Is that what the black people told her back then....or was that her families assumption? She is from Bethlehem, NY, which is about 2% black today. Maybe there just was not any blacks around when they wore black face to take offense. So what she was basically saying is that white people found black face ok when she was a kid.
Read the link in post 430. Blackface has NEVER been okay, not in Megyn's hometown or anywhere.
Blackface has only become dehumanizing as of recently due to years of understand what Blackface was. I never knew of Blackface until recently when Pro-Black groups talking about such caricature on Social Media. Black Face has only become offensive due to the age of Social Justice and Feminism that we are currently going through. Black Face would have not been an issue 10 years ago.

I'm not pulling stuff out of hot air. If this was 10 years ago. Would have Megyn Kelly been fired for her statement? No. Why? Stuff back then that were not offensive, are offensive now. It is what it is. Blackface was always offensive, but for the majority of people, blackface was just another thing. Now we live in the age of Social Justice of Feminism. People are afraid of Social Justice and Feminist who can become extremely outrage and harm the crap out of a business. Also, I'm not attacking Social Justice or Feminism, Social Justice is actually a good thing, however those that be take things literally to the extreme and ruin society for everyone due to protecting groups, or giving groups representation who really don't want protection or representation. You should go read 7 Tribes of America. 75% of all Blacks in America disagree with Political Correctness, and they say it has gone too far. 80% of Americans are against political correctness. The 20% that support political correctness are Social Justice Warriors, Pro Black Groups, Feminists and to a lesser degree even white nationalist.

Blackface was always offensive. However, as time has progressed, more people have called it out.
All caricaturing could be considered "dehumanizing" for whatever purpose. At the end of the day you can take anything anyway you want, but that doesn't necessarily mean anyone else has to agree or do what you want them to do or not do. It's none of your business what caricatures someone else wants to create.
It is my business if the point of said caricature is to demean and dehumanize an entire ethnicity. I'm not "taking" anything from it. I am looking at this from a fact perspective. Disagreeing with me doesn't change the facts about blackface. It does not change that it is very racist.
I guess NBC is about to fire Jimmy Fallon for actually wearing blackface on air?
