Born in 1975, the product of two beautiful parents. Raised in West Baltimore—not quite The Wire, but sometimes ill all the same. Studied at the Mecca for some years in the mid-’90s. Emerged with a purpose, if not a degree. Slowly migrated up the East Coast with a baby and my beloved, until I reached the shores of Harlem. Wrote some stuff along the way.

Keep Digging Geraldine

By Ta-Nehisi Coates

May 22 2008, 3:10 AM ET Comment

As one of my commenters noted, Geraldine has now accused black journalists, the world over, and Bob Herbert in paticular of engaging in a sexist plot against Clinton, and refusing to discuss sexism and misoginy. There's just one problem--BOB HERBERT, HIMSELF, SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED SEXISM AGAINST CLINTON IN THE MEDIA BACK IN JANUARY. This is getting sad. It is a great lesson to me about how nothing good comes from anger. I just don't know who she thinks she's ingratiating herself with.Peace to Jezebel for the link.
