whatever you want on Halloween. The end. Get over it SJWs.

All the racist Whites in this thread demanding their privilege to mock POC be upheld is a real trip.

All a bunch of B.S selective anger. All against someone who misspoke. But let’s overlook the fact that SarahKSilverman and jimmykimmel Have dressed in black face on a number of occasions. It’s clear why Megyn was targeted. The hypocrisy is amazing.

is we get JimmyKimmelLive out next? blackface

There was a whole trope on Super Store about this. Just watch that? That way you can avoid Megyn Kelly thoughts.

The point is that the conversations a good thing.

You mean how she said that back in the day it was ok? And how Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman and other have done skits in the past? You know back in the day? The faux outrage is getting ridiculous, and I’m not a Megyn Kelly fan.

Political correctness is now ruining Halloween in 2018. Poor kids - they don’t think about being racists, but our messed up society is training innocent minds to think this way. Kids are just having fun and trying to be like their fav celebrity role models for Halloween.

FFS it’s Halloween - lighten up.

Meaning there is no such law that protects culture appropriation. Freedom of expression even allows you to dress up as you wish.

Kinda funny because it’s neither. It’s no more cultural appropriation or race than Hollywood entertainment. Unless 5 year olds are out putting on minstrel shows, this shouldn’t even be a debate.Then again, some blacks are ridiculous enough to demand reparations too. 🤷‍♂️ blackface

So something good came out of airhead Megyn Kelly’s bonehead comment about blackface. A great teaching moment.

Leftist ruin everything. There goes Halloween. Next thing you know Ugly Contest fundraisers (where neared men wear dresses) will be banned because the kookie, gender confused will protest. PC will be the death of America.

Nope, no they don’t, stupid

Everyone enjoy Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas...

The First Amendment guarantees our right to free expression and free association, which means that the government does not have the right to forbid us from saying what we like and writing what we like; we can form clubs and organizations, and take part in demonstrations

No they don't! Only lefty sjws fall for that crap. I'm going blackface tonight!!!

Spoiler Alert: THIS IS NOT FUCKING DEBATABLE

Liberal Hollywood’s actual blackface dress-ups are ignored out of convenience.

Segregation is clearly the answer. When will we start the racial ethno-states in America? Let's get it over with...

I think we are all too sensitive when it comes to race related issues. We laugh about it when comics do it, movies are made about it, but when we hear other members of society say it, we are outraged.

Oh for Pete's sake. Nobody would have survived in the deep past.

There shouldn’t be a debate. Blackface = bad. Being a Native American or a ninja = fine.

This conversation has been talked about every Halloween for at least the last 5, possibly 10 years. Basically ever since 'progressives' took political correctness & their 'oppression' & 'victim' hierarchy narrative to an absolutely insane, off the charts level. Utter insanity.

I'd say the reaction of NBC is making this a problem, not Megyn. No justification in firing Megyn.

Not really.

Here is the latest costumes in Canada

I guess non Europeans need to stop speaking English.

megynkelly got a raw deal. She apologized for a comment that many found inappropriate and many others found innocuous considering the coversation in total. NBC has not been forthright in why they dismissed Megyn Kelly

...just don’t dress your kids up in blackface, as Natives or as Hitler. That’s like 3 things.

By the way she was the only one on NBC going after NBC Execs for sexual assault cover ups as she is openly a feminist and if you libs sit there let them get away this obvious waiting for an excuse to fire her you deserve this crap.

Some of us my friends including some of our black friends the white ones will have black faces and the black ones will have white faces oh what a Halloween we will have. Some of the people having a problem with black faces need to get a life

Um...Every single sane adult and child who never worked for Fox News knows that blackface is wrong. I don’t think anybody needs to have a huge discussion about this.

So N O W we have to worry about offending someone with a kids Halloween costume since everyone’s so sensitive and sucks the life right out of every single thing because every single thing must possibly be about race, culture, religion, politics and etc. smh

I can see why.

Yeah.... my heritage is being appropriated. Who can I sue?

Screw PC culture.

All culture in America is appropriated, this used to be something that brought us together but now divides us because of hypersensitivity and baiting

Oh for fucks sake.

I will not stand around while my culture is being appropriated.

How do costumes debate each other? 🤔

Yet jimmykimmel’s blackface didn’t

Megyn Kelly apologizes for blackface commentsThe NBC host questioned on her show why darkening one's skin as part of a Halloween costume would be considered racist. Poor lady, she’s naturally white power, she can’t help it Should I be offended at mimes more because they are annoying or because they are now 'racist'? I think its just a media costume. I think we should be inclusive and paint our faces many colors.
