Shayla Elkins, 5; Kayla Pugh, 6; Layla Pugh, 7; Markaydon Pugh, 10; Sariahh Snow, 11; Khedarrion Snow, 6; Braylon Snow, 5; and Jayla Elkins, who was just 3 years old. Each of these women and all eight of these children died at the hands of men who were supposed to protect and provide for them in the last month. Unfortunately, these murders […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The instant Cole Tomas Allen was identified as the alleged would-be assassin apprehended outside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner one thing immediately caught my eye. Allen got his graduate degree from the same university where I got my graduate degree, Cal State University Dominguez Hills. It’s a California university with high academic and professional standards and ratings. That was just the first of several other things about him that […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Few people would openly admit it but few of them are happy. It is almost unheard of for someone to admit he or she is unhappy, especially if they are in a relationship. And with respect to marriage, this ideal of bringing people together in a loving, productive bond, happiness seems to be as elusive as the proverbial gold at the end of the rainbow. Everybody wants happiness and […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The predictable backlash against the Michael Jackson biopic came fast and furious. Many critics either panned the film or savaged it. There isn’t much middle ground. But that’s no surprise. It was that way with Michael for many of his later years. You were either wildly enthralled by him or wildly repelled by him. Many of the anti “Michael” the film critics are ticked off because it paints a […]

In our aqua-blue kitchen, she had the lyrics, in white paint, “Holy Mary, dressed in blue, teach me how to pray.” She prayed without ceasing, and her prayers were deep and strong. I went to a Jesuit college, Boston […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) With the new biographical film Michael now in theaters, a fresh generation is once again being introduced to the power, mystery, and brilliance of Michael Jackson. No matter how many years pass, his catalog remains alive because it was built on melody, rhythm, drama, and emotion. Michael did not simply make songs. He made moments. What separated him from many stars was how complete the vision always felt. The […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) With the recent orgy of accusations surrounding former Congressman Eric Swalwell, I have concluded that radical feminist women are the problem, not Swalwell. Swalwell and I have had many interactions over the years.  We are by no means friends or even acquaintances; but my interactions with him did not give me a warm and fuzzy. I found him to be extremely arrogant, condescending and thoroughly full of himself. With […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) If the reports in your prompt are accurate, then America just got another reminder that political tension can turn dangerous in a matter of seconds. A sitting president being rushed out of a public event after a shooting scare is not just a headline. It is a warning sign about the climate of the nation, the anger in the culture, and the rising risk attached to public leadership. When […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) One of the more amusing things about sports are some of the creative and unique athlete nicknames. While many athlete nicknames today are a shortening of the athlete’s first and last name like “A-Rod” for NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers or “KD” for NBA forward Kevin Durant, some nicknames are more creative like “Sexy Dexy” for the biggest and newest Cincinnati Bengal, defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, known for his famous […]
