HBCUs: The Hidden Racial Scam.

(ThyBlackMan.com) For many of you who don’t know the history of HBCUs, you see them only as progress. And yes many of them have turned out awesome African Americans who will go on to change the world. But just as every coin has three sides, so does the foundation of HBCUs. And one side is not at all what most people of color think. So while the truth hurts, I do not say this to shoot down our young... [Read the full story]

Black Americans in America is a Fatherless Child.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Ghostface Killah of the WuTang Klan made a song on his first solo album called ‘Motherless Child.’ Although not the original, it used a sample from a version recorded by O.V. Wright’s “Motherless Child” which was taken from an old Negro spiritual from the times of slavery. The way I see it, a new stanza should be made to state ‘I feel like a fatherless child.’... [Read the full story]

Black American? African American? Uplift The Community.

The Jim Crowing of Christianity!

(ThyBlackMan.com) “Whites only”…. “Colored”…. “No colored allowed”…. These words remind us a very ugly time in American history. A time of separate and unequal State sponsored fascism and racism. We all know about the history of Jim Crow, its demonic legacies; and the horrible results of its policies. For Black-Americans; limited freedoms, discrimination, ethnic violence, along with... [Read the full story]

African-Americans Embracing Christian Faith; The Other Side of God.

(ThyBlackMan.com) So you say you know God? Do you really? Is God who you think He is, who you want Him to be or who He really is? Such questions take most people who believe in God into a realm where they are afraid to go. Why? Because they may find out that the God they want to believe in is not actually who He is. Growing up and in “church” we are told not to question God – and... [Read the full story]

African Americans Religion is still Christianity but Why?

(ThyBlackMan.com) Indeed, for the last 400 years in the United States of America the African American community have been following, listening, studying, preaching, worshiping, praying, kneeling and bending the knee to a white God, a white Jesus, a man made white bible written by a pale skin demon of the west and a white religion known as Christianity which is the “Religion of the Slaves”.

The ‘Invisible Tax’ On African-American Teachers.

(ThyBlackMan.com) It’s called the “invisible tax” — the expectation that Black teachers will take the lead on all things Black — from organizing school-wide Black History Month events to being the entry point to the school system for families of color. Except now it’s not so invisible anymore — and Black educators have had enough. “I would say at this point, this is kind of visible.... [Read the full story]

Still in 2022, The Angry Black man.

(ThyBlackMan.com) A Black friend from high school recently contacted me to share a conversation that he had had with a white former classmate of ours. He did not share (and I did not ask for) the identity of our mutual friend. During their conversation, that friend lamented that some of his Black classmates — including the two of us — often appeared to be “angry” when posting on social media.... [Read the full story]

Black-on-Black Crime: Who’s the Real Enemy Black America?

(ThyBlackMan.com) “If there is no enemy within, the enemy outside cannot hurt you.” –African Proverb– Few topics of African-American bedlam have been as hush-hush and controversial as Black-on-Black Crime. We’ve discussed our hair, our bizarre dislike of each other. And thanks to Oprah, we have had a national debate about color consciousness (dark skin vs. light skin). But... [Read the full story]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The U.S. Senate is scheduled to start reviewing a record $850 billion defense bill during the month of September. The legislation funds troop compensation and authorizes the military to purchase the latest weaponry for any potential 21st century conflict.

Celebrity Worship.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Celebrity worship has been a part of the human condition for as long as we have been a part of the landscape.  I think we sometimes discount the depth of our involvement in the social elevation of those we think of as being heroes, talented, or special.  Celebrity worship – of both real and fictional characters — is the substance of which legends are made.  History is replete... [Read the full story]

The Policy of Low-Balling Our Job Rates by Joe Biden Hurts American Workers.
