Are These Halloween Costumes Too Controversial To Wear? | Megyn Kelly TODAY
![โอ้มายก๊อด! ไม่ถึงชั่วโมงหมดเป็นแสน 😅 [cc] แดนแพทตี้ SS2 | EP.42 |](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/OH2ShXfO6tA/mqdefault.jpg)
I came straight to the comments
Me too.
120277mk Hello hello no
"I'm a little fired up"
I can not say how ironic that statement is.
amal zuhair most underrated comment here
HAHAHAHA.
She’s fired up and she got fired from NBC News due to this interview thank you NBC I truly appreciate you
She’s fired up and she got fired haha
the show got canceled because of her political views (and because she's white)
there's a reason the view is still going on after goldberg made comments on the holocaust
“apparently been some rule” when talking about a native american costume.... there is a whole background behind why natives wear what they wear..
Correct! It's not something to be ridiculed and disrespected. But I guess if you know nothing of Native American history and respect for your Elders you wouldn't have a clue about it.
It’s a fair rule. But anybody could have been a cowhand. Yeehaw 🤠
X Kaxsky. i didn’t know there was an ancient ceremony in coWbOy culture that required them to wear a cowboy outfit😀
@@andriylashchyk8007 My culture isn’t a costume for people to be “fun” we earn each feather on our headdress, jingle dress, ect. Culture isn’t something for people to dress up as and joke about no us native americans and ancestors and other cultures have been SLAVED by the caucasians and just for caucasians to wear what their ancestors stripped us from? WE ARE STILL HERE.❤️💛🖤🤍
@@andriylashchyk8007 your from europe, you wouldn’t know what culture is because you have none at all.
Could those two women sitting behind MK be just a little more over the top pulling their shocked faces, and "whatttt???" faces.
Mary Fields Omg you read me mind.
Probably studio plants.
Well it takes professionals to be able to sit there on that show, and listen to this entitled crap
Literally didn’t take my eyes off them the whole time
cant help but think they wanted to get rid of her for other reasons than this
Duklon Stennett NBC is a largely democratic station and she’s pretty much the only republican. So yeah.
Yes, Duklon, ratings.
Business Insider writes:
"Megyn Kelly has a three-year, $69 million contract with NBC, but her show's ratings are lagging.
"Megyn Kelly Today" averages about 2.4 million viewers. "Live With Kelly and Ryan" reaches an audience of 3 million in the same time slot on ABC.
Tamron Hall and Al Roker, the hosts who previously had her time slot, made less than half of Kelly's salary with higher ratings."
Viewers = $$$ to advertisers.
Low views = ads won't pay NBC $$$ for spots
If ads won't pay NBC = NBC may feel they're not getting what they pay for w/ Megyn.
If it were just this comment, I think it would have been forgiven, esp. given her big apology the very next day.
So you may be right: "other reasons"...in addition, I'm sure.
MegaGug 95
What makes you think she is a Republican? She might be an independent, but I really don’t think Megan Kelly is a Republican. I’m actually almost certain that she is a Democrat, but the fact that I can’t tell you for sure speaks to why she is better at what she does than just about anyone else in the industry.
She was overpaid. Other than that, they did give a conservative woman a platform.
@@MegaSheen15 They are ALL pretty much "democratic" stations besides Fox.
I have a suggestion...when discussing racial matters...try to have a diverse panel...just a suggestion...
i dont think it was specifically meant to be a racial discussion.
She was talking about political correctness in general.
im jewish- should i be offended about her Ann Frank comments?? No i didn't think so.
The people looking to be offended grabbed one or two lines and exactly proved her point about political correctness gone mad.
You should educate yourself a little bit before making such statements. You can argue against PC culture and that's fine. but if there is a line It most certainly got crossed way before it reaches blackface. Blackface is a coconspirator of lynching and cross burning.
Megyn wasn't looking to stir up a controversial issue. No black person needed. Megyn was raised in a household where you can use a black costume for Halloween or a white costume for Halloween. End of story.
😂😂
lovechild tre haha truth
there's a difference between wearing a costume that portrays a character and wearing a costume that portrays a stereotype about a group of people.
She wants to dress blackface that's fine
@@charlieblue2987 time stamp where she said that..because she never said that.
the show got canceled because of her political views (and because she's white)
there's a reason the view is still going on after goldberg made comments on the holocaust
I'm watching this for the first time. I must say I'm shocked -- by how inoffensive that was.
I Cannot believe she was fired over this. What she said was so completely innocent. She was literally speaking of a time decades before when things were different.
@David Carlson way to bring politics in this
We’re the same age. They weren’t different.
Oh please! Stop making this political. It was actually fine until she dissed the fella’s views about knowing right from wrong and racism. She almost scoffed. She doesn’t get it and never will. Mind you she told kids Santa and Jesus are white.
