Although I would like to attribute my noticing this decline to my entrance into the professorate, truthfully, my contemporaries have been discussing this decline in many ways, ranging from the droves of Black women […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) One persistent theme coming from the Democrats is that Trump, if elected a second time, would become a dictator and end democracy. For eight years, critics have called Trump an autocrat and likened him to the despised autocrats of the twentieth century, from Mussolini to Hitler. This rhetorical extremism is odd: Reagan and Bush were despised by Democrats, but they were not generally portrayed as threats to democracy. Nor […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.” I’d hear this in a few commercials from the Ad Council in the early 1990s. If you don’t know who they are it is an ad company that releases ads intended to deal with issues in society at the time.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Recent back-to-back financial enforcement actions taken by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) underscore why the nation’s sole agency dedicated to consumer financial fairness retains broad and strong voter support. On September 11, TD Bank, the nation’s 10th largest commercial bank with 1,200 branches and 2,600 ATMs in 15 states and the District of Columbia was ordered for the second time by CFPB to pay restitution to thousands of consumers for illegally tarnishing credit reports […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Last week, some of us took the time to remember that it was the 237th anniversary of our US Constitution, 17 September 1787.
