NBC Ends Megyn Kelly’s ‘TODAY’ Show Run

[@revaball5954]

Actually what she said was not racist!

[@joe19822222]

Megyn Kelly is awful but seriously this was simply an excuse for NBC to fire her from the Today show because of her show's low ratings. These comments she made weren't the worst thing she's ever said or even "racist". These comments may have been politically incorrect and not a "proper" thing to say in public but certainly not a fireable offense. NBC sucks and always has! Kelly's salary was outrageously high and NBC should have given Kelly an opportunity to discuss her comments further as a learning experience.

[@charleshenderson4566]

The others could mention "Nazi" and "Anne Frank" and they weren't "insensitive" and yet Kelly's simple comments were just amplifies the idea that to mention anything about races (good or bad) in our nation comes out of people trying to get someone fired just so the "race card" can be played.

[@julysdejesus3824]

I am a dark skin hispanic woman and to be honest i really didn't feel offended because she mentioned both races white and black, she did not specify only one. I think she should be educated about that comment, give an apology and move on. I don't like her at all because she is too tough, but i dont think that incident was that bad to fired her. Maybe i am wrong but i think everybody deserves a second opportunity. Even though she has a second opportunity on Fox with Santa and Jesus. But apparently NBC don't play that. 😣

[@burninbob1]

Since Megyan was FIRED I have heard quite a few news people talking about 'blackface' so I definitely think her firing was a disgrace on the part of NBC EXECUTIVES! I sure am dying to know what she is doing now as she has so much talent and is a great speaker and a GREAT SENCE OF HUMOR! Does anyone know what she is doing now--writing a follow up book OR JUST WHAT?? I HAVE HEARD NOTHING ABOUT HER SINCE SHE LEFT NBC!!!

[@steverigney7017]

[@taltalim18]

Lloyd Johnson Most likely more about her poor ratings. But the history of ‘Blackface’ in American society is very ugly & painful. So it is worth learning about it first before saying its nothing.

[@lldavidbanks8701]

You obviously don't know history, oh, i forgot- they changed the books so it wouldn't reflect how bad people of color was treated, and you wouldn't care about it one way or another anyway, do some research before you start spouting off, it's "highly offensive" to people of color to be portrayed in such a degrading and negative light, and it's totally untrue that we acted like they're portraying us, if it wasn't for "people of color" you wouldn't have a lot of things that you enjoy now, whether they're black, Chinese, Spanish, Native American, or any other colors in the spectrum, we've donated to this country, and for you to think that you're "superior" to anyone else is just ludacris, everyone is "American" and you can't change that, so get over yourself, and check your attitude.

Stfu you fucking baby. Yes as a professional journalist and host you're supposed to understand blackface is racist. What a fucking high bar of intellectual expectation. Stick to anime and making playlists of your favorite subwoofers - clearly you need to keep the fuck away from comment sections on politics or do you enjoy exposing people to the stupidity that exists between your ears?

[@kreed82]

Are u dense? Nbc dont care about her blackface comments it is just being used as an excuse. Truth of the matter is her ratings were soft and she was costly. Her metoo comments against nbc and matt lauer were the real lynchpin behind this..

[@BlueEyesBrittany]

It is simply outrageous ... she did not say anything wrong .... this is outrageous ..; and frankly it is time to reinstate a true and fair balance in the way justice and many other thins are dealt with .... like why should an individual be labelled a racist for filing a claim for a prejudice or serious harm or even a crime simply because she is of caucasian origin and the harming party is not .... and we are getting plenty of this and that is really the most outrageous scandal there is

[@tiddymmari5785]

What made Megan famous was the TRUMP Question on how he named women he did not like, from there the way she asked questions and try on eliminating fuss on her interviewee answers at time she was in Fox News during election campaigns.She did not take bullshit for answers and tried to get to the bottom of things. I loved watching Megan then.

[@Cytron1515]

I'm gonna miss her show. As a black man myself I wasn't really offended by anything she said.

[@svandervelde4210]

Who ultimately is responsible for the content of the segment and the dialogue if the script for the segment? It almost seems like they set her up, knowing she might ultimately shoot herself in the foot. I do not condone what she said whatsoever. The subject for the segment shouldn't of even been agreed to.