@@lisabever2115 you mean when racism was normal ??? Lmao
I’m so glad such a diverse panel of people are discussing what is considered racist and offensive!!!!
Well, considering that a "diverse" panel would be full of easily-triggered, hypersensitive PC snowflakes that find everything racist and offensive, I think this panel is capable of being far more objective.
@@44excalibur yes just like you! Your very objective aren't you.
I'm dressing up as Nat Turner for Halloween
44excalibur you do realize that not all persons of color are liberal?? I wasn’t even bringing up politics...
NPC alert.
As a Black man, I was not upset about this at all.
Megan spoke the truth, where was the racists comment, seriously.
Total BS. They were looking for a reason to fire her.
Exactly op. The word racist is becoming a joke! She also said you should be able to handle the repercussions if you wear it.
@@davidyatesmckay Do you know her?
Well, as a Black man I found it racist and I hope you do history on the term Black face and it’s origins. It’s your opinion though! Either way she is gone lol and that is a FACT not an opinion!!! Her show sucked anyway according to ratings. Another Fact.
I'm sure the fine people at blackedcom will be more than happy to accept Megyn's apology and give her a shot at a new career more inline with her respect and sensitivities towards historically marginalized groups.
You said it perfectly, they just wanted her out
I think Melissa Rivers was more offensive than Megyn Kelly. Just me??
Totally agree!
I didn't like what Melissa said about Michael Jackson
I think both of them were offensive, but definitely Melissa rivers was offensive about the Michael Jackson joke
@@deb310red what did she mean by that comment?
She was fired FOR THIS? Give me a breakkkkkkkkkkk. Wrongful dismissal. It was a conversation about HALLOWEEN.
I am a person of color and I still cannot find her insulting comment. I hope she sues.
Cameron Cheli u mean about wearing black face as a Halloween costume ?
Making A Mockery Of Black History Saying It's Okay As Long As It's Someone, And Everything's Gonna Be Alright If We Mock Black People Once Every Year. If Other White People Can See It🙄
@No No Did I Ever Say That Some White People Couldn't? If The White Person Liked The Black Person So Much Why Not Respect Their History Or Is It That You Only Like A Select Few And Don't Care About The Race? What She Was Saying At The Beginning Is Very Disrespectful Considering The Topic, Her Tone Was An Instant Turn Off And Very Negative.
ben , tens of millions? There is so much poverty in the world, and she'll get top dollar to just talk on TV.
Just for saying. "That was OK as long as you were dressing up in character"? She would have had to use deragatory terms to REALLY get her OUT.
Racism is horrible, and I'm not a fan of Megyn Kelly, but all she said is that dressing as a character in blackface used to be okay. She didn't say it was acceptalbe now. What's the big deal about what she said? If THAT offends you, that's a concern. The U.S. has become way too politically correct.
She said it was acceptable when she was younger. This is false.
Problem is, it was never really ok. Just because something was done back then..... I mean, women smoked while pregnant. If you know better, do better. It's not hard to not darken your face for a costume. I've been every Disney princess under the sun without putting white on my face. There just isn't a need for it. It shouldn't be hard to think of others. I'm not personally offended by her comment, it just isn't correct.
@@brettramirez4749 Yes it was to Whites
Brett Ramirez it was accepted when I was younger or at least where I lived
EXACTLY! All she did was share a memory from her childhood, she was not condoning anything. People are absolutely way too sensitive. This is America we have rights to free will, it is impossible to not offend someone. But, she is being blamed for something she did not even do, because people just jump on the racists wagon with no reason what so ever. It blows my mind.
This rant coming from the woman who had a huge issue with black Santa. Such hypocrisy!
Joe Bien Santa is an imaginary character loosely based off someone in real life. Emphasis on loosely since he also has flying reindeer and a magical sleigh. Santa can be black.
Santa Claus is Greek.
Santa ain't real 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Joe Bien And it’s make believe, so trying to act as if Santa can only be of a certain race is idiotic.
@Joe Bien Johnny Storm from fantastic 4 is white too... Until he's not 😂😂 Santa a character my guy. He's not real. He can be Asian and riding a flying bison for all I care if it makes kids happy. Just let it be.
I dressed up as Jesus to school and got sent home by 2nd period
ShowYaFriends lmao
Yeah your second period.
Gahahahag
.... and on the third period, did you "rise again (in accordance with the Scriptures)" and return??
THAT's what " the real Jesus" would've done!
😉
@@ShipsKat LOL true
I love how the panel sat there and didn't challenge Megan on anything.
I never watch these shows. Had to review what the issue was. I watched 3 times. I am still waiting. She should not have apologized.
I really don't see what she had to apologize for. Come on, where has common sense gone?
I agree with you she said nothing wrong at all
@Cassidy Tran
Sorry, have to disagree. There was no racism. You can argue a little cluelessness but no malice. And racism is malicious.
