Ok fair enough.
The thing is, why was it not brought up before now? An interview nearly 50 years ago, and it’s only become an issue now? I mean, people can’t have been too offended if it took 50 years to realise it.
its been out there but it’s selective outrage , jimmy kimmel , jimmy Fallon , Howard stern ,Justin Trudeau , governor of Virginia would be all gone for using black face and using n word , Megyn Kelly was fired for black face picture, depends on your politics.
Megyn Kelly was not fired for a blackface picture.
She was defending people dressing up at Halloween.
Her ratings were in the toilet. That was the straw that broke the carmel’s back.
She had previous form, insisting while still at Fox News that Santa Claus had to be white!
Northam ludicrously brazened it out, denying the photo was him (after previously confirming it), but the only reason it worked was that the next two in line got enveloped in their own scandals the same week. Otherwise he’d have been gone.
I’m not too familiar with the other situations, but I’m guessing they did a massive mea culpa and held on. Except Howard Stern maybe. Offensiveness was his M.O.
