(ThyBlackMan.com)  When people, that do not have faith, wrestle with the concept of God, they usually convince themselves that they are doing okay, that is, until they stumble over an immovable object in their path; Jesus Christ.

(ThyBlackMan.com) There’s no mystery why Zohran Mamdani wanted to get along with Donald Trump. The president threatened New York City with funding cuts, deployment of federal forces and other unpleasantries if its voters elected the self-described democratic socialist as mayor.

(ThyBlackMan.com) The Stanford University Three Strike Project in a report found that Blacks get a much harsher sentence than whites for the same crime. This is hardly the revelation of the ages for many criminal justice reform advocates.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Is it wrong to ask why God allows bad things to happen? It’s an age-old question that a lot of religious people find to be inappropriate. In fact, that’s just one of many questions that millions of us were taught to avoid when we were children. E.
