‘Chalk-Full’ Of People ‘Actually Wearing Blackface’: Megyn Kelly Blasts NBC Double Standard
LaCorte News ^ | 6/26/2020 | Damjan Tutarkov

Posted on 06/26/2020 11:34:46 AM PDT by Zenyatta

Former Fox News and NBC News anchor Megyn Kelly slammed NBC on Thursday for removing several episodes of shows featuring actors in blackface but firing her in 2018 for defending blackface makeup for Halloween.

The story: Taking a hit at former NBC chairman Andy Lack, Kelly wrote, “So it turns out that when Andy Lack said ‘there is no place on our air’ for my discussion of blackface, it was b/c NBC was already chalk-full of shows and major stars actually wearing blackface…on the air…at NBC.”

Her tweet comes after Variety reported about several “30 Rock” episodes where actors wore blackface being taken down.

In a Wednesday tweet, Kelly sarcastically asked, “Wait – what network aired those episodes again?”

“Chalk-full”? That’s either a great play on words or one of the most idiotic. For the life of me, I can’t tell which. lol

For Halloween once many years ago, I wore green face with my teeth blacked out.

Was imitating a friend who got sick drunk, fell and knocked out a tooth.

I wonder if that will get me in trouble??

“White as chalk” to describe someone very pale. So... NBC is “chalk-full” (full of white, pasty folks) of people in black-face. That’s what I got when I first read it, anyway. :)

Maybe she just doesn’t know it’s “Chock-full”. We are talking celebrities here after all.
