Knowing Americans as I do I've never doubted that racism is prevalent in a large percentage of the population. Nor do I hold any illusions regarding what Trump and his cult followers mean by 'Make America Great Again.' That doesn't make it any less dismaying to see them succeeding, and being so happy about it.Megyn Kelly [former Fox News blonde] has unraveled with an unhinged rant after the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to end protected status for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian migrants.
In a major win for the Trump administration and its hardline immigration policies on Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to overturn lower court orders that had blocked the administration from stripping some 350,000 Haitians and 6,100 Syrians of their Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
“Go home! Get out! We know our country is better than yours. That’s because we filled it with our work ethic, culture, and values,” the conservative commentator, 55, said on the latest episode of The Megyn Kelly Show.
“You being here only dilutes it for us, for those who built it, and live it. And half of you people, more than half of you, won’t assimilate. We don’t want you,” an enraged Kelly went on.
“We don’t care if you’re offended. Get out. Go home. Go back to f--king Haiti,” Kelly said before adding: “Sorry.”
...
Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, in her dissent, said on Thursday that Trump’s remarks about Haitian immigrants are “so repellent and racially inflected that the majority declines to put them in print.”
“The statements fairly shout,” she wrote, “in their racial undertones and overtones alike, that race entered into the president’s resolve to remove Haitians from this country.”

It's not racism, I tell you. It's about the true spirit of America, which happens to be conservative, white, and regressive evangelical Christian. Don't call it racism!

What is she so mad at though? Do I even want to know how it’s all some foreigner’s fault?

Re: Media Bias
She's not actually angry. She has a history of championing the cause of white nationalism. Never bothered much with dog-whistling, she's out front about it. To cite just a few examples (paraphrased, but accurate): 'Santa Claus is white, certainly not black!' 'Getting upset about blackface is just silly.' 'How dare that guy sing in Spanish at the Superbowl halftime show. This is America, where we speak English!'
