Blaming her decision to wear blackface on ignorance and the media while offering up her own albino child as an excuse, a recently-released statement from the attorney of an Iowa teacher has earned her a potential nomination in the White Tears category of this year’s Wypipo Awards.

As we’ve covered here at The Root before (just yesterday, in fact), it’s that time of year when a certain class of white people, bereft of any common sense, sensitivity, or any sense of the world outside their enchanted snow globe of Caucasity, decide to dabble in blackface under the guise of putting on a Halloween…

’Tis the season. The Jack-o-Lanterns are glowing on porches; the smell of hot apple cider wafts through the crisp fall air; ghouls, goblins, and various iterations of Cardi B wander the streets and wypipo continue their decades-long tradition of fucking up Halloween for everyone.

A South Carolina bank executive and business leader recently heralded for his innovation in the field of finance is now receiving even more accolades for his work in the minstrel ministry after he donned blackface to go to a Halloween party dressed as Trump supporter, Kanye West.

If you tuned into the third hour of the Today show on Monday morning (or tuned in for the first time, out of sheer curiosity), no doubt you were greeted with some friendly and familiar faces. It was likely the most colorful the hour has been in over a year—or at least since Megyn Kelly Today debuted last September.

Looks like morning show audiences will be spared any further angst from Megyn Kelly. On Friday, NBC officially canceled her hour on the Today Show, Megyn Kelly Today, and, according to the Hollywood Reporter, isn’t even waiting until her season ends in December.

Sentient vat of recycled Great Value Wite-Out Megyn Kelly appears to be losing her job very soon. Perhaps it will happen while I am typing this sentence. (Did it?) The straw that broke this racist camel’s back, of course, was her awkward and illogical and just dumb-as-the-fuck defense of blackface Halloween costumes…

It’s almost Halloween, the time of year when sadists pretend that candy corn is not Satan’s butt plug and masochists terrorize their taste buds with pumpkin flavors, which is essentially sweet potatoes with low self-esteem. It is also the season when white people think it would be cute to cover their faces in shoe…

Whew, life comes at you fast. If Santa Claus is indeed white, Megyn Kelly is obviously on his “naughty” list given that, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Kelly will likely be ending her hour of the Today show by the close of the current season. Surprisingly, this was reportedly in the works before her now-infamous…

It had to be an awkward morning around the Today Show studios in New York City, as cast and crew struggled with how to address the white elephant in the room, Megyn Kelly. Kelly’s deeply troubling comments on her Tuesday morning show, which seemed to defend the use of blackface in Halloween costumes, sparked outrage…

“Who here is white?” asked Miss Sumpter, the 3rd-grade social studies teacher at Millbrooks Elementary School in Champaign, Ill., to her students while conducting a mock census.

Can somebody keep Megyn Kelly from weighing in on holidays? After all, this is the woman who, while an anchor at Fox News, insisted Santa is and could only ever be white—and that the same is true of Jesus. Now, the Wicked Witch of NBC is unleashing new horrors upon us, just in time for Halloween.

An Australian Rules Football (AFL) club had to apologize this week after three of its players donned full-body blackface to impersonate Venus and Serena Williams, as well as a Kenyan-born AFL player, Aliir Aliir.

What in the entire good God tarnation entire fifth ring of hell was somebody thinking when they put a child in blackface on a recent movie set?

When keeping it inclusive goes wrong: popular Korean beauty and fashion company Stylenanda’s heart was likely in the right place when it attempted to show diversity in a nail polish ad by placing a brown hand next to a much paler one. But something was a little ... off.

The obsession with blackface has to stop.

This is the kind of stuff you can’t make up. What happened to a white New York City transit supervisor after he was caught in full blackface years ago?

Hal Patton is the current mayor of Edwardsville, Ill. He’s also a GOP state Senate candidate, and he’s an asshole who either doesn’t understand why blackface is bad or doesn’t care.

It took a few days, but Push back. Over Jay-Z’s “The Story of O.J.” instrumental, Pusha T responded to Drake’s “Duppy Freestyle” (itself a response to Pusha T’s “Infrared”) with a savage diss record called “The Story of Adidon.” Bruh, King Push was on his Roy Jones Jr. “Y’all must have forgot!” steez.

When it comes to blackface, it’s going to take more than a little black shoe polish to rile up the staff at The Root. We’ve seen them all: the racist tributes to sports heroes, the racist tributes to actresses, singers and anyone else famous. We’ve seen the racist attempts at just plain racism. We’ve seen the frat…