She needs to put on that F costume and her husband that U costume, she should never have apologised. She did nothing wrong.
Well somebody thought it was wrong that's why she needs a new job she'll be standing in the unemployment line LOL
you find me offensive? i find you offensive for finding me offensive
I find you offensive for finding me offensive for finding you offensive.
.
I'm shadyyyy😅
Megyn Kelly I love you too as millions do too. I recorded your show daily to watch you and to listen to your most important news topics everyday. I am upset that one tiny mistake takes you away from all us that follow and adore your intelligence. I will NOT BE WATCHING NBC!!!! They made a terrible mistake!!!!!
NBC found it offensive that theyre paying someone like her for $69 million to say something stupid,...
The ladies in the back. So distracting 😅
I finally watched, and this was it?! It wasn't as bad as the network made it out to be. Clearly they have been wanting to fire her, and took this, as a way out.
She basically implied that dressing up as the stereotypes of different races shouldn’t be offensive.
@@melanie9035 lol, no she didn’t. She said that when she was a kid, it wasn’t considered offensive
@@techpolitics she literally said she felt this way now. She clearly said it was absurd and isn’t the purpose of halloween to dress up as something you are not…. 🤷🏽♀️ she did mention blackface as a child but then said she didn’t know how something is racist when when the lady darkened her skin to look like diana ross🤦🏽♀️
4:04 for the comment. You’re welcome.
She got fired more for 5:28 However.
Thanks so much
Thx
thats it???? wtf is this world coming to.
_“If she really wanted to look like Diana Ross, she should of dressed as Michael Jackson”_ and the crowd erupts. *Someone PLEASE explain the joke* wtf @5:42
Yes someone explain to us!!!
Back in the day MJ had an infatuation with Diana Ross, so much so that when he started changing his appearances around the _Bad_ era due to his vitiligo, media was saying that he wanted to look like Elizabeth Taylor or Diana Ross (both his idols). I read somewhere that Diddy said that MJ told him Diana Ross gave him the goods. RIP MJ.
Oh, back in the day when I was a kid people would joke that Michael and Diana were the same person. Later it was Janet, and Letoya.
that way she shouldn't have to darken the skin? 🤷🏻♀️
David Richardson WoW and you actually have an answer ....sick
This whole segment was just a mess😂
It’s true though, people are cry babies and it should be fine to be a cowboy, Pirate, soldier etc.
THIS is what people threw a fit over? My generation is so sensitive.
snowflakes
@@cdatcf1 that term is over used snowflake
Dude she always rude! You like only her face!
th-cam.com/video/Ca4xBrmWUJc/w-d-xo.html
L Sure, but I think it’s okay to have strong morals and beliefs.
Every day people are dying of starvation and violence around the world but yet this is the NEWS!
Just wack
Preach!
Tell that to Evangelicals! When was the last time they went down to the border to help the migrant children? I think about 0% of the time.
She was fired for this? Give me a break.
That is exactly what happened...PC is destroying the ability of anybody speaking freely. she was not trying to offend or make fun of slavery when she said what she said
it's a shame and whoever got "offended" by those comments....get over yourselves!!!
William Elliott she sure got one. Also she didn’t need this show anyways. Her one job is to not be or reinforce racism. And she can’t even do that right.
btw, I doubt ppl were offended, just a little confused, when she was a kid that was ok? No it wasn’t ok, you just didn’t/don’t care.
@@yvesjeanpttrsn8387 I'm 67 and YES it WAS!! Does anyone know Al Jolson?
@@cherylschulthies9980 The world's greatest entertainer. What's he have to do with anything?
Cheryl Schulthies lolol
I cannot believe they fired Megyn Kelly for this, after she apologized.
Bollywood Media I think this was just an excuse to fire her
Why did Whoppi Goldberg adamantly defend Ted Danson in 1993 after he not only wore black face but repeatedly used the “N” word? Granted they were lovers at that time but still.......that made it OK?
Anything’s ok when you’re bangin.
We need to separate "offensive" actions from "racist" actions. Actions can be offensive to some people and inoffensive to others. Their offensiveness is completely up to the interpretation of others. What offends one person may not offend another. Racism is different. Instead of being up to the interpretation of others, racist actions are purely about the intentions of the person making those actions. Racism is defined as a belief in the inferiority of a race, or a hatred or prejudice towards a race. A racist action is an action that originates with this racial bias. It's not up to how others perceive an action, but rather what motivated those actions. Taking the example of blackface given in this video, it's perfectly possible to use blackface for either racist or non-racist reasons. If the wearer intends to insult black people, then it's racist. If the wearer simply intends to emulate a role model she looks up to, then it's not racist. Whether this is offensive is a completely different question, and it will vary from one witness to the next. In the end, it's wise to consider how our actions will be perceived by others so that we don't offend people unnecessarily. But when we are offended, we should also try to weigh the intentions of the person who has offended us. Often we'll discover that the intentions were not bad, and this can serve to lessen our feeling of offense. The world is a better place when we try to understand each other.
