TV host Megyn Kelly was fired for suggesting blackface was OK. Now she's getting a $41m payout

I did a blackface impersonation of Louis Armstrong in Primary School in the 60s. & I definitely wasn’t mocking the great Satchmo, who I loved then & still do. I also watched the Black & White Minstrel Show on UK TV, & never thought it racist. Though it was different in the US

That sticks it up the political correct class who are trying control us with speech laws & forcing their views on others with control. Freedom of speech is the only way to have unbiased democracy & identify the all arsewipe extremists so they can hide behind speach laws.

Ah yes, the fascist brown shirts of the left at it again!

We are on the verge of one poor choice of phrase will have you sacked,where is the freedom of opinion. The old shows were entertaining , were back handed respect for the black American entertainers. We all learnt what was acceptable and what was not. Barriers were broken DOWN.

Old news... This was around Halloween last year. But you need a headline about race.

Was it to mock? I thought it was related to Al Jolson & British Minstrel Show on BBC television about 1958. Over time it was deemed inappropriate & insensitive. I may be wrong, but I don’t believe it was intentional to denigrate people of colour. Was it? auspol

Any word on whether she will be replaced by Karl Stefanovic?

This whole thing was so PC -I watched the segment - she definitely was NOT being racist- the PC world gone crazy again- no wonder the world is in a bad place!

What ugly history?

What if blacks wore white face or wore European clothes or Chinese Clothes or Burqas?

Didn't this happen months ago? Thanks for keeping us up to date.

so Al Jolson was mocking blacks was he....you really are the lowest of the low at the age aren't you

Wonder how Al Jolson would get on today LOL

Critics need to take a chill pill & buy some sense of humor.
