Praise 24/7 NO Today's Best Gospel
(ThyBlackMan.com) Life in America doesn’t feel like life right now. It feels like triage. People get up, commute, grind through work, juggle kids and side hustles, scroll through their phones in bed until their eyes burn, then do it again tomorrow. They are surviving, but they are not living. The numbers explain why. The average American now carries around $100,000 in total consumer debt once you add mortgages, credit cards, […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) Nick Fuentes is one of the most controversial political figures to rise from the American right in recent years, and his emergence cannot be understood in isolation. He is not simply an internet provocateur, nor is he a traditional political leader shaped by party institutions. He is a product of a political era defined by generational frustration, cultural conflict, and a growing distrust between voters and established leadership. To […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) When it comes to singing about love, very few artists have ever done it as honestly as Mary J. Blige. From the moment her voice hit the airwaves in the early nineties, it was clear she was not interested in fairy tales. Mary sang about love the way people actually experience it. With hope, pain, passion, doubt, forgiveness, and growth all living in the same space. Mary J. Blige […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) Factually, the United States economy is not enjoying a full employment economy, as President Donald Trump implies by presenting the official rate of unemployment for November, as 4.6%. Trump stating the nation’s unemployment rate is 4.6%, means 95% of United States’ workers, are fully employed. The estimated size of the U.S. work force is, 170 million people. Investopedia, a highly regarded financial educational web site, which states their experts offer more than 250 years plus of combined experience to ensure they are giving readers […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) I remember in February 2002 when former SecDef Donald Rumsfeld came up with this logic, “As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know.” At that time, I was a […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) America stands between two evils, and the truth is blunt enough to bruise: If Trump’s birther-style executive order that is now before the Supreme Court were carried out, millions of longtime residents—many of them Latino, African, Caribbean, and Asian—would suddenly be reclassified as “non-citizens,” and candidates for deportation, even though they were born and raised here. The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) found that “ending birthright citizenship for U.S. babies […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) The soul and funk world lost a true original with the passing of Carl Carlton. While his name may not always be the loudest in mainstream retrospectives, his voice and grooves have lived quietly and powerfully inside the culture for decades. Carlton was one of those artists whose music never needed constant explanation. You heard it, you felt it, and you understood it. With his death, there is a […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) The Trump administration has announced it is appropriating twelve billion dollars to provide aid to the US agricultural industry as a means to offset their loss of foreign sales. While this is good news to US agribusiness it obfuscates the real reasons they are suffering, Trump’s bonehead tariffs and trade policies. Trump imposed unilateral and universal tariffs on numerous countries around the world to Make America Great Again, to restore […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) When people talk about LeBron James, the conversation usually starts with points, championships, longevity, or debates about where he ranks all time. That is understandable, but it is also incomplete. LeBron is more than a basketball player. He is a product of a particular American moment, a particular Black experience, and a long historical line of public figures who had to grow up fast while the whole world watched. […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) The phrase ‘I hope it was worth it’ is one that most Black men and people in general have encountered at least once in their lives. As you read this article, somewhere in the United States of America, a Black man has just heard that imposing phrase, “I hope it was worth it.” Why have Black men become accustomed to hearing the words ‘I hope it was worth it’?
