(ThyBlackMan.com) Sometimes a verse of scripture is so well known, so easily remembered and so often quoted, that it seems almost banal to focus on it, or examine it for study or meditation. Psalm 8:4 is one such verse; for who can misunderstand so simple and straightforward a scripture. The verse says, “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?” […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Economic strength within any community depends on practical services that keep daily life functional. While national debates often focus on corporate growth and political power, stability at the local level rests on dependable work that supports homes, schools, and small businesses. Skilled trades contribute to this foundation by maintaining the systems people rely on every day. When infrastructure operates without disruption, families can focus on employment, education, and long […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Last week in his State of the Union address, President Trump asked a question that truly should be pondered at a deeper level. When he asked the simple question, “Stand if you believe that the duty of the government is to protect American citizens over illegal aliens,” the response was telling. Not a single left-of-the-aisle member stood, of those who did attend the SOTU address. We obviously know that […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) There are two sports analogies we can use to exemplify the need for intergenerational unity within the Black community. The “next man up” mentality is a sports-driven philosophy emphasizing preparedness, resilience, and adaptability, where teammates are ready to step in and perform at a high level when a starter is injured or unavailable. It focuses on maintaining team performance without excuses, ensuring no significant drop-off in production. Every player […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) A traffic collision rarely ends once the vehicles are removed from the street. For many families, especially in communities already facing financial strain, the aftermath can stretch for months or even years. Missed work, medical appointments, vehicle repairs, and insurance disputes quickly turn what seemed like a brief moment into a prolonged disruption. The strain does not stay contained within one person. It reaches spouses, children, and even extended […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Two weeks ago, February seventeenth to be exact, Jesse Jackson died.  It was not a surprise as he had been sick for the past couple of years; but you still are surprised when death finally arrives. When a major figure dies within our community, Blacks are quick to monitor the amount of coverage the person receives from the “white” media.  I think this is stupid by Blacks, but I […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) One of the most contentious subjects relating to end-time events is this event, known as the rapture, and the contention has to do with two things in particular. First and foremost, the word “rapture” does not appear in the Bible, and secondly there is great debate as to when this event will take place. There is a third contention, which is not taken seriously by some Bible scholars, and […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The Epstein files have become a major distraction; they are being used by the powers who shouldn’t be to re/misdirect Americans’ attention away from other critical and pressing issues. Yes pedophilia, financial manipulation and fraud and government corruption/capture are extremely important issues but unfortunately, what we are seeing now is a form of national voyeurism and salaciousness propagated by the media. Other than Epstein and Maxwell no one else in […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) “If the stars were made to worship, so will I” (Psalm 147:4) There is a point, a space in time, somewhere above the clouds, but before the stars appear. Where the noise of our daily lives — drops away. And all that is left is a vast, empty, silent space where we are left with our own presence in that space. A silence that astronaut Victor J. Glover has […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) People hear about this condition all the time, but most folks do not actually understand what it is or what living with it feels like. What they know usually comes from jokes, television skits, or short clips online that reduce a complex neurological reality into a punchline. That surface level understanding does real damage, because it strips people of their humanity and turns a medical condition into something to […]
