(ThyBlackMan.com) During the crack epidemic of the ’80s and ’90s, children exposed to crack cocaine before birth were often referred to as “crack babies.” Crack babies sometimes became boarder babies—babies abandoned at the hospital by parents who could not care for them. For months, hospital nurseries became temporary homes for many babies born to crack users. At the time, some babies would live in hospitals for as long as three […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) California Governor Gavin Newsom threw yet another monkey wrench into the seemingly never-ending debate within the California legislature and just about everywhere else on slavery reparations. Gavin tossed a bunch of amendments into a bill the legislature –that is the Democratic controlled legislature- was on the verge of passing. In response to criticism, Newsom said his concern was over cost. In other words, the state doesn’t have the money […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) I was always taught one of the greatest threats to individual, and community, progress was the limitations that we place on our minds. Once we decided something cannot be done in our head it’s almost a guarantee that we have lost the battle of learning a new thing. Limitations that are built within the mind almost always kill progress; while we may think it’s a personal thing… it filters […]

We have already established that each vision given to Moses began in the evening at sundown, maybe after 9:00 PM (it was the first day of […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Believe it or not, sports fans should be pumped about the start of the 2024 college football season. It’s already an historic season with a new 12 team College Football Playoff, the dynamic shifts of major college conference realignment adding teams to build mega conferences, and the absence of the greatest college football coach of all time, Nick Saban, who retired following Alabama’s playoff loss to eventual national champion […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) (**1/2) She sold her soul to the devil.  Now she wants it back. It was too good to be true. Frida (Naomi Ackie), a clumsy cocktail waitress at a classy fundraiser for rich folks eyes the main attraction. It’s tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum). Think Elon Musk, but handsome. They flirt. He seems attentive in a room full of women who are lusting after the richest catch they’ll ever find, […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Some parents like to say, “School is my kids’ job.” School is important, sure, but I preferred work to school as a teen. It gave me access to a seemingly adult world where I could learn job skills, hone communication skills and build confidence in my abilities. I’m not cut out for the classroom. I’m more of a learn-by-doing person. This made living according to grades hard. It felt […]
