(ThyBlackMan.com) Kamala Harris is one of those public figures I have had to sit with a little bit. I cannot say I ever looked at her and felt only one thing. There was some pride, sure, but there were questions too, and I do not believe Black voters should feel guilty for asking questions. Down South, you learn early that everybody smiling at you is not automatically for you, and […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) I have heard this debate in barbershops, at cookouts, around card tables, and in those long talks where somebody swears they are not arguing while clearly arguing. Put Michael Jackson and James Brown in the same sentence and you are going to wake up somebody’s opinion. One person will say Michael was the greatest entertainer God ever placed on a stage. Another will say James Brown was the man […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The conversation around wealth-building in Black communities has always centered on ownership. Own the building, own the business, own the block. What has shifted in the last decade is what ownership actually looks like — and where the most accessible entry points exist. For a growing number of entrepreneurs, the answer is digital platforms, and the barriers to entry have never been lower. The traditional path to business ownership […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) When Barack Obama first started rising nationally, a lot of brothers paid attention immediately because something about him felt different. I am not even talking politics at first either. I am talking about the way the man carried himself. Calm. Sharp. Measured. The brother looked like somebody who thought before speaking. For many Black men, especially those of us who grew up watching negative images of ourselves blasted everywhere […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) One thing I had to learn the hard way is that a brother can be doing everything people asked of him and still not know how to enjoy his own life. That sounds strange until you have lived it. You can get up early, go to work, keep gas in the car, help your children, check on your mama, pray over your house, and still feel like you are not […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Each of us differs in terms of our aspirations in life. I find it difficult understanding how some people are so passionate about things that I find utterly boring. I am sure there are many who feel the same way about the things I love in life. The truth is that God has placed different dreams and desires inside each of us, and that’s what makes us tick. I […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Every day highly paid script/copy readers, shills, propagandists and sycophants purport to tell us the “news” however, what they are really doing is gaslighting and lying to us. Sure, some of the events they “report” are factual especially the local occurrences: fires, accidents, community events etc. but overall, the news is intentionally designed and presented from the perspective of the owner and managerial classes who need to keep us […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Horrors. The profiteers running this year’s World Cup are forcing fans to shell out thousands for a single ticket. But they’re not. FIFA, which oversees the once-every-four-years soccer tournament, is slapping astounding prices on the tickets. No one has to buy them. This should be very obvious. That said, some products are priced in ways that understandably bring out villagers with pitchforks. Bread in 18th-century Europe, for example. Rapidly […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) America’s longest current criminal prosecution is in its 15th year, on its fifth judge, and still has no trial date. The defendants are Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and four alleged mass murder co-conspirators. Mohammed is the second person that the government has characterized as the ringleader of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Originally, the feds had labeled Osama bin Laden as the ringleader. Yet, rather than charging and arresting […]
