Charles McRay Blow (born August 11, 1970) is an American journalist, commentator, and op-ed columnist for The New York Times.
Life and career
Blow was born and raised in Gibsland, Louisiana.[1][2] He graduated magna cum laude from Grambling State University, with a bachelor's degree in mass communication.[3]
As a student, he interned at the Shreveport Times, ‘’News Journal’’, and The New York Times, edited the student newspaper, the Gramblinite, and founded the now-defunct student magazine, Razz. He also served as president of Grambling State's chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi.[4][5]
He headed the graphics department at The New York Times and was art director at National Geographic.[6]
In April 2008, he began writing a column in The New York Times. His column had originally appeared biweekly on Saturdays. In May 2009, it became a weekly feature and appeared twice, weekly, in December 2012. As of May 2014, it appears every Monday and Thursday.[3]
Blow often appears on CNN and MSNBC.
On February 22, 2012, Blow referred to presidential candidate Mitt Romney's "magic underwear", an apparent reference to the Temple Garment, in response to a comment by Romney about two parent households.[7][8] The comment was criticized as insensitive to Mormons. In response, Romney joked that "I guess we’re finding out for the first time that the media is somewhat biased."[8] Blow later apologized.[8][9]
In 2014, Blow published the book-length memoir entitled Fire Shut Up In My Bones.[10]
In August 2016, while appearing on CNN with Donald Trump presidential campaign delegate Bruce Levell, Blow called Donald Trump a "bigot" and said that anyone who supported Trump is "a part of the bigotry itself."[11][12] Blow also stated in his OpEd, "white women weaponizing racial anxiety, using their white femininity to activate systems of white terror against black men. This has long been a power white women realized they had and that they exerted."[13]
Personal life
Blow's primary residence is in Atlanta, Georgia and his secondary residence is in the New York City borough of Brooklyn where he raised his children.[14][15][16][3] His eldest son, Tahj, graduated from Yale University[17] and his twins, Ian and Iman, graduated from Middlebury College and Columbia University respectively.[18][19] In 2014, Blow came out publicly as bisexual.[20][21]
