To start, the most obvious evidence of that statement is that Dan Filler is not a balding black man; however, and ironically, such visual descriptives are of little use here in the blogsphere, unlike life in the unfortunate real world. Nor does Dan Filler have past experience in weather forecasting (and if his March Madness picks are any indication of forecasting ability, a future in that arena looks bleak as well). The point is that Mr. Filler, a law professor with extensive experience as a public defender, and Mr. Roker, a broadcasting professional who is a life-long member of a minority community, are coming from entirely different places, and have experienced racism in different ways. It would be unfair to say that either is wrong.
