(ThyBlackMan.com) War is a serious matter, not a joking one or an “I don’t care one”). In recent weeks, we’ve witnessed men sitting around joking about war, a war in which hundreds of people have been killed. Many are denied the right to vote by coming up with unnecessary new rules to disqualify them. You might say we have a war on voting! Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu got together […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) “The SAVE Act is not an election security bill — it is a voter suppression bill, full stop … The CBC will not sit back while extremists continue to strip away access to the ballot box for our communities, and we are calling on every Senator to reject this assault on our democracy and stand up for the integrity of our elections.” — Congressional Black Caucus  Analysis after analysis shows that […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The fight for fairness will never be easy. Fairness is the quality of making impartial, just, and equitable decisions, free from bias, discrimination, or dishonesty. It involves providing equal opportunities and adhering to fair rules, often balancing individual circumstances to ensure just outcomes. It means making decisions by being open-minded and objective. When people say they are anti-DEI, they are telling us they do not believe in fairness. They […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Last Saturday, millions of Americans took to the streets under a simple banner: “No Kings.” More than 3,000 protests were organized across the country. Demonstrations filled not only the expected places—Washington, New York, Chicago—but also towns that rarely see political marches: Midland, Michigan; Casper, Wyoming; McMinnville and Tillamook, Oregon. In communities like these, residents gathered in parks and town squares carrying handmade signs and a message that sits at […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) As my followers know, I have been and am very critical of my Black community, especially the media appointed Black leaders and organizations. We face a myriad of problems in the U.S. and within the Black community. One of the biggest problems facing America is that we have been “misdiagnosed” not only by our political leaders, but also by our governing institutions. If you are misdiagnosed, you will be […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) In August 2022, seven officers from the Adams County Sherriff’s Office in Ohio executed a search warrant on the home of the Grammy-nominated rapper known as Afroman.

(ThyBlackMan.com) When people talk about the greatest female groups in music history, TLC always sits at the table. Not on the side. Not in the hallway. At the table. What they did in the 90s was more than just hits on the radio. They changed how groups looked, how they talked, how they dressed, and how they spoke to young women and young men at the same time. They could […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The SAVE Act, a spinoff from the Denmark Groover playbook is highly reminiscent of a bygone era in political chicanery; indeed, it is a dangerous voter suppression bill. It would make it harder for Americans to register and stay registered—especially young, elderly, rural, and marginalized (minority) voters. If passed, it would: Require a passport or birth certificate just to register or update your information. Ban most online and mail […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) “The jury was bombarded with uncharged, unproven accusations, turning the proceedings into a trial of Mr. Cosby’s character.” That was the claim disgraced entertainer Bill Cosby made immediately after a jury awarded Donna Motsinger nearly 60 million dollars in damages in a civil trial loss in a Santa Monica, California court.
