(ThyBlackMan.com) As I read the commentary across social media, legacy media and the broader public discourse surrounding the latest deadly shooting in Minnesota, I see something deeper than disagreement over facts or law. I see a nation struggling to reconcile rights, authority, fear and accountability in moments when events move faster than judgment. Let’s begin with the Constitution and the Second Amendment. The right to bear arms is not granted […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Black men financial stress is something most of us know well, even if we do not always call it that. We feel it in our chest when the bills are due. We feel it in our silence when somebody asks how things are going. We feel it when we tell ourselves we are fine even though we are barely holding things together. For a lot of Black men, money […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Black men mental health awareness is not a trend, a moment, or a talking point meant to circulate briefly and disappear. It is not something that can be addressed with a few public service announcements or occasional social media posts. It is a lived, daily reality shaped by history, survival, silence, and expectation. For many Black men, mental health is something managed quietly, often alone, long before it is […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) For many Black Americans, Muhammad Ali was never just a boxer. He was a warning, a lesson, a mirror, and in many ways, a permission slip. He gave voice to thoughts many of our parents and grandparents carried quietly in their chests. He stood in public the way a lot of us were taught to stand in private. Unapologetic. Certain. Unmoved by white approval or comfort. Ali understood something […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Hip hop has always been political whether it wanted to be or not. From its earliest days in the Bronx, the culture spoke truth to power, chronicled poverty, resisted authority, and gave voice to communities ignored by mainstream America. Even when the music leaned toward escapism, the backdrop was always real. So when one of hip hop’s most visible and influential figures stands on a federal stage and calls […]

(ThyBlackMan.com)  Measles is a “cost of doing business,” says a highly placed official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I’d like to know what business that is. To be fair, let me finish the CDC principal deputy director’s quote. Ralph Abraham said that measles is a cost of doing business “with our borders being somewhat porous for global and international travel.” Thing is, the U.S. saw over 2,200 […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) From the earliest days of the Trump administration, Black Americans recognized a familiar pattern in American leadership—a pattern of betrayal, disregard, and selective loyalty that has long shaped their relationship with the nation. The warnings issued by Black America were not born of cynicism, but of hard-earned wisdom, rooted in centuries of navigating a country that often oscillates between indifference and hostility toward its most vulnerable communities. Black Americans […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) What is happening in Minnesota should be the kind of wake-up call for Americans who still fail to recognize the truth about this administration and need to understand the grave situation we face as a nation. We are seeing evidence that the abuse of power by Trump administration officials is far worse than we could have imagined—even for those of us who were prepared for what we experienced during the […]
