We need to talk about our favorite white activist, Megyn Kelly—because 2025 wasn’t 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 It’s 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 wasn’t “content consumption.” This was an endurance test. This was me volunteering as tribute so you could keep your peace.

But seriously—after 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 you’d 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, IT’S WHITE AGAIN!”

So I did what any normal person does when they’ve been trapped in someone else’s 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.

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.
