President Biden, Mr. Obama, Juneteenth, and Rigged American Systems.

(ThyBlackMan.com) With the signing of the law, making Juneteenth a federal holiday, President Biden’s “Building Back Better,” policy, ought to be the cornerstone, in the destruction of all of America’s rigged systems. The slogan should mean, the un-rigging of current racist practices, especially those under the control of President Biden, that negatively affect all Americans; not just Black... [Read the full story]

Are You Coming Out of the Pandemic or is the Pandemic Coming Out of You?

(ThyBlackMan.com) In 1945, after the global announcement of the end of World War II, millions took to the streets in euphoria.  Champagne bottles were uncorked; there was dancing in the streets; men and women hugged and kissed in exuberant celebration.  The war, which had led to unspeakable death and destruction, was over. Fast forward some one hundred plus years to the twenty-first century, as the... [Read the full story]

I’ve been on a hiatus; working on other projects, living life, and learning things that will help both of us grow. How have things been going with you since the last time we spoke? Hopefully our conversations... [Read the full story]

Fathers Matter – Always Have, Always Will.

(ThyBlackMan.com) My apologies, I love to write but some things are more important. One such thing is being a father. This past week I serviced my daughter’s sweet 16th birthday party. I use the word service selectively because it is within the framework in which we as men constantly service our lord and savior. The same way we are serviced by such grace, we service our children in that reflection.... [Read the full story]

The NFL’s ‘race-norming’ assessment program another example of scientific racism.

(ThyBlackMan.com) It is a test of will, strength, talent, and ability to play in the National Football League as a player. Football is a brutal and violent sport and the best of the best play in the NFL. The men who play in the NFL challenge their bodies in physically demanding ways to achieve success, acclaim, and riches at the highest level of professional American football in the country. There... [Read the full story]

Bill Gates and James Murdoch; Idiots with Money!!!

(ThyBlackMan.com) I don’t begrudge anyone their success and couldn’t care less how much money someone has. But our culture puts people who have a lot of money on a pedestal more for having a lot of money and less for how they got it or what they do with it. More often than not, what they do with it is, quite frankly, stupid. “A fool and his money are soon parted,” as the saying goes. But sometimes... [Read the full story]

Can Education Become a Gamechanger for Black Males?

(ThyBlackMan.com) This question is on the minds of many in the African American community.  The answer is a simple and resounding yes.  Education does indeed level the playing field, not just for Blacks.  It is one of the great equalizers in our society.  However, one cannot just sit back and expect everything to fall into their lap.  True, there are outreach programs, scholarships, grants and... [Read the full story]

Equal Pay Day; Lives Are Depending On It.

(ThyBlackMan.com) The postponed and rescheduled 2020 Olympic Games are only a few weeks away.  If the Japanese and International Olympic Committees can manage a COVID-safe environment, I welcome them.  I consider this event to be one of the purest forms of athletic competition.  Participants train and compete fairly in a test of physical prowess. If you will, imagine yourself as a participant... [Read the full story]

LGBT; Pride Month Means Black Pride Too.

(ThyBlackMan.com) June is Pride Month, commemorating the violent police raid on the Stonewall Inn on June 28, 1969, when GLBTQ activists fought abusive police officers who beat gay men, lesbians, and those who cross-dressed.  So-called law enforcement also participated in blackmail and extortion against those who were closeted. It took 50 years, until June 2019, for the New York City police commissioner... [Read the full story]

Black Hesitancy and the Conservative Movement.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Many Americans have been hesitant to take the Covid-19 vaccine shot for various reasons; this hesitancy has been especially acute within the Black community. Most of this hesitancy within the Black community is well founded.  Many of our experiences with the federal government has been painful, to say the least. We can start with slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and the Tuskegee... [Read the full story]

For the good of the game; The NFL and Race Norming.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Football is America’s game.  With a pre-pandemic annual revenue of over $15 billion, the National Football League far outpaces other major North American sports franchises (Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League) and is the most lucrative sports league in the world. After long denying a connection between football and brain injuries,... [Read the full story]

Ole America’s Guilt?

(ThyBlackMan.com) I’ve always enjoyed observing the unique behaviors of children.  With them, what you see is what you get.  They present an unvarnished, no-excuse look at human behavior and become genuinely interesting when they are old enough to understand the difference between right and wrong.  Their cleanup after doing something they know (and you know) to be wrong can be creative and... [Read the full story]

Democrat Mary M. Cheh: Prototype for White liberal racist.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Isn’t it amazing that the Republican Party and conservatives have been branded with the racist label but in reality, it really is the Democratic Party and radical liberals who are the true racist? Publicly, liberals constantly profess their “love” and “affection” for the Black community yet have the most racist track record around. One need look no further than Washington,... [Read the full story]

Just Shut Up Already, Facebook (aka… Mark Zuckerberg).

(ThyBlackMan.com) Everyone grew up with someone who obnoxiously would recount everything you’d just gone through, to the people who were, like they weren’t – “Did you see that chick who started talking to you?” Yeah, I was talking to her. “My God, she just walked right up and started talking to you!” For some reason, Facebook thinks commercials feature people like this is a good way to... [Read the full story]
