At the National Association of Black Journalists' convention, former New York Times managing editor Gerald Boyd talked about the Jayson Blair fiasco. Boyd accepted his share of the responsibility, but he also talked about the racism that contributed to the crisis. Not racism that caused people to be unfair to Blair--racism that caused white executives at the Times to make ridiculous assumptions about Boyd.

First, they assumed--because he is black--that Boyd was Blair's mentor. Boyd hardly knew Blair. Worse, they were afraid to tell Boyd about Blair's sloppy and dishonest work because...well, you know, those blacks are going to get offended and stick together.

The insult toward Boyd is purely racist. And these are the folks who are running the so-called "liberal media"?
