The message was clear: […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) There is a financial conversation happening quietly among Black men that does not always make the news, does not always show up in classrooms, and rarely gets explained in a way that feels honest.

(ThyBlackMan.com) There are conversations we avoid as Black men. Not because we are weak, but because we were raised to survive day to day.

(ThyBlackMan.com) The essential recommendation of close reading and critical reflection concerning history is one of those kinds of advice which is regularly given but infrequently followed. Indeed, we are taught by mind-molding media, contemporary concepts of mindfulness, and the relentless force of current events to focus on the here and now and to rid ourselves of worries and wondering inspired and informed by the past and future.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges.

Somebody else made that happen. — Barack Hussein Obama “We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” — NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani This is the year that we celebrate the 250th anniversary of […]
