(ThyBlackMan.com) The early voting returns show two unsurprising things. One is that black voters are turning out in smaller numbers in some areas than they did in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections.

(ThyBlackMan.com) I feel strongly that the Supreme Court needs to stand on the side of the American people, not on the side of the powerful corporations and the wealthy. For me, that means that we need a Supreme Court that will stand up on behalf of women’s rights, on behalf of ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) This country is about to elect a new President. The problem is both Trump and Clinton are awful choices for a variety of reasons.