Do you know what a minstrel show is?
Very eloquent and perfectly put! I agree!
Ditto! I couldn't have said it better!
Is trying to make your appearance as close as possible to a celebrity that you admire the same thing as painting your face with the intention of demeaning an entire group of people?
No, you just want to appropriate, and let the racism slide
I cannot comment on this video because I might offend someone.
That comment really offended me! Lol!
Not making a comment really offends me.
Zach Mandell. You just offended me ...by not trying to offend anyone. LOL. !
Zach Mandell ur funny! That’s perfect!! Lol yep I have no clue what she did!
Good!
Okay, so you'll ax Megyn Kelly for her remarks about blackface, but you'll keep the video up on TH-cam. Really?
you think it should be censored from history or something?
so people dont make presumptions to what she said...despite the video, people still dont think it matter....
I was thinking the exact same thing. They'll can her for saying something, but keep the video on TH-cam to collect the ad revenue. Hypocrites. Pick a side, Today show.
This is the hypocritcy of society today.
@@jtrover Its media brainwashing. Their sick!
I just think this whole "Halloween" stuff is just absurd... Anyone else think the same?
This? This is what the uproar is about? When I heard about this I thought whoa, she must have said something horrible. I kept waiting for it. Now, I don't watch these types of shows and I don't care about them. But it's a talk show where, God forbid, people have an exchange of opinions.
The worst part is that she is asking a question,. If she had said that it's not racist to paint your face black if it's dressing up for a character, then it still wouldn't be racist, because dressing up as a character is not racist.
So what I'm hearing is now I can't dress as any other culture because if I do I'm racist? Are you flipping kidding me? Get over your ultra sensitivity. If I dress up then it's because I LIKE the character. I've wanted to be a gaysha for many years because I love it!! Am I not aloud to now? I can't handle this mess we live in.
@@adriennerecord281 People have gone out as Kings Queens and Audrey Hepburn. Offensive there????
You don't get it because your not the target of the comments. No, I don't think Megyn should be fired. But her pay is way too high and she does often say somewhat flagrant comments. I say she should have been demoted in pay in her next contract but not fired. She didn't mean harm. Roseanne on the other hand meant to inflict pain and she deserved to be fired 100%.
Same here. I cannot believe this world.
How tf are you gonna defend an Anne Frank costume?
Anne Frank was a hero to many, what is wrong with that?
HypeHuey If you’re talking about the picture @3.49, I saw that more as wartime evacuee. During WWII, many children were evacuated from London and other big cities to the countryside when the Blitz started, and that young girl was even carrying her regulation gas mask and wearing a name tag attached to her coat.
have to say, i would think think the Ann Frank thing would be much more of an issue than dressing as a specific black character.
Like isnt it kind of disrespectful for Halloween considering how it is celebrated...
HypeHuey There is nothing with dressing up as Anne Frank as long as you're doing it for the right reason. She is an inspiring heroine to many. Stop twisting it making it sound anti semitic.
Well, I don't see any Anne Frank in that. I know we dutch are sophisticated fashion lovers, but Anne Frank did not wear this kind of outfits.
So NBC, when are you going to fire Jimmy Fallon and Loren Michaels and cancel SNL for actually wearing Black face and writing it in to the show. Wheres Al Rokers emotional rebuke of Jimmy Fallon?.... NBC owes Kelly a apology.
Kelly gets fired and career ruined , but Oprah can say all white people have white privilege and that's ok isn't that the same as the pot calling the kettle black?
I needed to look this up because there was outrage. What did she say that was wrong? Wtf is wrong with this world
That's what I'm sayin! 😅
I don't think she was being racist. She was talking about HALLOWEEN!
WHATS WRONG WITH UR BLACK FACE??? LOL
This is the same woman who said Jesus was White.
yea and now Halloween is ruined soon Thanksgiving re Indians and Christmas re Jews LOL
prince harry did and everybody loves him for some reason, not that Icars.
If you don't understand how & why that's deeply offensive then U condone what she said because your obviously a racist as well.
So that was it, huh? That was the nail in the coffin? Seems like they (whoever's in charge) were looking for a reason to get rid of Megyn Kelly. I thought Melissa Rivers was more offensive!
I agree, although... the network is not paying Melissa Rivers $21 million dollars a year!!! Lol
@Maryann Torres Right, Melissa said what could be considered a racist statement.
Oh yeah. The Diana Ross and Michael Jackson thing she said was way more offensive.
R Vandenburg I agree with you. I found Melissa Rivers more rude and offensive than Megyn. People have really become so sensitive.
