(ThyBlackMan.com) Dogecoin and NFTs might seem like an odd couple at first, but if you take a closer look, their connection starts to make perfect sense. One began as a joke currency featuring a Shiba Inu meme. The other transformed the idea of digital art ownership into a multibillion-dollar phenomenon. And now, the worlds of Dogecoin and NFTs are slowly colliding—with some fascinating possibilities for meme lovers, collectors, and crypto […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) There are many days where we honor men, but just one week to honor women’s contributions. This Women’s History Month I’m sharing with you a bit of Mayor Johnny Ford’s mentions of some of the history of Black women that his organization, the World Conference of Mayors and he did to honor women, especially highlighting Black women. I was so pleased with this rarity that I decided to share the resolution […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Marion Orr’s House of Diggs is the kind of political biography that feels personal, especially for Black readers who understand how deeply representation, power, and community are intertwined. This isn’t just a story about a congressman; it’s a story about a man who carried the hopes of Black Detroit, the weight of the civil rights era, and the complicated reality of being a Black leader navigating a system never […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The 2026 SheBelieves Cup ended with the U.S. women’s national team winning the title while going 3-0 in the tournament. The most recognizable player on that team, Trinity Rodman, did not score during the game against Columbia that secured the title but she remains a vital figure in women’s soccer. Earlier this year, she signed a record-setting contract with the Washington Spirit of the National Women’s Soccer League, the […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) In the weeks after the U.S. and Israeli strikes began in Iran, the Trump administration continues to give Americans reasons to be alarmed about the leadership and direction of our nation. I was unfamiliar with the military’s use of the term “no quarter” until Defense Secretary Hegseth recently used it during a Pentagon press briefing about the ongoing war. Hegseth vowed, “We will keep pressing. We will keep pushing, keep […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) I know I preface a lot of what I write with “when I was growing up,” or “in my childhood.” But it is factual and rings poetic. In my early years, a movie called “Carwash“ came out. It is a 1976 comedy set over the course of a single day at a busy Los Angeles car wash called the “De Luxe Car Wash.” The workers include a mix of […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) No one, in his right mind, will ever be able to accuse God of being unreasonable. True, the word unreasonable can be bandied about, it can be in some cases nothing more than one’s subjective opinion, but rational people can determine when something is reasonable. God created this world, put us here to live and set the standards that he wishes us to live by and observe. It is […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Michael B. Jordan just took things to another level, winning his first Oscar for Sinners and reminding folks that this rise did not happen overnight. From his early days on The Wire to standout roles in Fruitvale Station, Black Panther, and the Creed films, he has put together the kind of career that demands respect. But beyond the awards and applause, what really makes him interesting is the way […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) For many years we have heard about Tuskegee airmen. A few years ago, we had the opportunity to see the movie Red Tails.  We were delighted in the fact that they were Black as they performed seemingly impossible feats.  Now may be a time for people wanting to be involved in the aviation industry to shine again.  The ones we saw in the movie were masters of their trade. Now, […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) In selecting Mojtaba Khamenei as its new Supreme Leader, Iran sent a strong message to the United States. Khamenei is the second-eldest son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who the U.S. and Israel killed at the start of their war against Iran. That message is, in the vernacular, a “one-finger salute” to Iran’s two primary enemies. Arguably, however, Iran’s leaders sent an even stronger message to their nation. That message […]
