Praise 24/7 NO Today's Best Gospel
(ThyBlackMan.com) Growing up, somebody always told me soccer was the sport you picked when you couldn’t hang on the basketball court. Made me laugh every time. The cats I knew who could really go, the ones with touch and vision, were pure athletes. Quick feet, lungs that wouldn’t quit, a mind running three steps ahead of everybody else. I played in high school myself. Never a star, but I held my own, and that thing taught me young how fast […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) Closing out this month of celebrating Black Music, I would like to do some sankofa sharing of some essential sensitivities and thoughts about the meaning and magic of Black music. Although we celebrate June as Black Music Month, every day and hour is an open space for making and celebrating our music. We do it not only in writing, playing and performing of sounds and songs. But also, we do it in the way we live our lives, do […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) Yes, Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s socialist picks just knocked off some Democratic incumbents in New York City. They included surprising defeats, especially that of Rep. Adriano Espaillat, chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Espaillat lost to Darializa Avila Chevalier, whose social media swims with past calls to abolish the police, free prisoners and stop deportations for any reason, presumably including murder. It’s not like Espaillat’s district was dominated by the young professionals who flocked to Mamdani. His electorate is 52% […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) I have been watching this country choose its leaders for longer than I care to put in print, and if you do that long enough you start to notice the things that nobody says out loud. There is a quiet in American politics, a thing that lives underneath the speeches and the polling and the cable noise, and every so often somebody comes along who makes that quiet audible. Hillary Clinton did it. Kamala Harris did it again. Two […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) In today’s fast-paced business landscape, achieving and maintaining ISO certifications—such as ISO 9001 for quality management or ISO 27001 for information security—has become a critical trust signal. Historically, the path to compliance was dominated by traditional, manual auditing giants like BSI and SGS. While these legacy institutions offer established brand recognition, their methodologies remain heavily anchored in manual processes. Today, a new paradigm is emerging. Modern organizations are increasingly turning to technology-first solutions to streamline their compliance journeys. The […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) June is almost gone. Black Music Month goes out the door with it, and honestly there’s no better company to see it off than these two. People love to stand them back to back and make it a fight. Always have. It sells, I guess. Gives a morning show something to argue about between traffic and weather. But I’ll tell you, the longer you live with the records, the dumber that fight starts to sound. They weren’t fighting. They […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) I have been writing about politics long enough to remember when the idea of a Black family living in the White House was something folks only said in low voices, half dream and half dare. So when Michelle Obama walked through that door back in 2009, I watched the way an old man watches his granddaughter step onto a big stage. Proud, sure. Nervous too. Because I already knew what was coming for her. That kind of cruelty had […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) Contrary winds have been blowing across the path of Christians for centuries, and over those same centuries events have occurred that were capable of destroying one’s faith in God, or debilitating the walk and witness of believers to make them ineffective. But still the faith “once delivered to the saints”, to quote Jude 1:3, refused to lie down and die. People of different persuasions, philosophers, atheists, scientists, scholars, historians, communists, sociologists, and even some liberal theologians, are amazed, baffled, and […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) It is hard to see what President Donald Trump could have done differently. He faced the usual Trump Derangement Syndrome from his political opponents. He faced resistance from those who oppose almost any military action abroad. He faced public frustration over rising gas prices — even though gasoline was higher under Biden and, adjusted for inflation, higher under Obama. He faced weak poll numbers and the possibility that Republicans could lose the House and perhaps even the Senate in […]
