Tweet (ThyBlackMan.com) I’ve never been a conservative and never will be.  But what I find funny is that, when I go into the media, people assume that I am a liberal.  It might be because I identify with poor black people, support affirmative action and have helped to fight against mass incarceration.  The problem is that I don’t fit very well... [Read more...]

Tweet (ThyBlackMan.com) Even as a kid, I saw the cat danglin’ out the bag that let me know that my “pastor” was standing up there in the pulpit spewing a lot of nonsense.

Tweet (ThyBlackMan.com) There’s been a really ridiculous debate going on between the 30 and 40 somethings and older athletes/entertainers from the civil rights generation.  First, there was the weird spat between Jay-Z and Harry Belafonte, where Harry basically said that Jay-Z owes something to the black community, but Jay wants to believe that... [Read more...]
