Seth Meyers enlists Late Night's Amber Ruffin to explain why Megyn Kelly's blackface comments were racist

The Mary Sue

“Megyn said, ‘I don’t know how blackface is racist on Halloween,'" said Ruffin. “It’s not racist on Halloween. It’s racist every day,” she explains. “There is no magical day where you can wear blackface with no repercussions—unless all your friends are white, and I’m guessing all of Megyn Kelly’s friends are white.” She added: “How are you gonna have a bunch of white people sit together and figure out what’s racist? White people don’t get to decide what’s racist. If I punch you, I don’t decide if it hurts or not—you do. And it won’t because I’m not punching no white lady because I don’t want to go to jail.”
