(ThyBlackMan.com) Last month, I had the chance to attend my alma mater’s 45th reunion. Besides the reminder of how old I have gotten, or how stiff my knees are, it was an enjoyable and memorable trip down memory lane. As with most college reunions, the university did not miss the opportunity to solicit donations from its graduates — giving that helps maintain the “margin of excellence,” as its marketing materials […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) It is a refrain which down through the years has been uttered by many. It underscored a belief, a hope, that the tough, unnerving, difficult  period that they were in would in time pass.  “This too shall pass.”  Usually in one form or another it did. Many Americans and others have been compelled especially over the last year and a half to utter in faith and hope that the […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Ashley, North Dakota, is a small farming town where the local diet leans hard on sausage, deep-fried chicken and strudel. It has something of a medical center, but the nearest trauma hospital able to handle the most serious injuries is almost four hours away in Fargo. Yet the elders in McIntosh County, with Ashley as its county seat, frequently live into their 90s, and sometimes beyond. It had the […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) I have lived long enough to know when somebody is talking with us and when somebody is talking at us. That is part of what makes the Donald Trump conversation so tiring. It is not always about whether a person likes the man, dislikes him, voted for him, prayed against him, or turns the television when his face comes on. A lot of the frustration comes from how people […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The San Antonio Spurs are not dead yet, and that is the one thing the New York Knicks did not want to hear after Game 3. After dropping the first two games of the NBA Finals at home, the Spurs walked into Madison Square Garden with their season leaning over the edge. One more loss, and this series would have felt almost finished. Not officially, but everybody watching would […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) We have a popular saying that goes something like this, “Rome was not built in a day” and we all have a good understanding what that means. The truth is that I do not know how long it took to build Rome, but I know that the entire universe, what we can see and that which is invisible, were created by God in six days. Almighty God, creator of […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Since its inception in 1997, the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) was never about expanding and promoting women’s basketball. It was always about the marketing and promotion of the homosexual agenda.  It was a brilliant move at first glance; but as with all things liberal, the NBA (the men’s league) and liberals took it too far! Most, if not all of the major sports leagues are controlled and run […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) One thing about us, we know our people when we see them. You can watch one Druski clip and before the skit even gets rolling good, somebody in the room will say, “That sound just like Ray Ray,” or “That’s Sister Johnson from church right there.” That is why his stuff works. He is not pulling strangers out of nowhere. He is taking faces, voices, habits, and foolishness we […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The Lord’s salvation is awesome. Every recipient of this experience becomes a new creation. Old things are passed away, the Bible says (2 Corinthians 5:17). People who once hated God fall in love with Him. One of the most fascinating things I witnessed during my years as a pastor is that through the life-changing gospel of Christ, even those whom society has given up on can find newness of […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Kamala Harris is one of those public figures I have had to sit with a little bit. I cannot say I ever looked at her and felt only one thing. There was some pride, sure, but there were questions too, and I do not believe Black voters should feel guilty for asking questions. Down South, you learn early that everybody smiling at you is not automatically for you, and […]
