I'm not going to repost Megyn Kelly's toxic "why are Black women celebrating why they went to HBCUs" tweet, bc ... why? I'll just repost this instead. In case anyone had to wonder why HBCUs had to exist in the first place. And should be celebrated for what they opposed.

Infamous rejection letter from Emory Med School from 1959, rejecting an applicant solely bc the school was "not authorized to consider for admission a member of the Negro race."

At least they sent back the $5.00 application fee, along with any sense of decency or honor.

This letter was 65 years ago. The intertia required to change society long exceeded that.

Thanks, it’s good to see this dark truth in such a straightforward and stark manner.

But also, again: Is there ANYTHING newsworthy about Megyn Kelly--a woman who genuinely thinks both Santa and Jesus are white--being racist? There is not. Which means there is nothing gained reposting screenshots of her nastiness. It's pollution. You're polluting the timeline for likes.

Not 1859. 1959.

I don't know why out of all things in that letter, I'm mildly impressed by the fact that they returned his application fee. Because today they would never? Returning the fee gives me the impression the dean actually regretted they fact he couldn't admit him.

Megyn Kelly is a vile, disgusting bytch, like all the GOP clones. I heard her go on about Kamala sleeping her way into office and she made me physically ill.

Thank you for that. No more needs be said. Megyn Kelly can just shut the eff up. She is not relevant, no matter how hard she tries.
