Movie Review; Bad Boys for Life.

(ThyBlackMan.com) They first teamed up for Bad Boys in 1995, to great box office success. There was an encore in 2003, Bad Boys II, which was distinguished by incredible stunts. Now, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence go back to the same well one more time. Is there any water left? Michael Bay (Transformers, Armageddon) directed the first two films, with an over-the-top, over-produced style that seems... [Read the full story]

More “Black” Family Businesses Needed.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Only in the African-American family of today in America is it the norm that every family member is doing their own thing. That is not good, not at all. It is a sign of division. It is a reflection of a lack of understanding that the family should be united by purpose and vision as shared by the balanced, honorable and focused head of the family – the man with identity and purpose.... [Read the full story]

Rep. Ilhan Omar and Steve King: A Tale of Two Flamethrowers

(ThyBlackMan.com) Eighty-six percent of Democrats consider President Donald Trump “racist,” according to a July 2019 Quinnipiac poll. By contrast, 91% of Republicans do not consider him “racist.” Perhaps more disturbing, a November 2018 online Axios poll by SurveyMonkey found that a whopping 61% of Democrats believe Republicans are “racist/bigoted/sexist.” A comparatively... [Read the full story]

Congress’s Personal Disdain for ‘Donald Trump’ is Impeding National Security in Iranian Conflict.

(ThyBlackMan.com) What do the Iranian people, who have turned out in droves to protest their own government, know that many members of Congress don’t? They realize it’s their leaders who represent a grave threat to the future of their own country and world peace, not the president of the United States. Too many in Congress have let their personal disdain for President Donald Trump cloud their obligation... [Read the full story]

Beware of Bernie Sanders, Democrats.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Many don’t remember the deep resentment and consternation among Bernie Sanders’ supporters in 2016. I saw it with my own eyes in Philadelphia the night Mrs. Clinton formally accepted her party’s nomination. Bernie supporters were in the upper deck of the Wells Fargo Center holding “HILLARY” signs with letters blackened out to read “**LIAR*.”  They knew their party rejected... [Read the full story]

The Democrats Could Bern It All Down.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Communist curmudgeon Bernie Sanders is having his moment, threatening to actually win some of the early primaries and maybe even the nomination. This is bad, at least for the Democrats, since the idea of a weird crusty admitted socialist as their candidate is problematic – the problem being Americans aren’t insanely stupid enough to elect this guy president. We hope. Also note... [Read the full story]

The ‘African’ Divination Complimentary Ways of Knowing.

(ThyBlackMan.com) “Spirituality centered wisdom stands for both justice and dignity and it cannot be trivialized. It emphasizes philosophies of connectedness, coexistence, belongingness, love, and compassion in education. In the light of this understanding of spirituality, the African renaissance and pedagogy should be grounded in spirituality centered wisdom, cultural identity and consciousness..... [Read the full story]

Book Review; Diversity, Inc: Is Diversity a Real Thing.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Diversity is a term that makes sense when you look at is as having fair representation of the actual population in different spaces. This should be our expectation in education, housing, employment, and every other aspect of life. Black people, and POC in this country have been fighting to have the need for diversity to be recognized and acted upon. After many landmark lawsuits against... [Read the full story]

Book Review; Fathered While Fatherless: A Journey to Fatherhood.

(ThyBlackMan.com) The lack of a father in the home can be devastating for a child. We’ve heard all of the statistics about the trauma children face when they their father is not in their life, or even more so when they have no idea who he is. There has been extensive discussion within the black community about the effects this has on black boys. Anger, confusion, poor grades, violence, and a constant... [Read the full story]

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s hijab needs loosening.

(ThyBlackMan.com) The towel Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, wears on her head is apparently tied so tight that it’s causing a variant form of torsion, in which the oxygen is being shut off to her brain – thus restricting her already severely limited capacity to function on even a marginal level. For those inclined to disagree with me, let me point out that it doesn’t take above average mental... [Read the full story]

Unappreciated Crime Costs For All.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Criminal activity imposes huge costs on black residents in low-income neighborhoods of cities such as Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, St. Louis, Philadelphia and many others. Thousands of black Americans were murdered in 2019. Over 90% of the time, the perpetrator was also black. Leftists and social justice warriors charge that what blacks have to fear most is being shot and killed by... [Read the full story]

The Nancy Pelosi Legacy: A Barking Dog with No Teeth.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Dogs don’t bark because they’re brave, they bark because they’re scared. The same can be said for the current House Speaker. Afraid of a revolt among the even more left wing of her party, afraid of a president her party looks increasingly unlikely to defeat in November, afraid of domestic and international American success via an approach that does not comport with her more... [Read the full story]

Chasing The Dollar.

(ThyBlackMan.com) I’ve spent all of my adult life loving my family and pursuing knowledge and happiness. As a result, I’ve developed skills that people are willing to pay me to utilize on their behalf. Attorneys call me and offer to share a third of their fees to do legal research and brief writing for them, and I do many other things. I don’t even know how much money I have in the... [Read the full story]

Film Review; Underwater.

(ThyBlackMan.com) “Can you admit we must leave?” If your nervous, sweaty-browed commander asks you that, it’s time to flee. Tapping into imminent-danger fear is the cornerstone of any great thriller. Bring fright, or go home. Nothing in cinematographer-turned-director William Eubanks’ filmography (The Signal, Love) indicates that he’s capable of such a task. No evidence that he can create... [Read the full story]
