(ThyBlackMan.com) The internet’s always messy, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that Candace Owens thrives in the chaos. This time, she’s stirring the pot over rumors involving Beyoncé, Kamala Harris, and a $10 million payday—a rumor Tina Knowles swiftly shut down. But did that stop Candace? Absolutely not. Let’s dive into the latest drama, dissect the layers of shade, and explore how Beyoncé continues to rise above it […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Greetings y’all. One thing I love about the Bible is Jesus’ use of parables to tell a story about faith and the Kingdom of God. It is critical to convey a message in terms, metaphors, and relevant references that enable the audience to grasp the meaning clearly. As I reflect on the 2024 election cycle, which resulted in Republicans winning the Presidency and Senate and holding the House of […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Early on during Jim McDonnell’s stint as L.A. County Sheriff we had a private meeting. The issue was sheriff department reform, or rather lack thereof. McDonnell headed a department then that was top heavy with scandals. They included racist gang cliques, a jail under federal mandate to clean up its many documented prisoner abuses, lack of officer accountability, and the never-ending officer involved shootings of unarmed civilians. There was […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) America’s political system has essentially always been dominated by two parties, long before the Democrats and the Republicans morphed into their current iterations. At the nation’s founding, Jefferson and Madison led the Democratic-Republican Party, which competed for dominance against Hamilton’s Federalist Party.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Last night I had dinner with my good friend, Sir Winston Churchill.  He served as British Prime Minister during World War II.  He asked me, “Jackson, what is wrong with your people [referring to the Black community]?” He seemed perplexed by how Democrats interact with them, especially during election season.  He said, “Blacks were a riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.” So, I had to rationally explain […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) No jokes today because the cavalcade of folk running scared saying Trump will weaponize the DOJ and target his political enemies is full of shit. I can say this objectively without fear of retribution outside of words being hurled my way (sticks and stones) because it is true. Regular folk know the difference between revenge, retribution, and accountability. What we, the people, and hopefully, the incoming administration seek is […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) It’s time for Black Americans to take a hard look at our political strategy and start demanding more than symbolism and empty promises. If we continue down the path of blindly following party lines, we risk being left behind as the country moves forward. Despite shifting 21% to the right in recent elections, Black voters—especially Black women—continue to be the most loyal demographic to the Democratic Party. But why? […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Sean “Diddy” Combs, the music mogul and entrepreneur once celebrated for his industry-shaping influence, now finds himself at the center of a courtroom drama that rivals any of his hit records. Accusations of violating jail rules and manipulating his children to influence potential jurors have only added to the storm surrounding Combs, who remains incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
