The New York Times posted this correction on its website Sunday:
“An entry on Nov. 4 in the Holiday Movies listings misidentified the actor who portrays a member of a small-time crime duo preparing to rob a local church in ‘First Sundays.’ He is Tracy Morgan — not Chi McBride, who plays the pastor at the church.”
(Hat-tip: Regret the Error.)
For those keeping score, this is the sixth time I’ve featured a New York Times mistake since I began cataloging Misidentified Black People nine months ago.

I'd be more outraged if I didn't see an almost daily stream of stupid mistakes the Times makes on Gawker. It's not right that they keep misidentifying black people, but their stupidity is not limited to us.
^ Point taken.
Don't know why you're being so negative, it could of been worse. In their correction the Times could of put up a picture of Morgan Freeman misidentified as Tracy Morgan.
Just wait till the claim that Samuel L. Jackson recorded "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah."
