Megyn Kelly says blackface costumes are okay. Cenk Uygur, Ken Klippenstein, and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down.
Read more here:
"NBC host Megyn Kelly questioned whether the use of blackface on Halloween is racist during her program on Tuesday.
“But what is racist?” Kelly said Tuesday morning. “You truly do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface at Halloween or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween.”
“Back when I was a kid, that was OK, as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character,” Kelly continued.
Kelly then referenced TV personality Luann de Lesseps's decision to dress as Diana Ross with what appeared to be darker makeup during a premiere of “The Real Housewives of New York” earlier this year.
De Lesseps immediately drew criticism for the look, which many perceived to be blackface, and issued an apology."