R Vandenburg And if we're going to be offended by what's being said, what about what we're being shown? Shouldn't the production team be criticized for flashing up models who are wearing these costumes? The imagery, the mock-ups, of each offensive costume should axe the producers responsible for those, as well.
That Michael joke was not even funny he had a skin condition
Mimi Sam vitiligo
That joke about michael is about a time when michael admired diana ross and there was a rumor in the 90s that michael had a plastic surgery to look like diana ross...its not about his skin color 😉
He bleached his skin...
It wasn't a skin condition he bleached his skin
Mimi Sam Michael Myers or Michael Jackson cause their faces are both bleach white
5:50 “we’re in trouble here” “we’re already in the deep end just follow me” 😂😂 The other White people was tryna save her like Megyn u trippin 😯
Omar Russell 💀💀💀
She's not trippin she actually states some truth...
@YourNatureBoy27 the do wasn't necessary.
i can't wear a mustache or sombrero even though i'm mexican :c i'm sad now
Truly, they needed a person of color on this panel. Like...don't talk about how "ridiculous" or "sensitive" the other side is being without having representation from the other side. This was a totally biased panel. I'm not saying that anyone said anything overtly offensive, but I am saying that this conversation would have been more enriched and had more journalistic integrity if a different perspective had been offered.
agreed
How do you know that a person of a different skin color must have a different perspective and different intellectual value? That's racist! YOU are a racist!
Wen B. That doesn't make it not racist! Yes, it's true that you can't know exactly what it's like to be black if you're white, but you can't necessitate that for her to have any validity in what she says she must be accompanied and approved by a person of a certain race only by virtue of their race because that would be RACISM!
Yes. It was just in really bad taste. I can't believe no one thought of that before hand.
To the guy screaming that's racist, I know you think you have gotten the other commentor in some intellectual checkmate, but you really just sound stupid amd clearly do not understand what constitutes a racist or culturally insensitive thought. For a white person to determine whether or not a person of color should or shouldn't be offended is actually racist. It just reflects back to a time when a black person opinion was absolutely irrelevant and were forced to espouse what they were told to. What you are saying is the opposite of racist and no amount of wilful ignorance on your behalf will change that.
Megyn Kelly wanted to play SJW and got bit but the other SJWs. My black friends never get offended by what I say although I never pretended to be a SJW and then defend Black Face. Just wait though Chris Cumo is playing the same game that Megyn Kelly is play and I'm sure he'll end up in a similar situation. Too many times have I seen Chris Cumo tell black people they weren't standing up for their cause which in my opinion is worse then saying something isn't offensive.
My dog got super offended when I dressed up as a puppy, till this day he still lives with my mom. I was only six.
Smh.
Was your dog's people racially oppressed and enslaved by your people for hundreds of years?
Was your dog's physical characteristics the butt of your people's racist jokes?
Also comparing human beings to dogs? Tasteful!
😡🤬😤🤯ALL of them should have been fired 🧐be because not one of them even cringed or seemed even a tad bit uncomfortable🤨 when Megyn’s ignorant self said what she said!! 🤬🤯😤
Blackface isnt ok because its dressing up as a caricature of a black person, it's stereotyping. Dressing up as an actual famous or infamous person is NOT blackface. ALTHOUGH, Robert Downey Jr. was in Blackface in Tropic Thunder and it was hilarious.
Dollqueen Anise he was definitely black face and it was great! I loved it! Need to see more positivity like that instead of pushing people back it’s a way to control emotions & make blacks or others feel less
@jmarks881 Here is an example, I dress up as Clubber Lang for Halloween, I'm white, wouldn't do a very good job of pulling off the costume being white, not offensive. A black person wants to be Rocky, also wouldnt do a very good job of pulling it off, not offensive. Now, lets say i put on dark makeup for Halloween and im asked who i am dressed up as and i reply " My Neighbor ", That is blackface and that is offensive. If you (not YOU personally) can't articulate yourself well enough in day to day life without mentioning race or color, no matter the race or color, there is an issue. This goes for everyone, not just White people. We all breathe oxygen, we all bleed red, we're all human.
Robert Downey wasnt blackface. He was trying to look like a black person. The coloring wasn't black with white. It was brownish skin color. That being said in the movie 'white chicks' that was fair game? Either way in todays world you have to walk on egg shells or feel the wrath of the people.
I’m going to talk about dressing up in black face with an all white panel... you clearly didn’t want to hear what a more diverse crowd had to say.
Facts. This comment should be at the top with 1million likes.
Have you watched b.e.t. or the movie white chicks?
The topic of the segment was dressing up for Holloween.
@@sharonereed81 did you watch the video? They were talking about why races got offended over costumes. Race was brought up. And as she stated...maybe she should have asked her diverse audience what they thought.
@@DanValdesMusic white pple didnt have to go through whiteface and get tormented over their skin color in the old days.
