Al Roker Rips Megyn Kelly for Blackface Remarks...
Al Roker said, "I'm old enough to have lived through Amos & Andy where you had white people in blackface playing two black characters just magnifying the stereotypes about black people. And that's what the big problem is," he added.
The roles in the radio show were played by the creators of Amos & Andy, Freeman Gosden & Charles Correll, both white. The TV series used black actors only, there were no white actors in black face. I was a big fan of the show, never missed it and still watch it sometimes on You Tube. |

I think we are all a little sick of being "PC". It's time these people grew up.

I will just be blunt...Al Roker is a token.....Can`t even come close to Willard Scott. Roker was one of the most vocal about getting Don Imus fired.
I do not watch NBC or MSNBC anymore.I could say more,but sometimes "Discretion is the better part of Valor". |

Al Roker is filling Megyn Kelly's today show seat...
Al Roker is back in the anchor?s seat at the Today show. Roker, along with Jenna Bush Hager and Craig Melvin, has stepped in to fill Megyn Kelly?s spot in the third hour of NBC?s morning show. Kelly was fired after her controversial remarks regarding Halloween and dressing in blackface.
Roker is the weatherman on the Today show and previously hosted the third hour of the program, then known as Today?s Take. Roker lost his hosting spot when Today?s Take was canceled in 2017 and replaced by Megyn Kelly Today. |
