(ThyBlackMan.com) There has been a push to boycott the NFL all season, and I understand the argument. I agree that the NFL needs to make serious changes, and they need to stand by their players where the fight for social justice is concerned. The NFL owners should be ashamed of themselves, ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., once falsely accused President Ronald Reagan’s CIA of all but causing urban cocaine dealing in the ’80s. She claimed that Reagan, by working with Nicaraguan drug dealers to defeat the communists running that country, colluded with them to created the urban drug epidemic. Never mind that ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) The sickening sight of smug sycophantic Republicans celebrating the passage of their tax bill on the White House lawn was the Scrooge-like move to drop a lump of coal into the stockings of the 13 million Americans likely to lose health insurance coverage thanks to the move. Of course, corporations ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) The original question the FBI investigation of the Trump campaign was to answer was a simple one: Did he do it? Did Donald Trump, or officials with his knowledge, collude with Vladimir Putin’s Russia to hack the emails of John Podesta and the DNC, and leak the contents to damage ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) My recent columns have focused on the extremely poor educational outcomes for black students. There’s enough blame for all involved to have their fair share. That includes students who are hostile and alien to the educational process and have derelict, uninterested home environments. After all, if there is not someone ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) I truly believe there is nothing more powerful than a black dad. It does not matter at what station you are in life, you are powerful beyond measure. All you must do is to receive that power and to act upon it. That action, however, begins as a thought; it ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) As a survivor of sexual assault, I do not take the subject lightly. I understand the pain, scars, and nightmares as I live with them. I stand in solidarity with the women, and men, that are survivors of this heinous act. It diminishes the fight we face when sexual crimes ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Yeah, I said it! White folks! You see, we tend to make everything black and white, until it time to talk about black and white standards of living. At that point, we’d rather digress into an argument over how we should identify ourselves in the United States of America which ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) In 2005 I washed my hands of what the Republican Party had become. Do not misunderstand; I remain a card-carrying Republican, but I pledge my absolute best to see the progressive Republican elites defeated. The final straw for me was George W. Bush lying to us to get re-elected in ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) One of my favorite shows to watch on television is TLC’s “Long Lost Family.” I’m not a sappy person by nature, but this show never fails to moisturize my tear ducts, shall we say. There’s an empowerment that comes from knowing your heritage, where you came from and whom you ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) I’m about to do something that I generally make it a point to avoid – discuss the collective nature of White folks. The reason I make it a point to avoid this subject is because I don’t want to add to the disinformation disseminated by many Black racists (oh yes, ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Diddy’s plans to buy an NFL team seem consistent with some Tweets that he posted in August in which he urged black people to follow Marcus Garvey and to achieve economic independence.
