Women’s History Month: The Economic Inequality Black Women Still Face.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Every March, Women’s History Month brings a familiar rhythm of celebration—panels, proclamations, and tributes to pioneers who shattered glass ceilings. Those stories matter. But if we are honest, the story of women in America cannot be told without confronting another truth: this nation has been built, quite literally, on the backs of Black women. From the earliest days of the republic, Black women’s labor has been both indispensable and invisible. Enslaved women worked fields, cooked meals, nursed children, and […]

America’s $56 Trillion Debt Warning: How Government Spending Is Driving the Affordability Crisis.

(ThyBlackMan.com) In today’s Washington, politicians are quick to give and slow to take. The result is a government that won’t push itself back from the table, even though it cannot afford the bill. And this insatiable appetite is fueling an affordability crisis that’s putting the American dream further out of reach for hardworking Americans. Recently, an independent budget watchdog group issued a sobering wakeup call: The U.S. national debt is on track to exceed $56 trillion within the next decade. […]

Trump’s Iran Strike Raises War Powers and Constitutional Concerns.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Donald Trump breaks every rule in the book, and he’s never read the book of rules. Time after time, Americans see he’s constitutionally unable to follow the Constitution. To wit, he, with Israel, just started a war on Iran that ricochets around the Middle East. Contrary to the War Powers Resolution and the Constitution, he did not seek approval from Congress. The deed was just done. Trump let loose the arsenals of winter, which assassinated Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah […]

Devout Christians: What Did David Mean by “What Is Man That Thou Art Mindful of Him?” (Psalm 8:4)

(ThyBlackMan.com) Sometimes a verse of scripture is so well known, so easily remembered and so often quoted, that it seems almost banal to focus on it, or examine it for study or meditation. Psalm 8:4 is one such verse; for who can misunderstand so simple and straightforward a scripture. The verse says, “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?” (Psalm 8:4) It is true that, “All scripture is given […]

Economic Stability Begins With Skilled Trades in Our Communities.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Economic strength within any community depends on practical services that keep daily life functional. While national debates often focus on corporate growth and political power, stability at the local level rests on dependable work that supports homes, schools, and small businesses. Skilled trades contribute to this foundation by maintaining the systems people rely on every day. When infrastructure operates without disruption, families can focus on employment, education, and long term planning instead of emergency repairs. In many Black communities, […]

State of the Union Sparks Debate Over Constitutional Duty and Immigration Law.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Last week in his State of the Union address, President Trump asked a question that truly should be pondered at a deeper level. When he asked the simple question, “Stand if you believe that the duty of the government is to protect American citizens over illegal aliens,” the response was telling. Not a single left-of-the-aisle member stood, of those who did attend the SOTU address. We obviously know that for those who did not attend, their answer was clear. […]

From Martin Luther King Sr. to Jesse Jackson: The Urgent Call for Intergenerational Leadership.

(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 – man or woman – regardless of their position on […]

When a Crash Becomes More Than a Traffic Issue in Our Communities.

(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 family members who may need to provide support. In many […]

Jesse Jackson’s Death Does Not Deserve Media Coverage.

(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 digress! What is not stupid is to notice the lack […]
