(ThyBlackMan.com) It’s so silly for Black people to fight over the Dems and Repubs, and it is counterproductive for us to be enslaved by either party. Between the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s we voted nearly 100% Republican. Now we vote nearly 100% Democrat. What has that gotten us besides ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Dear Republican Party: Hi. How have you been? When I was flipping through the television channels the other day I saw you. I sat down to watch. I listened. It’s been awhile since I let you back in. After we broke up it was hard for me because, well, ...
