Afghanistan, Why Are We Still?

(ThyBlackMan.com) It’s been a year and a day since Osama bin Laden’s corpse was rolled off a ship and left to rot at the bottom of the sea. Since that time al-Qaida’s continued to vow to avenge their fallen leader’s death. The war in Iraq has really, really ended. Syria and Yemen remain on the brink of a destructive civil war if they’re not... [Read more...]

Black America Democratic Party is Not Your Friend.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Candidly, I have struggled with this for years; how best to explain why I am a black conservative and why fellow black Americans should join me. I served on a board with an extremely bright black mom. Both of her kids, a boy and a girl, are brilliant; her son received a full scholarship to Yale. This black mom is well-read on “whiny”... [Read more...]

Kagame, Yes Rebranding Rwanda.

(ThyBlackMan.com) When the average American thinks of Rwanda, there are two thoughts that come to mind—genocide and gorillas. During the early 1990s, Rwanda killed almost 1 million of its own people in a brazen display of ethnic cleansing.  As with the Jewish Holocaust, the world stood idly by and pretended that they saw nothing!  Rwanda is also... [Read more...]

(ThyBlackMan.com) A few months ago on the campaign trail, while giving a television interview following his Florida primary win, Presumptive Presidential Candidate Willard “Mitt” Romney said: ”I’m not concerned about the very poor.

President Obama: Ted Nugent, The Secret Service drama, etc.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Guitar-strumming iconoclastic Ted Nugent got an obligatory visit from and interview by the Secret Service for his loose-lipped crack that to ensure that President Obama’s not be re-elected, “we need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November” at the National Rifle Association convention. But... [Read more...]

Ted Nugent, and NRA put on blast.

(ThyBlackMan.com) By now we should all be fairly familiar with how certain media stories emerge onto various networks and into the public sphere. Someone says something really stupid. Media outlets pounce on the statement and quote it or replay it ad infinitum. Pundits (present company included) ‘appear’ on various networks and talk with... [Read more...]

Yes Sudan should come before Syria.

(ThyBlackMan.com) First I want to give a shout out to all the African Americans out on the front line protesting against the horrible atrocities in the Sudan, especially those who have written diligently and criticized the President for his lack of attention toward that war torn nation. Not to pat myself on the back for writing about Obama and his... [Read more...]

Ok The Real 411 on Obama Era Blacks.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Attribution is extremely important in writing. Over this past week, I picked up a copy of the Nation Magazine at my local library. There they have a basket where people can bring their used magazines for others to read. It is there where I pick up the Nation along with “The Smithsonian”, “Reason” and my new favorite “The... [Read more...]

Some say Obama Campaign Has a Diversity Problem.
