(ThyBlackMan.com) The hypocrisy hovering over the NBA’s Kyrie Irving drama is scandalous an abomination. Not a word, that closely resembles anti-Semitic, flowed from Kyrie’s mouth.

(ThyBlackMan.com) I’m not into the business of telling people what to do. But I have daughters and god kids, and they sometimes come to me for advice. When it comes to the kids I love, I am what I would call a L.A.M.E. parent: I offer L-ove, A-dvice, a little M-oney ...
