defending blackface. wow. how about the three teens who have now been kicked out of the Army because two were dressed as Klansmen and the third was in blackface? that's fine as well. 

probably glitched.

Those teens should have been kicked out. you see, I am of the opinion that you take things how they are meant. If it's meant to be an insult, then be offended, if it's simple ignorance, or it's meant as admiration, then it's no big deal. Theatrical makeup is supposed to be different than blackface...  And here in that Designing women episode at 14:05, you see Anthony express that exact sentiment.

Not all of us take all our life's ethos from ancient sitcoms.

Of course not!!!  The whole point of the discussion is the attitudes of the 70's and 80's in regards to this issue. That was the whole reason Megyn Kelly got fired.  It was exactly what she was discussing.

Blackface was not acceptable in the 70s and 80s.

Pretty much all of this sounds much like the same reasons that feminists in the early 70's were greatly offended by drag queens, because they felt they were mocking women.  Y'all make sure not to go see Shirley Q Liquor perform. You'll hate her.

So you're not able to dispute anything we've said. Got it.

the latest...

none of her former staff have heard a word from her since they were all fired, even as she fights to get $40 million from NBC to leave. she's a real POS.

Despicable, but not surprising.

 

To be perfect and frank, though, I wouldn't want to hear again from a now-former boss who cost us all our jobs with her thoughtless, racist rhetoric.  And I certainly wouldn't want to work with her again either.

I thought the clips were dispute enough... here's another one. You said it was not acceptable in the 70's and 80's, so then why was the "theatrical blackface" put on network TV all the time. Here's another instance from 1979. At 3:17. I find most making comment on this board about the issue weren't even ALIVE in the 70's.

I think people would if she were offering them  a little guilt severance. 

Unsurprisingly, ratings have improved since the trash was taken out.

Lol at ratings springing back to life. 

 

Andrew Lack’s like, “Nothing to see here. That mess before? Water under the bridge.”

Speaking of Andrew Lack:

 

 

 

And what did Kelly achieve besides losing ratings for the network and alienating people?

How does some go from getting fired for racist remarks and still get a 30 million exit package

 

How about go home your done bye
