        Political correctness is now ruining Halloween in 2018. Poor kids - they don’t think about being racists, but our messed up society is training innocent minds to think this way. Kids are just having fun and trying to be like their fav celebrity role models for Halloween.

        Fight back! Wear black face costumes. And go to a majority black neighborhood to see how that works out. Maybe wear a Native American headdress to a reservation.

        Yea good point - the kids would have fun and go door-to-door for candy just like kids do & have fun. Their hypersensitive brained washed parents would be the only people fighting. Fortunately, kids haven’t been trained by the media to be triggered for political gain yet.

        So, I guess you’re into insulting people. Good to know. Good luck with that.

        Not an insult. Encouraging kids to be violent & “fight back”? Implying kids in “blk neighborhoods & rsrvations” should target other kids dressing up bc of your insecurities? Kids are innocent. Seems like the adults these days are the only people fighting. Leave the kids alone.

        I see you missed the point entirely. I never even implied fighting back. Just pointing out you would not be welcomed wearing blackface around black people. Wearing blackface or Native American garb as a costume is insulting to many people. Why insult people? What’s the point?

        @AP suggested Kelly’s comment about a white kid going for Halloween as Diana Ross was bringing kids costumes into question. We can teach our children to take offense by introducing them to ‘blackface’ at a young age or we can teach them to look beyond bc we are all the same ppl.

        Talk to an older black person- someone who grew up in the Jim Crow era. Ask them if black face is offensive. Then ask 5 more. And listen. Hang out at a black church and just listen. Blackface isn’t about all of us being the same. There’s history.

        All a bunch of B.S selective anger. All against someone who misspoke. But let’s overlook the fact that @SarahKSilverman and @jimmykimmel Have dressed in black face on a number of occasions. It’s clear why Megyn was targeted. The hypocrisy is amazing.https://dailycaller.com/2018/10/25/jimmy-fallon-jimmy-kimmel-sarah-silverman-blackface/ …

        how racist are you? On a scale from "only at home" to seig hiel at rallies, where do you fall? I'm going with only one large groups or the safety of the internet.

        Kids, young kids, have no concepts of race . Why is this even an issue? It's called freedom of speech . Move on. Get over it !
