(ThyBlackMan.com) “The rich should pay their fair share of taxes.” Who can argue with that? But then we must decide who is rich and what is meant by fair. Neither political party has distinguished itself in making such distinctions. But Republicans play an especially outrageous game in portraying the Internal Revenue Service as the working stiff’s enemy. For salaried workers, taxes come straight out of paychecks, meaning most are already […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Michael Harriot’s Black AF History reads like that sharp, hilarious cousin at the cookout who can rundown 400 plus years of American foolishness while still making you choke on your sweet tea from laughing. Its history told with the kind of cultural flow that feels like home…unapologetically Black, deeply researched, and delivered with a side?eye so precise it could slice through a turkey with ease.

(ThyBlackMan.com) When Amazon cuts 30,000 jobs and Black workers hold nearly 20% of the roles being eliminated while making up just 13% of the workforce, that is not a coincidence. That is a pattern. And it is accelerating. The layoffs are part of a broader AI driven economic shift that is already reshaping who works, who advances, and who is left behind. And by every measurable indicator, African American workers […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Jason Dozier, an American hero, represents District 4 on the Atlanta City Council. After graduating from Denison University, he joined the U.S. Army, serving as a reconnaissance officer in Iraq and Afghanistan. His service as an Army officer earned him the Army Commendation Medal and the Bronze Star.

(ThyBlackMan.com) I have been writing for decades that radical liberal Black Democrats are their own worst enemy.  It is even more pronounced when it comes to radical Black feminist female liberal Democrats.  They have been trained by radical liberal institutions to portray themselves as the perpetual victims of white supremacy and sexism. Exhibit A in this pathology is the myth of the disappearing Black woman from the work force, especially […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Tracy Deonn’s Legendborn is the kind of story that feels like it was written with Black readers in mind, even as it plays in the wide-open space of YA fantasy. It’s a book that blends magic, grief, identity, and legacy in a way that feels both familiar and refreshing. What makes it stand out isn’t just the fantasy twist—it’s the way Deonn centers a Black girl’s experience without apology, […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Greetings, I know that Joe Biden told me, and others, that we ain’t Black if we do not vote for him. That was, without a doubt, one of the most offensive and condescending assertions coming from someone running for president. Then again, Biden did eulogize Senator Robert “KKK” Byrd. I can confirm that I am indeed an American Black man. I state so each time I purchase a firearm […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Dogecoin and NFTs might seem like an odd couple at first, but if you take a closer look, their connection starts to make perfect sense. One began as a joke currency featuring a Shiba Inu meme. The other transformed the idea of digital art ownership into a multibillion-dollar phenomenon. And now, the worlds of Dogecoin and NFTs are slowly colliding—with some fascinating possibilities for meme lovers, collectors, and crypto […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) There are many days where we honor men, but just one week to honor women’s contributions. This Women’s History Month I’m sharing with you a bit of Mayor Johnny Ford’s mentions of some of the history of Black women that his organization, the World Conference of Mayors and he did to honor women, especially highlighting Black women. I was so pleased with this rarity that I decided to share the resolution […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Marion Orr’s House of Diggs is the kind of political biography that feels personal, especially for Black readers who understand how deeply representation, power, and community are intertwined. This isn’t just a story about a congressman; it’s a story about a man who carried the hopes of Black Detroit, the weight of the civil rights era, and the complicated reality of being a Black leader navigating a system never […]
