"Late Night with Seth Meyers" writer Amber Ruffin:

“(Blackface is) not racist on Halloween. It’s racist every day. There is no magical day where you can wear blackface with no repercussions unless all of your friends are white, and I’m guessing all of Megyn Kelly’s friends are white.”

“Blackface is racist because It turns black people into a costume and divorces them from their humanity. We’re people, not costumes. But more importantly, it ignores the severely racist context in which blackface was introduced into this country, and actions don’t exist separate from their context.”

When will Amber Ruffin demand Northam's resignation?

Actor Patton Oswalt:

Dear @megynkelly — you and I are approximately the same age. Blackface was NOT okay when we were kids. Take it from a big-hearted boy who just wanted to show his love for Nipsey Russell on the worst Halloween of my life.

When will Patton Oswalt demand Northam's resignation?

Padma Lakshmi:

Because @megynkelly: minstrelsy is the basis for the coining of the term "Jim Crow" laws which served to humiliate & target Black Americans. Because caricaturing another race perpetuates the dehumanization of POC who are being killed & jailed at a disproportionate rate in the US

When will Padma Lakshmi demand Northam's resignation?
