(ThyBlackMan.com) When most people think of Tina Turner, they jump straight to the classics—“Proud Mary,” “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” “The Best.” And look, I get it. Those songs are iconic for a reason. But if you’ve only stuck with the hits, you’re honestly missing out on some of her most soul-stirring, daring, and emotionally raw music. Tina was never just a powerhouse performer—she was a masterful storyteller, […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Tevin Campbell’s voice can stop you in your tracks. It’s rich, emotional, and somehow feels both effortless and deeply personal. He had a way of delivering a lyric that made you believe every word—like he was living the story right alongside you. Many of us first heard Tevin during our most formative years—first loves, heartbreaks, or those unforgettable slow dances that still linger in memory. And while “Can We […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Lionel Richie gave us unforgettable hits like “Hello,” “All Night Long,” and “Endless Love.” But the deeper you go into his discography, the more you uncover songs that feel even more personal, more spiritual, and—dare I say—more timeless. Some of his most emotionally resonant work didn’t climb the charts or get constant radio play. These tracks weren’t made for the spotlight—they were made for the soul. They reflect a […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) America’s debt-addicted government just lost its triple-A credit rating from Moody’s, as it previously had from fellow rating agencies S&P and Fitch. Many in Washington shrugged the move off as minor or as unfair treatment of the Trump administration. The truth is more sobering: a flashing red signal that the United States is no longer seen as a “perfect” credit risk and that politicians should stop pretending economic growth alone […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Malcolm X, the fearless leader that the actor and activist Ossie Davis described as one of Harlem’s “brightest hopes”, the “stormy , controversial ad bold young captain”, and most movingly “our own Black shining prince.” would have been 100 years old on May 19.  People commemorated that birthday in Harlem, at the Charles Wright Museum in Detroit, at Malcolm X college in Chicago, in his Omaha birthplace, and in […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) There are artists who play instruments, and then there are artists who seem to become the instrument. Billy Preston was the latter. The first time I heard his fingers dance across the keys, it wasn’t just music—it felt like a conversation with something higher, deeper, and far more joyful than most radio hits dare to reach. He wasn’t just a session player or a sideman (though he played with […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) First off, let’s drop the Republican claim that not extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts is a tax increase. Many of these tax cuts were purposely designed to expire and for a sneaky reason. Making them permanent would have hiked the bill’s cost by more than $1.5 trillion over 10 years. Add to that the interest payments tied to the higher borrowing, and the number rises to $2 trillion. The […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Rural and remote operations, from agricultural activities to mining and infrastructure projects, often face a fundamental but frequently overlooked challenge: consistent and reliable access to water. Whether for irrigation, dust suppression, livestock hydration, or sanitation, water plays an indispensable role in keeping these projects operational and compliant with regulatory and environmental standards. Yet in regions where mains water is sparse or non-existent, ensuring an adequate supply becomes a logistical […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) I’ve come to wonder: Is it a requirement—or even a basic expectation—for someone running for public office in the United States to know what the laws of that position actually require? Ever since the orange man (Donald Trump) began operating our government with seemingly no knowledge of the laws—or worse, no interest in following them—those working for the Would-Be King have served him, not the people, allowing him to disobey with […]
