(ThyBlackMan.com) There are two sports analogies we can use to exemplify the need for intergenerational unity within the Black community. The “next man up” mentality is a sports-driven philosophy emphasizing preparedness, resilience, and adaptability, where teammates are ready to step in and perform at a high level when a starter is injured or unavailable. It focuses on maintaining team performance without excuses, ensuring no significant drop-off in production. Every player […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) A traffic collision rarely ends once the vehicles are removed from the street. For many families, especially in communities already facing financial strain, the aftermath can stretch for months or even years. Missed work, medical appointments, vehicle repairs, and insurance disputes quickly turn what seemed like a brief moment into a prolonged disruption. The strain does not stay contained within one person. It reaches spouses, children, and even extended […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Two weeks ago, February seventeenth to be exact, Jesse Jackson died.  It was not a surprise as he had been sick for the past couple of years; but you still are surprised when death finally arrives. When a major figure dies within our community, Blacks are quick to monitor the amount of coverage the person receives from the “white” media.  I think this is stupid by Blacks, but I […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) One of the most contentious subjects relating to end-time events is this event, known as the rapture, and the contention has to do with two things in particular. First and foremost, the word “rapture” does not appear in the Bible, and secondly there is great debate as to when this event will take place. There is a third contention, which is not taken seriously by some Bible scholars, and […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The Epstein files have become a major distraction; they are being used by the powers who shouldn’t be to re/misdirect Americans’ attention away from other critical and pressing issues. Yes pedophilia, financial manipulation and fraud and government corruption/capture are extremely important issues but unfortunately, what we are seeing now is a form of national voyeurism and salaciousness propagated by the media. Other than Epstein and Maxwell no one else in […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) “If the stars were made to worship, so will I” (Psalm 147:4) There is a point, a space in time, somewhere above the clouds, but before the stars appear. Where the noise of our daily lives — drops away. And all that is left is a vast, empty, silent space where we are left with our own presence in that space. A silence that astronaut Victor J. Glover has […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) People hear about this condition all the time, but most folks do not actually understand what it is or what living with it feels like. What they know usually comes from jokes, television skits, or short clips online that reduce a complex neurological reality into a punchline. That surface level understanding does real damage, because it strips people of their humanity and turns a medical condition into something to […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Personal decisions rarely exist in isolation. Within Black communities, individual actions often carry wider meaning because they intersect with family stability, public perception, and trust in institutions. Choices made in ordinary moments can lead to long-term outcomes that affect employment, mobility, and reputation. This reality is not abstract. It plays out daily in neighborhoods where legal consequences ripple beyond the person directly involved and reach spouses, children, and community […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Maintaining a home has become increasingly complex as technology and building standards evolve. Homeowners now face numerous considerations, from energy-efficient upgrades to weatherproofing, that can directly affect the overall safety of their property. Attention to these factors is essential because even minor oversights in maintenance can escalate into significant issues that threaten the structural integrity of a home. Knowing which elements require regular checks and updates allows residents to […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) I’m gonna keep this brief. This is at the drop of a dime, and I have to write about this, or I will be in my feelings. So in this rant, you are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge. Often, I wonder if people on their anti-ICE and abolish ICE crusade have any compassion or concern about the lives of American citizens. I even wonder if […]
