So here’s my theories on Megyn Kelly’s seemingly unforced error regarding blackface:

1) She wants to get out of her contract and instead of just quitting, she’s creating an out that allows her to sue NBC for more money.

2) She wants to go back to Fox, and this is her sending up a not subtle flare that she know her audience and theirs, and would be more than happy to come back, sexual harassment be damned.

3) She’s an inveterate racist who absorbed the racist teachings of her family; specifically the idea that blackface was somehow not a big deal in all the time she’s been on this planet.

4) She’s way, waaaaay fucking stupider than I gave her credit for.
