(ThyBlackMan.com) The fight for fairness will never be easy. Fairness is the quality of making impartial, just, and equitable decisions, free from bias, discrimination, or dishonesty. It involves providing equal opportunities and adhering to fair rules, often balancing individual circumstances to ensure just outcomes. It means making decisions by being open-minded and objective. When people say they are anti-DEI, they are telling us they do not believe in fairness. They […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Last Saturday, millions of Americans took to the streets under a simple banner: “No Kings.” More than 3,000 protests were organized across the country. Demonstrations filled not only the expected places—Washington, New York, Chicago—but also towns that rarely see political marches: Midland, Michigan; Casper, Wyoming; McMinnville and Tillamook, Oregon. In communities like these, residents gathered in parks and town squares carrying handmade signs and a message that sits at […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) As my followers know, I have been and am very critical of my Black community, especially the media appointed Black leaders and organizations. We face a myriad of problems in the U.S. and within the Black community. One of the biggest problems facing America is that we have been “misdiagnosed” not only by our political leaders, but also by our governing institutions. If you are misdiagnosed, you will be […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) In August 2022, seven officers from the Adams County Sherriff’s Office in Ohio executed a search warrant on the home of the Grammy-nominated rapper known as Afroman. Afroman was not home at the time, though his wife and young children were. The home’s security cameras recorded the officers’ actions. The warrant was granted in order to find evidence of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, drug trafficking, and even kidnapping. The officers […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) When people talk about the greatest female groups in music history, TLC always sits at the table. Not on the side. Not in the hallway. At the table. What they did in the 90s was more than just hits on the radio. They changed how groups looked, how they talked, how they dressed, and how they spoke to young women and young men at the same time. They could […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The SAVE Act, a spinoff from the Denmark Groover playbook is highly reminiscent of a bygone era in political chicanery; indeed, it is a dangerous voter suppression bill. It would make it harder for Americans to register and stay registered—especially young, elderly, rural, and marginalized (minority) voters. If passed, it would: Require a passport or birth certificate just to register or update your information. Ban most online and mail […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) “The jury was bombarded with uncharged, unproven accusations, turning the proceedings into a trial of Mr. Cosby’s character.” That was the claim disgraced entertainer Bill Cosby made immediately after a jury awarded Donna Motsinger nearly 60 million dollars in damages in a civil trial loss in a Santa Monica, California court. He immediately announced that he would appeal. The hefty award was the latest in a seemingly never-ending parade […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) History does not whisper. It warns. Empires do not collapse because of a single moment of weakness. They erode from within, slowly hollowed out by overreach, moral ambiguity and the false belief that their power exempts them from consequence. The question before us is not whether America is strong. It is whether we are wise enough to endure the burden that comes with being the world’s lone superpower. Scores […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Recently, I drove from my father’s birthplace in Biddeford, Maine, to my mother’s birthplace in Petersburg, Virginia. Two different towns. Two different states. Two different regions. And yet, oddly, just different ends of the same sad street. Most Americans now live at the same address: “We live where there used to be a factory. And when it shut down, what shot up was joblessness, hopelessness, meth, opioids, homicide and […]
