(ThyBlackMan.com) A quiet kind of exhaustion has settled inside countless Black men across America. You can spot it in tired eyes during long grocery lines, inside forced laughter at family cookouts, or within silence during late night drives home after another draining shift. Plenty of folks assume toughness means somebody feels nothing, yet many brothers carry emotional weight heavy enough to crush concrete. They keep moving anyway because survival taught […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) This is the Trump era, which means if you blink, you will miss another shattering example of unabashed corruption. I don’t usually write about the same topic twice in a row, but the latest revelations of Trump’s wanton, shameless profiteering from the White House cannot go unremarked. The term “drain the swamp” will go down in history as a bitter irony. The latest outrage against the public — and […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) When news broke that Rob Base had passed away after a private cancer battle, a whole era of Hip Hop memories came rushing back. Before social media. Before streaming numbers. Before rap became so polished and corporate. Back then, records had to move people physically. A DJ dropped the needle, the room exploded, and if the crowd kept dancing, the song became immortal.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Several years ago, while I was speaking with one of my mentors, I showed him a church photo that was very disturbing to me. In the center of the picture was a person, whom I assumed to be the pastor, standing at the pulpit and shaking hands with another man.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Donald Trump is now an unpopular president. Some of this dissatisfaction is due to the war in Iran. Some of it springs from the unanticipated speed, chaos and perceived brutality of several of his administration’s actions over the past year and a half. But a significant part of his political problem has a straightforward economic explanation: Everything feels expensive, and his tariffs are a major reason why. If the […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) My grandmother was born in 1916 on the same red Virginia ground where her grandfather was born enslaved. She lived to one hundred and five. She carried the weight of what her family had been to my family, and what her family had been to itself, the way you carry a stone you cannot put down. When she died, the stone passed to me. I went looking. What I found […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) This week, President Donald Trump announced that he plans to give away tax dollars without congressional or judicial authorization to his friends and allies whom he believes were mistreated by the Biden administration. Can he legally do that? Here is the backstory. During the last year of his first term in office, Trump’s tax returns were stolen along with those of 425,000 others by an IRS employee who leaked […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Three days after President Donald Trump was elected to his second term, then-President Joe Biden’s Justice Department published a press release that included a statement by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland — and cited murderous acts Iran was allegedly planning to perpetrate inside the United States. “There are few actors in the world that pose as grave a threat to the national security of the United States as does Iran,” […]
