Saints Fans Have More Manners Than Most.

(ThyBlackMan.com) It seems sports can bring out the worst in some fans.  We all want our favorite teams to win, but the rivalries have become disrespectful and, in some cases, dangerous.

My People, Economics, Not Electoral Politics, Is The Key To Success.

(ThyBlackMan.com) At the risk of being accused of repeating myself, I will say once again that Black people who live in the continent of North America (aka USA) continue to recognize the importance of maximizing their economic potential.

Surviving R. Kelly – My Thoughts.

(ThyBlackMan.com) I’m not writing this article to defend sexual predators like R. Kelly because I have a deep seated hatred for sexual predators especially those in our community like R. Kelly. Sexual predators like Kelly are among the most hated of inmates in jail and prison because if you ask any other inmate in jail or in prison which type of inmate they hate the most, about 9 out of 10 of them... [Read the full story]

An Open Carry Moment in Walmart.

The Hypocrisy Surrounding the R. Kelly Debate My People.

(ThyBlackMan.com) I usually don’t write about salacious issues involving sex, scandal, and other issues I consider a waste of time; but because of the volume of calls and emails asking me to give my take on Robert Kelly, a.k.a.
