(ThyBlackMan.com) Richard Wright stands as one of the most significant literary figures of the 20th century. His works, deeply rooted in the Black experience, offer searing critiques of racism, systemic oppression, and the psychological turmoil of navigating a white-dominated world. Even in 2025, Wright’s works remain essential reading for those seeking a greater understanding of American history, race relations, and the enduring effects of discrimination. Here are six Richard Wright […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Seven years after he survived the Parkland school shooting, David Hogg may be on the verge of becoming a rising star within the Democratic Party. While the 24-year-old Harvard graduate is not widely known, that may no longer be the case given the trajectory of his young career. Hogg is president of Leaders We Deserve, a grassroot organization dedicated to electing young progressive candidates to Congress and state legislatures. […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The Eagles victory was greeted joyously in our family. It’s always a high when you (or your team) come out on top. But in the final minutes of the Super Bowl, as the clock remained stuck on the two-minute warning for what felt like 20 minutes (at least for those of us eager to pop the Champagne), former quarterback-turned-TV-commentator Tom Brady filled the air time with lugubrious thoughts about how […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Pity the poor Democrats – actually, don’t pity them because they are terrible people, and their sorry situation is purely of their own making. They got too used to being in charge, too used to ruling from their throne, and now that they have to get off it they have found that their spindly legs have withered and atrophied, so they hobble around, unable to stand fully upright. It’s funny for us, […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The basketball world was hit with unexpected news on Sunday afternoon when Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James announced he would not be participating in the NBA All-Star Game due to ankle soreness. The decision came just hours before tipoff, disappointing fans eager to see one of the greatest players in league history take the court once again. At 40 years old and in his 22nd NBA season (2024-25), […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Zora Neale Hurston remains one of the most important figures in African American literature and Black history. As a novelist, anthropologist, and folklorist, Hurston dedicated her career to capturing the voices, dialects, and stories of Black communities in the American South and the African diaspora. Her works are deeply rooted in Black history, offering a vivid portrayal of African American culture, struggles, and triumphs. Today, her books are essential […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Amidst the flurry of Executive Orders, the media’s responses to Trump’s bombastic statements, his cabinet nominees and “pop culture” distractions, we are missing the fact the miscreants and overlords are trying to replicate their fearmongering about the Bird Flu. There is an old saying, “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.” We need to take note of this saying and contemplate what this means […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Kid Rock has long been known for his loud, brash, and often controversial takes, particularly in the political sphere. So when he appeared on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher this past Friday, many viewers likely expected him to dismiss or even outright criticize Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show. After all, Rock has been one of the most outspoken conservative figures in entertainment, never shying away from […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) For Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro, his second appearance in the NBA Three-Point Contest was not just an opportunity for redemption—it was his moment to shine. After an early exit in his first attempt during the 2023 All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City, Herro returned to the competition with a renewed focus and came out victorious on Saturday night at the Chase Center in San Francisco. Herro’s journey to […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) I reckon that my take on the Democrat/NGO manipulation of USAID and extortion of taxpayer loot is not singular. Likewise, showboating to defend said manipulation and extortion is a symptom more profound than the antics displayed since the inception of DOGE—the Department of Government Efficiency. I was once told that Winston Churchill said; “Those who never change their minds, never change anything.” I do not know if he did […]
