(ThyBlackMan.com) I’m not a big fan of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, but this week, he did something important that his predecessors had refused to do. On the eve of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, New York City released over 170,000 pages of documents about the toxic air quality levels after the Sept.11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center. The numbers are stunning: more people have died from the toxic […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) We and the world will always owe Haiti something special for its unique and singular contribution of breaking the back of enslavement in Haiti, expanding the realm of freedom in the world and then daring to aid others. Indeed, Haiti did for human freedom what the US founding fathers could not imagine or accept. And the French Revolution first outlawed enslavement in the country but not in the colonies, […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) It would be an understatement to simply say that our nation, both domestically and on the world stage, is in trouble. The United States remains a superpower and is very much respected around the world. Yet, its credibility is now being second-guessed. Its reliability as a NATO partner is also being questioned. For those who have been paying close attention, America’s decline has been gradual and subtle. In some ways, […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) I just came out of my home studio. I wrote a song called Laura Loomer Please Stop, for really complex reasons that had a lot to do with my life as a father to a daughter, Kathryn Cherise. She is a brilliant young woman and she has recently earned her PhD from the University of Maryland. I told her often that she should reach for the sky and she […]

Z-library supports this path by giving steady access to books across genres and fields. A reader can move from topic to topic with ease and build a structured routine that feels natural rather than forced. This steady rhythm inspires curiosity and sparks new ideas day after day.

(ThyBlackMan.com) New York City’s troubling decline in reading scores, despite one of the most ambitious literacy reform efforts in the nation, is a wakeup call for the entire nation. Across the country, reading achievement continues to decline. Nearly 40 percent of fourth graders read below the basic level and roughly a third of eighth graders are reading below basic, the highest share ever recorded. Taken together, these numbers reveal a national literacy […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The current regime in Washington will go down as the most insensitive, corrupt, inhumane and vindictive in the history of the nation. Some would also add most chaotic also to that list. Understandable, but wrong. What many have viewed as chaos may in fact be a well-orchestrated strategy to confuse, frustrate, deceive and exhaust the American people and the media into submission. There may be an element of method […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) As a little girl, I remember my mother taking her children’s hands, going into places, and being told, “You can come in, but they can’t.” My Mom held onto our hands and took us out of the place. I was born in Louisiana, but as a young person, I can remember a lot of situations I now know as racism. In many ways, Louisiana hasn’t changed. Louisiana has always been a place […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) So here is the mess that dropped this week, and I aim to give it to you plain. Journalist Rula Jebreal went on The Left Hook podcast with host Wajahat Ali and called Hakeem Jeffries an “AIPAC monkey.” Then she piled on with “errand boy.” Right after that came the line people keep quoting. “With all due respect, and I don’t mean it in a racist way.” The remarks […]
