(ThyBlackMan.com) “They’re not serious about the exploitation of college athletes, protecting their health, safety and ability to share in the enormous profits that’s being created because of their sweat and labor … There’s no industry or activity in America where this much wealth is created and the people that actually create the wealth are not seeing the kind of benefits or protections they deserve.” — U.S. Senator Cory Booker College sports […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) “You may have watches, but we have the time.” I remember being told this aforementioned quote while I was serving in the Middle East in combat operations. I think it is quite obvious that to which the maxim alludes, it is about strategic patience and resolve. Islamists, and especially the number one sponsor of Islamic terrorism, Iran, are focused on a long game, not a few weeks. It is […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) One recent night I watched several LAPD cars blow through one of the busiest intersections in South L.A. with lights flashing and sirens going full blast. Some cars abruptly stopped. Others jerked quickly to the side of the road. Others almost collided with one of the police cars. The cars were likely involved in one of the hot pursuit car chases later reported. Luckily there were no collisions or […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Two of the most well-known figures in California are UCLA women’s basketball head coach Cori Close and Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James. Close just led her Bruins team to its first NCAA women’s basketball national championship in program history following a 2025-2026 women’s college basketball season in which they lost only one game. James, arguably the most famous active athlete on the planet, has to pick up more […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) During a private Easter luncheon at the White House, President Donald Trump made his position on child care funding unmistakably clear. He told attendees that he told Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought: “Don’t send any money for day care, because the United States can’t take care of day care. That has to be up to a state. We can’t take care of day care. We’re a […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) It seems contradictory that an adult would make a concerted effort to instill in a child the ideas of correct behavior, playing by the rules, and exhibiting good sportsmanship. Yet they fail to practice what they preach when they choose to play by their own one-sided rules in certain situations. Rather than abiding by the established norms, procedures, and regulations set in place for everyone to follow, they prefer […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) It appears that folks living in the gently rolling farmland of southwestern Ohio don’t want a 2-million-square-foot data center plopped down the road from their front porches. What’s wrong with them? Are they snotty not-in-my-backyard liberals? Not quite. Wilmington, Ohio, is a very Republican region marked by modest incomes. Such demographics may have made the locals, and other rural Americans, look like an easy sale to the tech companies […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) When people say to me, “I don’t see color”, I usually ask if they have “seen” an optometrist. Colorblindness is a medical condition. While I believe that most people who utter those words mean well, they’re woefully misguided. In effect, they’re advocating for all of us to pretend that everyone is the same. This was never God’s intent; in fact, God intends the opposite. Thus, colorblindness is not only […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) There is always that moment in Hip Hop when the music fades and the streets start talking louder than the speakers. That moment don’t come with a beat, it comes with whispers, accusations, and paperwork. And right now, that moment belongs to Pooh Shiesty and Gucci Mane. The headlines say one thing. The streets say another. And the truth, like it always does, is sitting somewhere in the middle, […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) During a profanity laced rant on Easter Sunday, Donald Trump threatened to bomb Iran into the stone age, then he gave Iran an ultimatum, a deadline to open the Straits of Hormuz. Trump reiterated his threats again Monday providing an Eight PM Eastern Time deadline on Tuesday April 7th for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz and come to the negotiating table. The clock was ticking; there were rumors […]
