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.

Steve Harvey Is Giving Marriage Advice

By Ta-Nehisi Coates

Nov 5 2009, 10:30 AM ET Comment

And he ain't half-bad. Man, Good Morning America is another world. It's amazing to see this dude cross-over, and see the times. You got this black dude giving relationship advice to black, white, Asian women. Perhaps it shouldn't be that shocking. But I was born in 75, we didn't really have that in the 80s. We had more in the 90s. But now...

Anyway, Good for Steve.
