(ThyBlackMan.com) As we just celebrated the federal holiday marking the birth of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I cannot help but believe how disappointed he would be at the state of affairs within the Black community. While America has made major strides relative to fulfilling King’s dream, the media appointed Black leaders and their organizations have been nothing short of disastrous for the Black community. Radical Black liberals […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The United States insists it cannot afford housing, jobs, or care. Yet it can always afford cages. Immigration enforcement is not a response to crisis; it is a budgetary preference. Billions are reliably available to detain, transport, and deport people, even as Black communities are told to be patient, resilient, and fiscally realistic. Immigration and Customs Enforcement—ICE—embodies that choice. Its budget has ballooned over two decades, underwriting detention centers, […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) From pioneering navigation to America in 1492, to enduring and overcoming the inhumanity of slavery, to the Reconstruction Era where we succeeded in helping with the abolition of slavery while securing our rights as citizens, to the Jim Crow Era where we founded historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and established Black institutions, to the Civil Rights Era, during which Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. articulated his mountaintop […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Kali Muscle is one of the most recognizable names in modern bodybuilding culture, a man whose journey from the streets to the weight room has inspired millions across the globe. Over the weekend, that same powerhouse suffered a frightening health scare when he reportedly fainted while training at a California gym and was rushed to the hospital. For a man who built his reputation on strength, resilience, and discipline, […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) It is illegal. It is at times dangerous. But it is a tradition that is as American as Apple Pie. That is celebrating the end of the old year and start of a new year on New Years Eve with a few celebratory pot shots in the air. Countless numbers of Americans yearly adhere to this long-standing rite. However, it has never cost anyone their life. That horrifically changed […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Shortly before Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, a Harris Poll found that 75% of Americans disapproved of him. Yes, three out of four. White Americans’ disgust with King was driven by his unflinching commitment to racial equality and his staunch opposition to the Vietnam War. He spoke of “three evils” that are inextricably linked: racism, militarism, and poverty. King had increasingly made known his pessimism about America, doubting […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) White backlash in America is nothing new. Neither is the need for Black America to have a hard-fought response to it. To “rise like a phoenix” has become a major part of the Black experience and legacy. The phrase comes from the mythical bird that is reborn from its own ashes, symbolizing Black resilience, survival, and continual rebirth in the face of oppression and systemic injustice. It means to emerge […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) If you’ve ever noticed white flakes in your beard, you’re not alone. Beard dandruff, often referred to as “beardruff”, is one of the most common frustrations people experience when growing or maintaining facial hair. It can feel embarrassing and even confusing, especially if you already wash your beard regularly and try to keep it clean. The good news is that beard dandruff is usually a sign of imbalance, not […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) I remember growing up, and the grown-ups had a saying for us fellas out roughhousing. “It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. A woman was shot and lost her life in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last week. The truth about the ending of her life is that it did not have to be so. The fact is that she was the victim of Leftist lawlessness. Her death is truly […]
