A photo showing Ellie Kemper attending a ball believed to be linked to white supremacy has resurfaced, prompting critics to accuse the “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” star of racist behavior.
Kemper, 41, became the subject of scrutiny on Tuesday when the image of her being named the queen of St. Louis’ Veiled Prophet Ball as a teen in 1999 started making the rounds online.
The Veiled Prophet Ball is a secret fair originally formed in 1878 by elites to honor the ritual of Mardi Gras, and is reportedly associated with white supremacy.

I no longer have a clue WTF people are talking about.
Just which month is White Supremacy Month anyway?
bump
I have no idea who this person is, but there is so much wrong with this article. This is a pile of BS so high as to be insurmountable, if you read the article.
Glad I’m not the only one..... Who the fk is Ellie Kemper???
Actress, best known for The Office and The Unbreakable Kimmie Schmidt.
The Veiled Prophet parade was racist?
Why did all those “persons of color” come to watch it?
“Today, the organization — which began allowing people of color to join in 1979 — “rejects racism” and touts its “civil progress, economic contributions and charitable causes in St. Louis,” it said in a statement.”
This crap is so pathetic.
Gasp... No! Not the dreaded “White Supremacy” again!!
NOBODY expects the White Supremacy... its three main weapons are...
I get confused — Ellie Kemper ... is she the one who invented slavery?
This has to win an award for the most inane opening statement in an article. Ever. (Or at least within the last hour…)
“A photo showing Ellie Kemper attending a ball believed to be linked to white supremacy has resurfaced, prompting critics to accuse the “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” star of racist behavior“
Is this the group from Eyes Wide Shut?
Until people no longer give a darn these Woke twits will keep on running amuck.
Just don’t care at all, laugh at them when they say they are offended, and even go out of your way to expressly offend them ... they are bad people.
Yeah.
Who is Ellie Kemper and What is Queen of the Ball and who cares?
They won't mention that neither Harvard nor Yale, founded long before the Declaration of Independence had a black student graduate until after the Civil War. And Prnceton? Progressive and Democrat icon Woodrow Wilson managed to keep Princeton segregated during his time as leader of that university, which didn't graduate a black student until after World War II.
I'm not familiar with Kemper's politics, but if she's a creature of Hollywood now, I won't even try to stand up for her.
“Actress, best known for The Office and The Unbreakable Kimmie Schmidt.”
Oh. Ok. I do know who Ellie Kemper is.
Pretty and entertaining actress in The Office.
And I’ve seen both Ray Charles and Al Green at the VP Fair!
A quick look at the content of her twitter page shows she’s a bubble-headed millennial, certainly not of the intellect or maturity to be a real journalist. Starting with...
“Reporter @pagesix @Nypost - Lover of dogs, puns, and mac n cheese. I’m the funny twin.”