[@KeevayMusic]

The Plague of Politically Correct Fascism “I had a good friend, a sweet elderly gentleman who was unabashedly gay, and he passed away several years ago. He used to denounce gay marriage in the most vicious manner and, so one day, I asked him what inspired such strong sentiments. He responded, “Honey, I can’t stand religions since most seem to have issues with those of my kind...and I can not fathom why any gay person would embrace any institution such as marriage that is a religious sacrament. In doing so, they only succeed in offending the religious majority and creating even more hatred against my kind. It just makes no sense!” Today, my gay friend would be unable to voice openly such a contrarian opinion since, within a society under thrall of politically correct fascists, aka, neo-McCarthyites, such a sentiment would be deemed to be a “hate crime.” Until the politically correct fascists are removed from their positions of power in our society, particularly within the academe and Big Media, then the suppression of free speech will continue and everybody will be compelled to walk upon eggshells, no matter what their race, religion, or sexual preference.” ____________________ Catman Cohen, 2017

I am from Algeria, I just had this conversation with people of different races at work. None of them thought dressing-up in another race/color/ethnicity is racist. We don't care. It is not disrespect. There are too many sensitivities in The States. So sad. Be one and expect the best of each other, meaning that if someone is dressing-up in your race it is not to make fun of you but to just dress-up for halloween and have a good time. Man, it could even be a bonding time between you and your friends from other races. Halloween is to step out of routine and enjoy time with friends.

[@davidval7188]

She is not a warm and fuzzy person.

You are all wrong. She was telling the truth without hatred or a racist motive. No liberty. I love the black community and I in no way see different colors as inferior.

A few weeks before her firing, Megyn Kelley had the nerve to explain how she couldn't get over other people's facial flaws, and that she felt compelled to bring their own face or body flaws immediately up to them, just so she could get over it enough to carry on speaking to them, and even defended such a position. When she said THAT on her show, I felt like asking her "Megyn, so that little inside voice that always ignorant, racist and demeaning, is also narcissistic too!? Petty WASP, enjoy your firing, but DON'T ever think you didn't deserve it!

[@momma_d2359]

So I find it so Rediculous that Mr. Rocker said she owes an apology to black people. Not saying she doesn't. However, didn't she say black people wearing whiteface and white people wearing blackface? So shouldnt she apologize to both sides????? Quit separating the issues. I am not a Megan fan..... but this is a sad cover for them to use She asked a question. That's it. A discussion that people like whoopi and joy get to discuss and justify every damn day. P.s.......btw, yes I know black people (friends) that have been white for Halloween. Don't be stupid.

From WIKIPEDIA, the biography of AL JOLSON, the most popular blackface performer in the USA who has been unjustly demonized by the black supremacists of the nation: Jolson's legacy as the most popular performer of blackface routines was complemented by his relationships with African-Americans and his appreciation and use of African-American cultural trends.[12] Jolson first heard jazz, blues, and ragtime in the alleys of New Orleans, Louisiana. He enjoyed singing the new jazz-style of music, often performing in blackface, especially in the songs he made popular, such as "Swanee", "My Mammy", and "Rock-A-Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody". As a Jewish immigrant and America's most famous and highest-paid entertainer, he may have had the incentive and resources to help break down racial attitudes. For instance, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) during its peak in the early 1920s, was estimated to include about 15% of the nation's eligible voting population, 4-5 million men, though probably much smaller.[41] While The Birth of a Nation glorified white supremacy and the KKK, Jolson chose to star in The Jazz Singer, which defied racial bigotry by introducing American black music to audiences worldwide.[15] While growing up, Jolson had many black friends, including Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, who became a prominent tap dancer.[23] As early as 1911, at the age of 25, Jolson was noted for fighting discrimination on Broadway and later in his movies:[42] "at a time when black people were banned from starring on the Broadway stage",[43] he promoted the play by black playwright Garland Anderson,[44] which became the first production with an all-black cast produced on Broadway; he brought an all-black dance team from San Francisco that he tried to feature in his Broadway show;[42] he demanded equal treatment for Cab Calloway, with whom he performed a number of duets in his movie The Singing Kid; he was "the only white man allowed into an all black nightclub in Harlem".[42] Al Jolson once read in the newspaper that songwriters Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle, neither of whom he had ever heard of, were refused service at a Connecticut restaurant because of their race. He immediately tracked them down and took them out to dinner, "insisting he'd punch anyone in the nose who tried to kick us out!"[12] According to biographer Al Rose, Jolson and Blake became friends. British performer Brian Conley, former star of the 1995 British play Jolson , stated during an interview, "I found out Jolson was actually a hero to the black people of America. At his funeral, black actors lined the way, they really appreciated what he'd done for them."[49] Noble Sissle, who was president of the Negro Actors Guild , represented that organization at his funeral.[50]
