Al Roker explains why him dressing up as Back to the Future's Doc Brown is not similar to blackface

USA Today

The Today weatherman was asked on social media if he was being a hypocrite for criticizing Megyn Kelly's blackface character while dressing as an iconic white character for Halloween. Roker responded: "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!"
