(ThyBlackMan.com) I remember growing up, and the grown-ups had a saying for us fellas out roughhousing. “It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. A woman was shot and lost her life in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last week. The truth about the ending of her life is that it did not have to be so. The fact is that she was the victim of Leftist lawlessness. Her death is truly […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Once Oprah asked Prince why he lived in Minnesota and talked about how cold it is there. He told her he would always live there. She asked why. He said, “It’s so cold that it keeps the bad people out!”  Well, obviously he had no idea bad ICE gangsters would bust in uninvited!

(ThyBlackMan.com) The United States Postal Service is under attack again—and this time, the damage threatens both Black livelihoods and Black votes. The Postal Service is not just how we send letters. It is democratic infrastructure. It is also one of the largest employers of Black workers in the nation. Roughly 29 percent of postal workers are Black, more than double Black representation in the overall labor force. For generations shut out of private-sector […]

Those historians along with future political and social scientists may focus on and highlight his character, morality and temperament in their assessments and conclusions.
