I haven't been able to find, with out another's comment, just what Ms Kelley said. Lot of video, just not just her words. Many telling what she meant.

From what I do remember from what was said, she was just saying what she remembered as a child and young adult. With out hearing all of what was actually said, I do remember black face and white face in shows and movies as a kid. I remember it as poking fun at each other. I don't remember as having thoughts of racial put downs just as making fun of each others different personality.

I fined it amusing that she didn't realize her blending in with the wolves when she left fox wasn,t going to be a cakewalk.

I was raised in the south by northern parents. I had two Black men I hunted with on regular occasions. One for coon and one for rabbits. They never commented on this subject. That was 50 years ago.

Bimbo...

I hate Megan Kelly. I do agree with her that there is a big difference in wearing black face to denigrate blacks as a whole, then in portraying a specific person, such as Diana Ross, who was her example. I don't see how dressing up like someone you like or idolize, of another race, is in the least racist. There is no intent to demean.

I also hate rosie odonnel. I found out one of her sons is a Marine, which makes me hate her less.

Keith

Its amusing how the libs look for people to denigrate in the name of equality.

If Diana Ross had painted her face white, there wouldn't be an issue. I don't care for Megan Kelly either, but can you say "Racial Hypocrites"?

So when does Robert Downey Jr get to go to jail for profiting from this? How about whoever wrote the script thinking it was a good idea? The other actors who went along with it?

Well, looks like she just got fired. Welcome to the new America

She has more than one son????
They must be twins, as nobody would **** that more than once!

I don't think I could drink that much and be drunk enough to do that!

More proof you CAN get pregnant sitting on toilet seats!

Just think about the firestorm that would be set off if they started showing Re-Runs of the Little Rascals! Poor Buckwheat! Even shows like All in the Family with Archie Bunker, or the Jeffersons. Man this world has started taking everything so serious! Or even worse, Let's re-watch the movie Blazing Saddles! lol

Back in the late 60's, early 70's there was a movie titled "The Watermelon Man", staring Godfrey Cambridge, I don't remember anybody screaming about that!

You know she's hot.

I just puked on that last picture

LMAO!!!!

Michael Jackson did everything possible to makemhis skin and nose look white. Why?

Who remembers Charlie Chan the detective back in the 60' he was a white guy with a rubber band on his head to make the eyes slant. I think the problem was they would not hire Blacks and Asians for the rolls so they had to doll up White folks to be the lead or major players back then.

Today one race can say anything they want but the other cannot respond or it's turned into a race issue then. Seen on Survivor the mean Black lady made a comment about the Black guys skin color and it is OK had a White player made the same stupid comment they would be off the show.

The wife loved the show with Kerry Washington working in DC (Scandal) and in the end the plot was the Country was run by a Black man in a secret covert B16 organization, she later went on in a interview to say she was a strong Black woman to be successful. Just seems being talented and accepted as a actress was not enough who did she think was watching her show to make it a hit? LOL


Until it's only about us and not us/them we will not get ahead it seems. Now if a guy or gal made that same comment about being a strong White person the Country would lose their minds today.

OMG blazing saddles. They would cry fowl!!!

Like the NFL players crying about them being entertainment for rich white guys! For millions of dollars a year.

Hobbie trapper you should have some sort of worning before posting pictures of ROSIE OPIGEL!!!!!!! Better yet how about a new rule against posting her pictures!

ehh. Ive been that drunk before.

I'm no fan of Megan Kelly .....but was what she said unacceptable in all colors or just " white " ?

Her and Alice C, both look like they enjoy the liberal news

I heard nothing in her statement that warranted an apology. She described using makeup to imitate someone of another race. Guess that nowadays it's culturally acceptable to for real change one's gender but racist to use makeup with a custom for Halloween. Somewhere I'm missing the logic

Used to laugh at John Byner's Bigot Family.

Call me Crazy ...but during the Trump campaign,when Megan Kelly was on....She was Hot !!

A put on a black face almost ever day for 27 years and the black guys I worked with never said a word. Then we were all coal miners.

Ted Danson did it without repercussions since he is a liberal hero:

Closed minded nbc fired her I guess

If what she said offended you I've got some bad news for you...