She was fired for that ?? that’s insane
I’m not a right winger, and I get where she is coming from.
Good for her
Where is she coming from? Can you elaborate?
Our nation will always remain hateful and divided. Far too many people are constantly looking for something to be offended about. The people judging others have NEVER made a mistake. Apologies don’t count to them either. Next will be breathing that offends people. Do you then stop breathing? No! I say breathe louder! Start living. Start forgiving. If you keep looking for the things that offend you, you’re going to miss the things that were there to make you smile.
Babytots u stupid open a history book about the USA
It was all about The Anne Frank and Nazi costumes. They just wanted to use black face as an excuse.
@@MellowLady222 Yes, they sold the slaves from Africa, but AARON LOPEZ, MOSES LEVY, JOHN ABRAMS, and JACOB FRANKS, among others, were among the most prominent slave traders in the New World. The Slave Trade was based in NEWPORT, R. I., which is the city where the FIRST SYNAGOGUE IN AMERICA was built.
Also, slave markets were closed on SATURDAY, the JEWISH day of worship, NOT SUNDAY.
funny how all three of them realize what she just said and suddenly decide to slide away from the topic, playing the "i don't know. i haven't seen it" card. lol
At first I thought what she said was NOT reason to get fired but listening to it again I changed my mind. Everything she said before that statement was leading up to discuss the blackface and that was what she was most concern about discussing. Blackface is and has always been an insult to the Black community and she knows that.
Black Face does not equate to dressing like a black person. Dressing like a black person is to use realistic skin tone and not make from of the race. Megyn Kelly used the wrong term to demonstrate her point.
She was fired for THAT? Seriously? Pretty soon we won't be able to say anything anymore. Sad.
Black face is the limit. There’s history to it
Try saying the same thing to Rachel Dolezal.
Thats the only thing i would say is offensive to me.
Everything has history to it.
So black face as is tar black car paint with googly eyes and overdrawn lips or black face as in a tan and wig??? Last I checked tan and wig is black face.
RecoveringChristian black face is black face
Melissa’s late mom would say anything and get away with it as humour!
Megan the only offensive comment you made to these Morons of NBC is being was speaking
With articulation, smarts and being poise , beautiful and professional.
My TV went out the door eight years ago, I'm still not having second thoughts.
lesser of the evils
@@user-gm3bk8od8c NICE!!! It sure is!! Best to be on the lookout ---
How can you even have this discussion with no diversity at all on the panel.
Markes Blackwell your right, maybe that is the issue. A comment can be fun or insulting depending on context.
Markes Blackwell You’re being funny, right?
Theres plenty of diversity on the panel. Theres a White guy and a White lady and another white lady and another white lady. All the colors of the rainbow!
Absolutely agreed.
Although, I think they have a fish up there.
This is the first time I ever saw this, and man, talk about a nothingburger.
im here after watching BOMBSHELL...i dont see the offense
I love you Megyn Kelly and honestly I was NOT offended by her comments as a Black person. For sure, the disgraceful history of Blackface is appalling. What I saw here was an honest person, asking a question and trying to have a conversation. That is what I want to see more of. People should be free to honestly ask and question. And obviously, she probably did not know the history. Why attack someone? She is smart, beautiful, and talented. I admire her so much. Very few people are honest and open, tell it like it is and not be politically correct. Mercy. Where is the grace? We ALL need grace. Much love and God's blessings!
And this the sad part. Wish u the best but u sont deserve to be called black no more.
But her tone wasn't sincerely genuine and humble. It was judgemental and indignant. Her message was, "stop being so sensitive and let me do/ say/ wear whatever I want." She doesn't want to not be offensive, she just wants everyone to not feel offended by her offenses. In fact she shut Melissa down when she was about to get a lesson in human decency, respect and consideration.
Shutup
great well written response that echos some of my own feelings.
Halie83 she is a near 50-year-old American journalist who makes millions of dollars for her skill set and we’re excusing her for acting as though she doesn’t understand why blackface and antisemetism are offensive? You said she was intelligent. Apparently she’s not. The average person knows that. And if he/she didn’t, that might be excusable depending on the tone. Hers was an indignant tone. She wasn’t really asking why these were offensive; she was annoyed that she’s being asked not to offend.
This is crazy the ladies on The Talk are more offensive
I watched The Talk everyday... when I was in the hospital.
Sharon Osbourne is offensive period
The view is offensive EVERYDAY!!!!TO TONS OF PEOPLE, AND THEY DO NOTHING!!!
@@timothyfoster3605 well shes BRITISH!
stardustgirl how it offensive ?
I’ve never seen a black person wear white face ... but carry on ma’am lol I don’t think it called for her losing her job but it was an ignorant comment .
And the Michael Jackson joke made no sense lol
Quanyae J Are you one of those people who say you can’t be racist towards white people?
