Why Comparing Black Americans to Monkeys Is Not Satire but Racism.

(ThyBlackMan.com) There are moments in American history when cruelty is not accidental—it is strategic. Recent reports that the president circulated or endorsed a video depicting former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama as monkeys, followed by a refusal to apologize or disavow the imagery, belong to a long and poisonous tradition in this country. It is the deliberate dehumanization of Black people to justify harm, exclusion, and control. Why monkeys? Because in America, likening Black people to animals […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Why would the President of the United States post a video of former President Barack Obama and the former First Lady Michelle Obama as monkeys?

The president should remove it.” He didn’t. The White House acknowledged that the president posted it. […]

Animal House Generation Growing Up Wild and Rebelling Against Authority.

(ThyBlackMan.com) I am built differently. Cats of my generation are built differently, too. We came out of the mud, with no seatbelts required in cars and no helmets required to ride a bike. We were the four-square, stickball, and marble-playing generation, where every boy took a spinning top to class each day in elementary school. Compared to current standards, that was who we were.

Black Men: Hold Down the Family House or Build a New One.

(ThyBlackMan.com) We’re taking a trip down memory lane, fellas. I hope your long term memory is still sharp—or at least decent enough to remember parts of your childhood. Growing up, was your street an old street? Were there a lot of elderly folks who knew your family? Growing up, the street I lived on had a number of seniors who knew my mother when she was a kid.

But he […]
