Honestly I don't know why the execs at NBC didn't foresee it happening. They knew what kind of person she was, and they still offered her an $18m and her own show. She's a timebomb of racial insensitivity and race-baiting - it's basically what her whole career was built on - and now they're sitting with the mess they created. It's very similar to the Roseanne Barr story.

I'm guessing free sm advertising through outrage and headlines:D

Nope, they told her what she is not allowed to say on their TV station when they are paying her salary. She is still free to defend black face to her hearts content on other platforms, maybe she should start a blog?

Opinions are thoughts whether you say them out loud or not. They did an panel discussion, opinion peace, which is basically going around in a circle and asking everyone what they think. Then there was outrage because she thinks the wrong things.

It's completely stupid to have that from the network if they don't allow controversial opinions. The controversy is probably good for them but they are trying to police and guide public opinion, which is completely stupid and the reason forthe decline of the MSM in general

Has she ever cried when an unarmed white man was shot by a police officer?

Sounds just like the Democrats' identity politics game. She learnt from the best.

I knew you were going to disseminate the word "consequences" to muddy the water when any sane person reading that sentence knows full-well what I meant....

so I pre-compiled this message so I could post it within seconds of your reply.

That's the thing about NPC's, their predictability...

Funny thing is your response was far more predictable. See it recited daily by right wing people everyday.

The Democrats are driving the racial and feminist agendas, not Republicans. Want to see race in everything, and everywhere, well, that is how it happens.

Not just Dems see it as a problem...

Poll: 64 percent of Americans say racism remains a major problem

The poll comes after a string of high-profile incidents involving minorities who appeared to have been racially profiled while doing something innocuous.

Overall, 64 percent said racism remains a major problem in our society. Thirty percent agreed that racism exists today, but it isn't a major problem.

Do you think the solution is to then make everyone think more along the lines of race or sex? Don't you think that we should talk more about individuals and apply opinions/beliefs to individuals, and not the entire race?

If a public figure like Megyn Kelly or Ron Desantis does things that appear to be racist, the solution is not to ignore it and waffle on about platitudes. The solution is to confront it, evaluate their positions, and then deal with it. ]


Do you think racism exists? What forms does it take?

How are we supposed to evaluate it or discuss it when expressing an unpopular opinion could lead to job loss?

Which is completely ironic, because Megyn Kelly raised her opinion in a panel which was discussing the merits of the topic!

So when the sons go to the maintain to become men, they are painted white. That is racist too then right?

Don't expect an truthful answer. Maybe some excuse like "tradition". He cannot compute. This NPC is fsucked and mindless as we see. He needs to be transported to the lab for reprogramming and a reboot? There must have something that's gone wrong when they flashed the bios as it's not working as expected. Maybe a driver clash or firmware problem? Maybe not enough ram? Anything is possible!

MAGA NPCs are very quiet about this.

It's really strange. They were so vocal when it was peaking. Oh well, I can't remember posting about how well it was doing so it's a bit hypocritical to point out that the righters are silent when it's not doing well.

It's not a good sign for the US economy though. It's the one area I have been hoping Trump manages to keep up, because it makes a tangible difference to my pocket.