The movie White Chicks... Think Dave chappelle had a skit...
"I’ve never seen a black person wear white face" - White Chicks (2004). Want to try again though?
Oh But You See Those White People Had Nothing To Lose And The Black People Back Then Had No Voice And No Choice But To Assimilate And Confirm. Then & Now White Privilege.
Quanyae J - Michael Jackson didn't wear a white face? Lmao
Kelly: “....Ann Frank dresses with the ‘Diary’”
Grimy...
I see nothing wrong with her comments?! And I don't understand why she took the bait and apologized? She was admitting guilt when all she was really doing was expressing "opinion" more Snowflake's melt and cry foul! Such BS!
Lol the problem was not the comments. Her show sucked the ratings were horrible. NBC was ready to make this move
I am what you would consider under your opinion apparently a snowflake and I don't think she should have gotten fired. I think this was one small nothing that was the last straw for her poor ratings and other things like that
Bye. Black face was never okay.
@@traciweston5829 you'll have to forgive me. I had no idea honestly.
You get in trouble if you are white put on a Black face and black if you put on a white face. Where's the racists comment
I’m Mexican and I’m not offended by the Mexican costume 🤷🏻♀️
karlagb it’s not about the costume..it’s the color of the skin.
Apparently it is also about the costume. It was said at the beginning of video all the costumes that are not appropriate, Mexican being included.
My girlfriend is Mexican and she was Pancho Villa one year
@@Curtis006 lol
No but the Blacks are.
I have no idea what was so offensive about this episode. The discussion was about Halloween costumes, and how some people are trying to "police" what you can wear and what you cannot wear. I think NBC must have been looking for an excuse to fire her due to "other reasons".
NBC wants to act like the hi moral Network ? It’s the same company that employs Al Sharpton plus promoted Sharpton
She said wearing blackface is OK on Halloween...simple...not OK
"Back when I was a kid, that was OK..." 4:12
Why would they hire her in the first place then
Look I'm a black woman and for Halloween one year I dressed up like Marilyn Monroe, BUT I didn't go and paint my face white to pull it off. It's like come on now, there is that thing called common sense and from what I've learned about this woman, she just doesn't have that common sense.
look at the movie white chicks
apparently that's fine
the show got canceled because of her political views (and because she's white)
there's a reason the view is still going on after goldberg made comments on the holocaust
@@MickeyMouse-lm6zj That movies always makes me laugh. I'm white. Lol
what is wrong with making yourself look like someone else, thought that was the point of costumes
@@Breeannful, it would be bad taste seeing they are a hate group
There's nothing wrong with dressing up as somebody else, but if that's dressing up as a native American say, because they're a marginalised and ostracized group that have been repressed by colonised Americans, it's presented as mocking them. Same goes for a lot of Halloween costumes. Dressing as a vampire or werewolf is fine because it's fantasy, but dressing as a representative of a person or a suppressed group of people is just offensive.
@@libbyc4302, do you link dressing a 5 year old as Mr T with the colonisation of america and mocking black people?
Dude black people are not costumes. We are people not costumes
I think it had more to do with blackface
There all so dry like who watches this 💀
a masterclass on how to get fired in 11 min
NBC: Sad it is over . This is when your show was just starting to get good.
She got fired for that? Really im a black guy come on
yes, let's ask a bunch of white people what is or isn't offensive
Ahh, the video that ended Megyn Kelly’s career
Dude ... no black person in the audience got up and walked away... I was not offended either.. people need to chill tf out... 😒
You can dress and look like Diana Ross with no need to paint your face black.
Huh? How? Hahaha you people are psychotic
Lame discussion.
Yes, and I hope Megyn's saying FU to NBC. Crazy to fire her for this.
I don't agree with what she's saying at all about the blackface but I agree with you on that she shouldn't have been fired.
Considering that the producers have to approve pretty much everything they say, they clearly only fired her because she was the one people were made at
All she said is... "What is racist? Like when a white person puts on black face for Halloween or when a black person puts on white face for Halloween? When I was a kid , that was OK as long as we dressing up as a character". I don't see anything wrong with what she said? She used the example both ways, not just talking about a white person dressing up as a black person but as a black person dressing up as a white person. I AM NOT OFFENDED AND NEITHER SHOULD ANYONE ELSE BE!!! I can't believe she lost her job over this?!?! I see others are commenting about how their should have been a black person on the panel to help offer a different view in this topic, I understand that but even if there would have been one black person or even two , they wouldn't speak for the entire race of African Americans! Like I said she used that term both ways, and I as a white person am NOT offended! But I don't speak for my entire race either!
Megyn Kelly’s personality is stale. She is the worst host. The network wasted its money hiring her.
Facts!!!!
She was good as a newsreader but that’s all
she is totally wates of time!!!
