Megyn Kelly Was Fired For Mentioning Blackface. Jimmy Kimmel And Jimmy Fallon Performed In Blackface.

  1. So Megyn Kelly is getting fired by NBC for questioning whether a blackface Halloween costume is necessarily racist, but Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon can actually perform in blackface and apparently no one cares.
  2. NBC is wrong to fire Kelly over her blackface comments, but if that’s the standard, Kimmel and Fallon should be fired, too.
  3. NBC is wrong to fire Kelly over her blackface comments, but if that’s the standard, Kimmel and Fallon should be fired, too.
  4. The background, in case you don’t already know (lucky you), is that on Tuesday, Kelly made some pretty benign comments about blackface during a segment on the “costume police,” who now appear every Halloween to terrify and shame anyone who dresses in a costume someone deems offensive.
  5. Responding to comment from one her panelists about racist costumes, Kelly said, “What is racist? Because you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween, or a black person who puts on whiteface on Halloween.
