Barack Hussein Obama Will Be Remembered As One of Our Greatest Presidents.

Tweet (ThyBlackMan.com) I am sick to death of these so-call Black “intellectuals” spending so much time criticizing President Obama – not because I don’t feel that EVERY politician’s feet should be held to the fire, I do, but because most of the nonsense  they’re spewing is pure, unmitigated, ignorance.

MSNBC’s Firing of Martin Bashir Reminds Black People that We are Only The Help.

Tweet (ThyBlackMan.com) I can’t really say that I’ve ever liked Martin Bashir all that much.  His move 10 years ago to undermine Michael Jackson in a deceptive fashion didn’t sit well with me.  I presume that Bashir had an ethical reason to do what he did and wasn’t just trying to promote himself to stardom.  Either way, throwing Michael... [Read more...]

Right Wingers Wrong on Oprah.

Tweet (ThyBlackMan.com) On paper, the Republican Party should absolutely adore Oprah Gail Winfrey. She’s very wealthy, very influential, and very famous. Normally, those three attributes would elevate almost anyone to most favored status within the Grand Ole Party.
