Yes Why You Need To Be Careful Who You Kiss.

Tweet (ThyBlackMan.com) Knowing a potential significant other’s sexually transmitted disease status is mandatory these days. But is there even more to be concerned about? It seems as though before you even kiss goodnight, you may want to check your date’s dental records.

Mitt Romney and the NAACP: A Missed Opportunity.

Tweet (ThyBlackMan.com) As anyone who has followed me knows, I have been extremely critical of President Obama’s non-engagement with the Black community. Obama has deliberately ignored the plight of the Black community while giving preferential treatment to the homosexual and Hispanic communities. But I can’t in good conscious criticize Obama and... [Read more...]

Ok Black Woman… Hate Yourself…

Tweet (ThyBlackMan.com) Every morning I wake up and wonder why I don’t hate myself. It’s been a feat these 25 years to not loathe what I see in the mirror especially when everything around me is telling me I’m not good enough the way I am. I turn on Disney and the youngest stars are subliminally encouraging me to succumb to the Indian Remy. Flaunting,... [Read more...]

Black Men: It all Comes Back To Us!

Tweet (ThyBlackMan.com) I’m going to get right to it, brothers we are seriously slipping, we are slipping in our homes (if we are not still with mama), we are slipping with our kids, we are slipping with our women, and last but not least, we are slipping with ourselves.  The year is 2012, technology is steady advancing, our kids are steady growing,... [Read more...]

Yes The Missing Conversation on Race, Sex & The Economy.

Tweet (ThyBlackMan.com) Two months ago I wrote a post on race, sex, and the economy as a way to get back into the writing fray after taking a two week hiatus for getting married. Since that initial post the news narrative has stayed centered around race, sex, and the economy and how all three of these touchy topics relate to our current political scene.... [Read more...]

Wayne Brady, Bill Maher Black Man, Black Man Jokes?

Tweet (ThyBlackMan.com) Depending on whom you ask, Wayne Brady should or should not have taken exception to being used as fodder for the “non-threatening Black man” joke. Also depending on whom you ask, the oft-used joke by Bill Maher should be considered less of an insult and more a compliment, in that Wayne Brady is not emblematic of the negative... [Read more...]

The Elephant in the Room: Mitt’s Mormon Faith.

Tweet (ThyBlackMan.com) If you remember during the 2008 Presidential election, there was a strong effort to try to expose the faith of then Senator Obama. Many tried to label him an extremist because of his connection with the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright. I am curious to know if Mitt Romney will receive the same type of treatment given the lack of knowledge... [Read more...]

Does Education Level The Playing Field For High School Age Black Men?

Tweet (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,... [Read more...]

The GOP Latest Movement: Voter Suppression.

Tweet (ThyBlackMan.com) The latest strategy of the GOP throughout the nation is to hi-jack the upcoming presidential election. It is very suspect that the GOP is overly concerned about voter fraud when in most of the states that they are forging this issue have little to no evidence of fraudulent voter practices.  Conveniently the population mostly... [Read more...]

Lebron James: Rare Champ in Black Financial Independence.

Tweet (ThyBlackMan.com) Lebron James now has the ring he’s been seeking for a long time.  But there is another way in which he stands out from the mass of Black athletes: he is harnessing his own financial prowess instead of passing it all across to the white corporate establishment. Most of us do not understand that there is a game behind the games... [Read more...]
