Blog
This blog was originally created to unite black men and remind us of our brotherhood and value as men in this society. However, this site has evolved into a digital newspaper that address the culture and concerns of the black community in various aspects. We have aspired to be more than merely an entertainment or one dimensional site. We bring you well rounded perspectives on politics, technology, gaming, music, literature, film, education, health, spirituality, and various other topics.
Our main goal is to always offer news from the black perspective. Black people are not a monolithic, and our site reflects that reality. ThyBlackMan.com offers something for everyone as our writers represent various aspects, and schools of thought within the black community. This is a place to unite us as a people, not separate and divide. We strive to inform, uplift, and inspire our people in every aspect of life. There are too many negative stereotypes in society today about black people. This site is here to remind us that there are many, many positive things to talk about in our community. We have a responsibility to be a part of the true representation of the voice of Black America.
ThyBlackMan is committed to giving you content relevant to the black community from black writers. Let’s come together in the empowered spirit of Christ and our ancestors to push our agenda forward. We can and should continue to do our best to leave this world a better place then how we found it. We are writing for our people, and for generations to come.

1 (ThyBlackMan.com) Black men have access to more information in a single day than our fathers could have imagined, and most of it slides right through us without leaving a mark. Let me tell you what got me thinking about it again. I was in the break room at work a few weeks back, standing there waiting on the microwave, and a younger brother at the table hadn’t looked up from his phone since he sat down. Thumb moving. Thumb moving. Every few seconds his face changed a little.
Black Men, the Prostate Cancer Screening Conversation Should Begin at 40.
(ThyBlackMan.com) Let us start with good news, because there is some. Caught before it has spread far, prostate cancer is one of the most survivable cancer diagnoses a man can receive. The five year relative survival rate approaches 100 percent when prostate cancer is diagnosed at a local or regional stage, and among Black men, about 86 percent of cases are still being diagnosed within those earlier stages. The trouble is not treatment alone. Access matters. Insurance matters.
Too Many Grown Men Are Still Dressing Like Their Younger Selves.
(ThyBlackMan.com) There comes a point in a man’s life when the way he dresses stops being a matter of taste and starts being a matter of self respect, and a whole lot of us blew past that exit without ever checking the sign. My cousin Reggie turned forty eight in March. He came to his own party in a basketball jersey with another man’s name across the back, pulled over an extra large Ralph Lauren polo on a body that has been a medium since Clinton was in office. Not vintage. Not ironic.
Donald Trump Has Power, but Barack Obama Still Appears to Hold His Attention.
1 (ThyBlackMan.com) On the nineteenth of June, on Juneteenth of all days, the doors of the Obama Presidential Center swung open to the public in Jackson Park on the South Side of Chicago. Eight stories. Nineteen acres. A library branch, a basketball court, gardens and a great lawn. Eight hundred and fifty million dollars in construction funded through private donations, though taxpayers also covered substantial infrastructure improvements in and around Jackson Park.
Michael Jackson’s Greatest Rival Was the Michael Jackson of Yesterday.
1 (ThyBlackMan.com) People been arguing about who really pushed Michael for going on forty years now, and most of them are looking in the wrong direction. It was not Prince. It was not Madonna moving units, and it was not whoever the radio decided to prop up that season. If you want to understand the heaviest weight that man ever carried, quit staring at his competition. Go pull up his own catalog. Let me tell you something folks love to get wrong.
The Graham Platner Fiasco Has Democrats Turning on Bernie Sanders.
1 (ThyBlackMan.com) The Platner fiasco has unleashed something of a brawl in the Democratic Party over how the sexting candidate with a Nazi tattoo came to be their rival to Susan Collins, now in her 5th term as Republican senator from Maine. Bernie Sanders thought his socialists could pass off blue-collar impersonator Graham Platner — a product of the elite Hotchkiss prep school — as a hard-working “oysterman.” Sanders had been waving off concerns about the guy.
Premium Rose Bushes: Why April & Ashley Is the Best Choice.
(ThyBlackMan.com) Introduction Choosing high-quality premium rose bushes can be a rewarding process for both new and experienced gardeners. Factors such as plant health, variety selection, growing practices, and reliable customer support all play important roles in selecting the right source. April & Ashley focus on carefully selected rose varieties designed to help gardeners create beautiful, lasting outdoor spaces.
Danny Glover’s Alzheimer’s Battle Shines a Light on a Crisis Facing Black Families.
1 (ThyBlackMan.com) I have a very close family member who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. So, when famed actor, humanitarian, and political activist Danny Glover courageously announced that he was battling the disease I loudly applauded. I applauded for two good reasons. One, I know firsthand the monumental pain, suffering, and agony that my family member daily suffers. That pain deeply touches me as well as other family members.
Too Many Black Men Are Chasing the Look of Wealth Before Stability.
1 (ThyBlackMan.com) There is an old wisdom I inherited from men who worked with their hands and thought with their whole lives, and it went something like this. A house is only as sound as the ground it sits on. I have carried that idea into my later years, and I offer it now because a generation of our Black men has been sold the opposite lesson. Raise the walls, hang the curtains, and let the world admire the place before anyone has poured a foundation. That is the instruction now.
HBCUs Are Still Carrying Black Students Through an Unequal America.
1 (ThyBlackMan.com) This week I am thinking about what it means to go back to school in a country that still rations opportunity. The stores are selling backpacks and dorm décor, but the deeper question is who gets access to education, who must borrow for it, and which institutions continue to carry the burden of Black possibility. The fireworks have dimmed, and the Fourth-of-You-Lie sales are waning.
