(ThyBlackMan.com) In the house and senate races, Democrats are stealthily pouring tons of money early to demonize Republican candidates before our supporters become engaged. Once our candidate has been branded the spawn-of-Satan before campaigning really begins, it is extremely challenging to change voter’s perception of them. My wife Mary and I ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Over this past week there were news stories that exemplified the best, and the worst, of human behavior. As we applaud the best among us, unfortunately, we are reminded of the basest instincts and actions of people and nations as well. The Good: The rescue of twelve boys and their ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) The crusading journalist, Ida B. Wells was born on July 16, 1862. Although she made her mark as a journalist, she was also a social worker, advocate, feminist, and organization leader. She too often gets short shrift in history, mainly because she did not go along to get along with ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) I guess that the movement of school districts throughout the nation to begin scouring the nation for African-American males to populate their classrooms as teachers is at least a small admission that Black Male Teachers matter.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Kudos to Roland Martin, the pioneering journalist who has taken his departure from TV One and turned it into a digital platform. He’ll be back with a daily program, but he’ll be online instead of traditional media. He has financing from AFSCME, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) American leftists cannot restrain themselves from throwing stink-bombs at all things wholesome and good. July 4th, my wife Mary read two articles in which black writers scolded blacks for celebrating Independence Day. They claim us blacks have nothing to celebrate because we were not free in 1776. Why are leftists ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) What we are witnessing – the attacks on affirmative action, racial gerrymandering, voter suppression – is not an attempt at mere political realignment, but wholesale societal change. And to go nuts at each new outrage is to lose sight of the big picture. Affirmative Action: The most recent attacks on ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) “Here we go again!” A sad refrain but… In September 2016, race relations in America hit an all-time low when a white police officer in Tulsa, Oklahoma shot and killed Terence Crutcher.
