Megyn Kelly Doesn’t Get What’s Racist About Blackface

There was a reason why Megyn Kelly used to be so popular on Fox News. The political commentator (if we can even call her that), said on Megyn Kelly Today how she doesn't understand why blackface is racist.

"But what is racist?" she asked before launching into an ignorant tirade.

"Because you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween, or a black person that puts on whiteface for Halloween. And back when I was a kid," she continued, "that was OK, as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character."

Twitter was quick to annihilate her.

\u201cCan someone please explain to me why Megyn Kelly still has a job?\u201d

\u201cDear @megynkelly \u2014 you and I are approximately the same age. Blackface was NOT okay when we were kids. Take it from a big-hearted boy who just wanted to show his love for Nipsey Russell on the worst Halloween of my life.\u201d
