Black Gospel Radio

(ThyBlackMan.com) Every young brother I know has heard the sermon. Buy the house. Stop throwing money away on rent. Build something you can leave behind. For years I preached that same gospel myself, standing in barbershops and cookouts telling nephews and coworkers that a deed was the closest thing to freedom a man like us could hold in his hands. Most of it I still believe. What I stopped believing […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) A little more than seven months have gone by since Kanye West bought a full-page advertisement in The Wall Street Journal and addressed it to everyone left wounded in his wake. That January statement was, on its surface, everything critics had asked of him for years. It started with his account of a car wreck in 2002. He said an injury to the right frontal lobe of his brain […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Somewhere along the way a lot of us convinced ourselves that a fat bank account and financial wisdom were the same thing. They are cousins at best, and distant ones at that. I got to thinking about this again while watching the whole Floyd situation unfold across 2026, because if anybody seemed capable of proving the connection between earning and keeping, it would be him. Let me rewind for the […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) There is a photograph in my head of Michael at his peak, tongue out, rising toward a rim that never seemed far enough away to stop him. Most of us carry some version of that image. It got burned into a whole generation. What fewer of us sit with is the quieter thing happening now, more than twenty three years after his final NBA game, where a person who […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) I have watched a lot of politicians stand at a podium and talk about the little man. Most of the time the little man they picture looks nothing like me, my nephews, or the fellas I came up with back home. So when Vice President JD Vance gets up and mourns forgotten workers, shuttered plants, and hard times in Ohio, I listen. But I listen the way an old […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) There are some things we never give a second thought because our nation has timeless traditions that are easily taken for granted. The 61st U.S. presidential inauguration will occur on Saturday, January 20, 2029, and tradition has it that the incoming and outgoing presidents meet at the White House before traveling together to the Capitol for the formal swearing-in ceremony. The customary practice was broken when Donald Trump, at the end […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Most of us learned early that a paycheck was the whole point. You show up, put in your hours, and Friday the direct deposit lands. That money keeps a roof up and food on the table. For a long stretch of my life, that felt like the entire arrangement. Nobody around my kitchen table ever separated getting paid from holding onto something once the work was done. Tyler Perry […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The national debt has passed $40 trillion—that is $40,000,000,000,000, a number with more zeroes than most of us can comfortably count. The Congressional Budget Office projects a federal deficit of $1.9 trillion this year. We will spend more than $1 trillion simply paying interest on the debt—money that cannot be spent repairing bridges, educating children, housing families, or providing health care. The numbers are sobering. But whenever politicians start hyperventilating about […]
