Everytime Reverend Jessie (who more and more these days can be found circling over another doomed black hope like a buzzard)opens his mouth somebody brings up the "Hymietown incident".

I remember it was a black reporter who told that story on him, but I can't remember his name.

Who was he?

Hey Chris,

That would be Milton Coleman. An African-American reporter from the Washington Post. Many Black people considered him a traitor for calling Jesses out on this.

Were you one of them?

Jessie was stupid to say this in front of anybody who was working for the Washington Post. Once the Brother signs up with the Washington Post, he is with the Post, diggit? He is trying to get over there. If I give him some hot poop--Jessie never tried to deny he even said it--he's gonna use it--probably will be a promotion in it for him.

Only thing is he killed his pipeline he had to that part of the Black Establishment--or anybody.

Jessie was really stupidly feeling his oats, probably this wasn't the only bodacious thang he was saying while this was going on, perhaps even to Coleman.


By the way, what his he doing these days, you know?

If this is him it looks as though he was well rewarded

Milton Coleman is deputy managing editor of The Washington Post. He joined the newspaper in 1976 as a reporter on the Metro staff, where he covered politics and government in Montgomery County and the District. In 1980, he became city editor and moved in 1983 to the National news staff, where his covered minorities and immigration, the 1984 presidential campaign, state and local governments and Congress.

In 1986, he was named assistant managing editor for metropolitan news, and for the next decade directed The Post’s local coverage. In July 1996, he was promoted to his current position, from which he runs the newsroom personnel office, has been the principal architect of the newspaper’s strategy and development of zoned editions and has helped to lead efforts to improve coverage of Latinos, including news in Spanish and the purchase of the Spanish-language weekly El Tiempo Latino in May 2004.

Coleman began his journalism career as a reporter for the Milwaukee Courier, a black weekly, and worked as a reporter or editor at the African World newspaper in Greensboro, N.C., the All-African News Service, and WHUR-FM news in Washington, D.C., Community News Service of New York and the Minneapolis Star.
Born in Milwaukee, he received a bachelor of fine arts degree in music history and literature from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which in 1998 named him as a Distinguished Alumnus. In 1971, he was a Southern Education Foundation Fellow, and in 1974 a fellow in the Michele Clark Summer Program for Minority Journalists at the Graduate School of Journalism, Columbia University.
He has served as a jury chairman for the Pulitzer Prizes in Journalism, as a judge for the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards, the Scripps Howard Foundation National Journalism Awards, the Associated Press Sports Editors, National Association of Black Journalists and Asian American Journalist Association awards, and as a judge and chairman of the judging committee for the Seldon Ring Award for Investigative Reporting.

He also has served as coordinator of the Friends of Herb Denton committee, which each year selects a recipient for an $90,000 college scholarship in memory of the former Washington Post editor and foreign correspondent.