Life is going to be hard for you if that's all it takes to cripple you with despair.

Mike

She gave them an easy way to end her employment because her show was a failure. I have never seen her show, but I like her looks.

Exactly. They have been paying her multiples of what she is worth and needed a way out.

I read that even though they left her go, her contract was written so they had to pay her anyway.

I don't doubt it but the sooner they get on it, the sooner the pain will end.

Don't know anything about her but if she worked for NBC that is all I need to know. LOL I can say one thing she was easy on the eyes.

She got a little big for her britches at Fox and her overconfidence trying to challenge Bill ORiely. So NBC signs her to $23million per year. All the while NBC thinks she’s going to bring all/many of those Fox viewers and ratings. LOL, her show has been a miserable failure. There are significantly LESS viewers today at her time slot than BEFORE she started at NBC lol. NBC was looking for an exit plan with MK and they’re using her comments as the path to part ways. I didn’t think her comments were at all racist, merely an excuse for NBC.
That’s my take.

The fact you guys give a rip about a modern day Walter Cronkite is why there is a 'fake news'. If your selected and screened dum dum doesn't spoon feed you an opinion every night it's the end of the world. I wish 'judge Judy', or judge Jeanine would come out and tell you sap suckers what's up. You might listen to her.

I should start my own opinion show here in Tman. All you birds on a wire can line up and I'll give it to you all at once. 7pm. The daily dose.

"I had two Black men I hunted with on regular occasions. One for coon and one for rabbits. They never commented on this subject. That was 50 years ago."

You had two black men fifty years ago? Don't you know that slavery was banned more than 100 years before then?

Of course they wouldn't have said anything to you about black/white racial perceptions--they were probably too busy saying, "Yes, Massuh."

Jim

Racial strife will never end because its too profitable for the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

wow.

It's okay...it's James.

Jim

What would Archie Bunker say ?

I went to college with students whose family's owned large tracks of land. (Some over 20,000 acres.)I got to know quite a few land owners that had blacks living on their farms. What I saw were folks working for the land owner and the landowner providing a place to live, expenses paid, and spending money. There were whites in the mix. There was no welfare then. There were no factories there, for work.

I don,t ever remember a remark as you made. It was always the same response I taught my children. "Yes sir and no sir". "Yes mam and no mam".
The same response I learned as a child. It was respect for your elders. Black or white.

That is how I got into trapping. I made a trade with a trapper from Ohio. He helped me so I flew him down before trapping season and lined him up with 36,000 acres of land to trap near Selma Alabama for my part of the trade. The landowners were so grateful that they gave him freezer's for his fur and a place to stay. That was when fur was high, in late 70,s. He showed me 3 conibear sets and I went from there.

He trapped for two seasons. I remember him catching many animals. More than he had ever caught before in the same length of time.

correction-----smoking hot!!!!!!!!!!

I'm no fan of Megyn Kelly, but she gets fired for remarks about a black face costume, yet Hillary Clinton wore a black face at a costume party some years ago and no one said anything about it?

Kirk De, I apologize for the tone of my last post, and appreciate your civil response.

I intended to sound factitious, but as I re-read my post today, that tone doesn't come across very clearly.

Jim

I agree the network's decision was based on a slim excuse to let her go for poor ratings.

Jim

Believing that equality is the real goal here might be misleading today it does not appear that it would be enough the way the sports and entertainers complain even when they are getting more then the majority of the rest of the Nation!

Minorities play the race card because like almost everyone else they want more than they have and it works. Many white people have burdened themselves with guilt from the actions of some of their ancestors. Until we just judge each other by our abilities and actions, there will continue to be animosity between the races.

Where did Rosie get two sons? Did she adopt them? She's a lesbian, isn't she?

I looked it up. rosie adopted two boys and 1 girl and paid for 2 of her "wifes" to have in vitro fertilization to make 2 more girls.

rosie's first marriage was canceled when gay marriages were declared illegal, though she was already no longer with her.

rosie's second "wife" killed herself after rosie took custody of their daughter.

rosie's oldest daughter fled, said rosie smoked lots of marijuana, had nannies raise all the children and had little interaction with them.
