(ThyBlackMan.com) I will not make a habit of defending Gov. Rick Perry. I promise. It would not be in either of our best interest — certain to cause some of his supporters on the right to question further his conservative credentials, and most assuredly making my liberal friends wonder about ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) As I prepare to write this, I reflect upon the year 2004. It was the first year I was eligible to vote. I specifically remember the state America was in. We were a nation at war with enemies foreign and abroad. Our nation’s national security was essentially the most ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Someone told me recently she liked reading my blog but it seemed like everything I wrote about was race. I guess I’m going to live up to that person’s perception today. Admittedly, I write from the perspective of a black woman, so I can’t help notice these type of ...

(ThyBlackMan.com) I was beginning to think there was hope for Herman Cain. In recent weeks his campaign had begun to take flight as he doubled down on his conservative values. Cain isn’t a man of nuance. If he was against it yesterday, he’s against it today. If he says it, ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) It pains me to write this article. It really does. Being that Herman Cain made such a fine pizza, and pizza happens to be my favorite food I had a crisis of conscience. But alas, my rationalism outweighed my taste buds, and so I have to take a brief ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Riddle me this, what will it take for Obama groupies to take their heads out the sphincter of the President and what will it take for Tea party groupies to take their heads out of the same opening of the Tea Party? Is it just me or am I ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Yesterday’s announcement by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie that he will not enter the 2012 Republican presidential field likely broke the hearts of many journalists who have been pining after the overnight sensation.
