Jumping Gigabytes, Al Roker dresses as Doc Brown and white folks got angry. |
The Today Show family and the fallout with former NBC host Megyn Kelly continues.
Megyn Kelly is officially a washed up celebrity.
Kelly sparked outrage over the past week when she defended white people wearing blackface. She implicated the remarks during a Halloween taping of her final show.
Kelly who was fired out the cannon on Friday formally apologized. She didn't apologize to the Black staffers though. She is negotiating her exit strategy with NBC. She may lose her great contract.
Al Roker, the host and weatherman of Today fired back at critics this week after they got outrage over his Back to The Future costume. Roker dressed up as Dr. Emmett Brown (Doc) from the hit trilogy.
It lead to social media outrage.
Roker promptly addressed his critics on social media.
I’m going to say this one last time, but the folks who get it, understand and the ones who DON’T, won’t. I can be Doc Brown, and I wear the outfit and wig and not change my skin color if you’re white , you can be President Obama if you want. Just don’t color your skin!— Al Roker (@alroker) October 31, 2018

"I can be Doc Brown, and I wear the outfit and wig and not change my skin color if you're white, you can be President Obama if you want. Just don't color your skin!"
Accompanied by fellow meteorologist Dylan Dreyer, who dressed up as Marty McFly, Roker wore a white wig and white overalls – but didn't alter the color of his face in his portrayal of Christopher Lloyd's character.
Okay, this is a distraction.
White folks complaining about Al Roker dressing like a white character is manufactured outrage. He didn't get cream colored makeup.
It's time to end the distractions.
Are you going to vote?
VOTE EARLY.
VOTE ABSENTEE BALLOT.
VOTE NOVEMBER 6, 2018.
Restore sanity to the country. Under Trump, people of color are suffering. With white people calling the law on Black people minding their business, it appears infuriating that we allow our lawmakers to continue to justify this.
The Republicans are using the same old tired playbook given to them by Rush Limbaugh, Sean "Softball" Hannity, The Drudge Report, Fox News and Breitbart. They are fully engaged in the culture war.
They won't if we don't get our asses out to vote this Midterm. The price is too great to allow Trump continue the course he's going.
The Republicans are going to win on the culture war. We can stop them if we get off our asses and vote this Midterm election.
