(ThyBlackMan.com) As I try to understand public opinion in yet another presidential election year with former President Donald Trump as the Republican nominee, I see an anomaly. On one hand, the polls look very much like the 2020 and 2016 election results. Trump trails Vice President Kamala Harris by 1.9 percentage points in the RealClearPolitics average of recent polls, for example. That margin looks a lot like the 2.1-point popular […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) It looks like the fight between the Harris and Trump campaigns over Donald Trump’s appearance at Arlington National Cemetery is intensifying, not diminishing. Kamala Harris herself posted a statement on X using Trump’s visit to mark the third anniversary of the Abbey Gate attack as an opportunity to revive the “suckers and losers” slur against Trump. Trump, in turn, produced statements of support from several Gold Star families who […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) I’d be the first to admit I was really concerned about who Vice President Kamala Harris might choose as her running mate. I understood that her choice for VP would have to be very strategic. It would have to be someone that could be a balance to her, someone that shared progressive policy ideas, and someone who could help be a unifier. There were certain candidates she could not […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) During the 1960-70;s when the US government targeted Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Cambodia) to expand its imperialist and neocolonialist empire, there was great opposition to the wars in that region and someone asked the question, “what if they gave a war and no one came?” There was much resistance and noncompliance towards the war and military conscription. Protesters burned the American flag, men burned their draft cards, […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Since the end of the summer season in 1619, Black women of all ages across America have tried to convince anyone with a heart who would listen, observe, and think objectively that they, too, have value and are worth committing to. From the time that Black Women landed on American soil, their value has been minimized, marginalized, overlooked, and forgotten by American society at large, their local communities in […]

(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 […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Thank you to Pastor Apostle Mark A. Henton of the Monument of Faith Evangelistic Church, Chicago Ill, who served as the inspiration for this article. Hey y’all! Can you believe we might actually see a sister running things from the Oval Office? I’m talking about Kamala Harris and let me tell y’all, I’m hyped! But it’s not just about making history — our girl’s got some serious plans to […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) A Jewish rabbi, who believes in the truth of the Word of Yehovah, should know that God runs this universe by His own timeclock, and interacts with His chosen people by means of the seven appointed times (feasts) which He imposed upon Israel. 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 […]