Surprise!! she's been cancelled today!!
I can’t believe nbc hired Megyn Kelly and fired Tamron Hall. Big mistake, huge.
For the past couple of months Megyn Kelly has been returning to her laughable Fox News roots.
agreed
She never left...
agreed, but she has turned it back up a notch.
I've noticed this too...
@@KyleAlbanese Kyle you look like a snowflake
This is a prime example of why diversity is so important. These people are so far removed from people of color and different cultures they have no clue. And no one said a word.
OMG I thought Melissa Rivers was Judge Jeannine Pirro before she was introduced! And that woman to the right of the host in the back with the bun is in the audience in almost every Wendy Williams episode. So much craziness already and I'm not even past the 30 second mark. lol
Looks like you don’t have to wake up early anymore Megyn
Umm I am still waiting for the racist remark that got her fired!
If you have to wait for it....then that's on you...
Lol if you can't hear it then you're just not black
Pedro Gunderson she never talked about people painting their face white
Pedro Gunderson "blacks never get anywhere " yet the United States president was a black man lol
Ashiq Bashar it begins at 4:00. Her saying admitting when she was growing up painting your face black wasn’t nothing wrong, did it. Then to top it off she’s old enough to know better than that. U can’t be in showbiz on tv & not know about the racism of painted faces. Something that was awfully done to denigrate black people.
You can feel the negative energy slowly erupting.
I’m African American Ion see what She do Wrong🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🧐🤨
Please get grammarly
Huh???
Do some research on blackface
Coming from the same woman who had a problem with non whites dressing as Jesus and Santa because according to her they're white, even though Jesus was a middle Eastern Jew who was brown and Santa was of Turkish origin
Matt Sherv “And there’s Jesus. He’s a tiny little brown Arab jew.”
Aaaaaaand it doesn’t matter.
Jerome Bullard Your life doesn’t matter
Direstar black lives haven’t mattered since the invention of the mechanical harvester.
Middle Eastern Jew Jacob Soboroff doesn't look brown to me!
So doesn't Harvey Weinstein!
you got men dressing as woman everyday and your told it is normal so whats the deal???????
Because it isn't offensive on a normal level.
I can’t believe they fired her for that!! Glad she got her money
This is the kind of mind set that needs to be changed. It's amazing to me that a woman of her stature could be so ignorant of this belief that blackface should not be offensive. For a person making $69 Million for the show, you'd think they'd have an inch of cultural awareness or consideration, but that behavior and mindset, I would expect much from some entitled pig in the entertainment industry. But this is a highly paid news woman we're talking about. It's obvious she hasn't done her homework about the history of blackface. Maybe this was plot to get herself removed from the network, or for what it shows, Sheer Ignorance. Ma'am have some respect for the ones who are still facing racism everyday and struggle for just being themselves. Not just black, but all shades. We'll pray for you. Sending you love and light.
I think some people over reacting to the comments and making it more than it really is about Halloween costumes.
I'm sorry that your show got cancelled. I'm not a huge fan of yours but I will say that you are getting screwed and treated very unfair! I would fight back girl! I watched this segment over and over and saw nothing offensive at all. People are just out to cause drama!
It was her tweets that got her in trouble. Also her ignorance around the subject.
@@zxb5998 I didn't see her tweets...
You would have no reason to be offended anyways, you aren’t black so hush
Zerius B what did her tweets say
Why would you find offense 😂😂😂- Sorry- But I’m confused- Are you black? This is the SAME WOMAN that got offended at a BLACK Santa clause and he’s a FICTIONAL character. She got mad about Jesus being portrayed as anything other than WHITE. Called it OFFENSIVE! She shouldn’t have gotten a show in the first place-
What's affensive about any of that. My God what wrong with anything there... everyone's laughing ????
Only Robert Downey jr. In the movie Tropic Thunder can pull it off.
It’s 2018 where you can’t say or do anything without offending someone 🙄
It's all about having tact. If you deliberately say something you know is F'd up, hey you may be dealt something hella bad.
Thats like being mean just because you can.. then getting mad when someone calls you mean
I agree, we're way too sensitive!
This isn't a "PC" thing...nothing to do with that! That's a racist thing... Its inexcusable...blackface was never a good thing... And meghan should know better... Again not about being "PC"... it's common sense...
@Joe Bien Sad but true.
Personally, I will probably not watch Today anymore. I liked the Megyn Kelly's hour and looked
forward to it every day. I think they were just waiting for an excuse to get rid of her. I can't imagine
losing my job over that.
Hi Donna hope you’re okay?
They fired her for this???
Jesus, thats absolutely despicable!
fired over this? there must be more to it
Stan Knapp heard of jum crowe? This is truly ignorant
SammyBaffaMakeup her comment was NOTHING close to Jim Crowe! YOU are IGNORANT
Stan Knapp exactly
