I Watched Megyn Kelly's White Grievance Show so You Don't Have to. Here's What I Found.
Kristoffer Ealy is a political scientist, political analyst, and professor in Southern California. He teaches American Government and political behavior, with a focus on political psychology, voting behavior, and political socialization. Subscribe to his Substack, The Thinking Class with Professor Ealy.We need to talk about our favorite white activist, Megyn Kellybecause 2025 wasnt just a year where she mentioned whiteness. It was a year where she treated it like a full-time job with benefits, a pension, and a union rep named, Stop Making Everything About Race (Unless Its My Race).
And yes, before we go any further: I endured all this ranting about whiteness from Megyn Kelly so you would not have to. So if you were ever considering becoming a paid subscriber, I will proudly accept pity-paid subs for this act of torture. This wasnt content consumption. This was an endurance test. This was me volunteering as tribute so you could keep your peace.
But seriouslyafter reading and watching all this being white commentary from Megyn Kelly, I started wondering: has this woman ever talked about her culture? Not her race. Her culture. Because she talks about being white so much youd think she was born in a place called White Town, where the snow is all white, everyone drives white cars, all the houses are white, the dirt is white, the grass is white, the sky is white, and everything is just white. The clouds are white. The air is white. The Wi-Fi router is white. The Wi-Fi password is Whitey McWhiterson$$. The street signs are white. The family dog is somehow also white. And every morning the town crier stands in the middle of the village and yells, GOOD MORNING, ITS WHITE AGAIN!
So I did what any normal person does when theyve been trapped in someone elses racial anxiety: I searched Megyn Kelly and culture side by side. And what did I find? Not culture. I found woke, cultural decay, DEI, and the usual genre where people scream about free speech while trying to ban every sentence that makes them uncomfortable.

(3,375 posts)1. "So when Megyn says "don't apologize for being white"'
Who is apologizing for being white hint: no one.
In fact, this whole apologizing for being white is nothing but a rightwing contrivance, a ridiculous lie fabricated by conservatives to pander to the racism and unwarranted fear of Republicans, another manifestation of white grievance politics and racist replacement dogma.
