Kellerman is a "negrophile" but a better term would be Jewish wigger or jigger.
He and his late brother, murdered by a black boxer he befriended, both had an upper middle class Jewish boy's fascination with the black male aura.
Similar to the newly room temperature writer Norman Mailer.
No question he got his job over Larry Merchant because he's in the Jewish "family". The media is essentially, not exclusively, a Jewish club.
