    Charles Barkley Shows Black Men the Power of Keeping Their Own Voice. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    (ThyBlackMan.com) I have watched a lot of famous Black men learn the hard way that fame arrives with a leash attached. Somebody hands you money and a platform, and buried in the fine print sits an expectation that you will now say the approved thing, at the approved hour, in the approved tone. Step outside that box and folks act shocked, like you broke a contract nobody actually showed you. That is why Charles Barkley continues to hold my attention after all these years. The brother built a whol

    Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan Prove Black Men Can Build Together. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    (ThyBlackMan.com) For all the talk about Black men and rivalry, about crabs in a barrel and one seat at the table, the most important film partnership of the past decade has spent its whole run quietly arguing the opposite case. I came up in a time when we were taught, quietly and not so quietly, that there was only room for one of us at the top. One seat, they told us. Just the single shot. If your boy got there first, well, that was your loss and his gain. Zero sum, they called it later, once

    Black Men and the Hidden Costs of Homeownership. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    (ThyBlackMan.com) Every young brother I know has heard the sermon. Buy the house. Stop throwing money away on rent. Build something you can leave behind. For years I preached that same gospel myself, standing in barbershops and cookouts telling nephews and coworkers that a deed was the closest thing to freedom a man like us could hold in his hands.

    Dwyane Wade Shows Black Fathers That Love Does Not Need Every Answer. - ThyBlackMan.com (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    (ThyBlackMan.com) I remember the version of manhood a lot of us were handed coming up. Your daddy provided, and if he stuck around at all you counted yourself lucky. Emotion stayed folded up somewhere behind the ribs. A boy learned early that a real man kept his answers ready and his softness hidden. That inheritance runs deep among Black men, and it does not turn loose easy. Which is exactly why what Dwyane Wade has done with his daughter Zaya deserves a longer look than most folks give it. Bac

    Darius Rucker at 60 Has a Message for Black Men Who Never Rest. - ThyBlackMan.com (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    (ThyBlackMan.com) Darius Rucker turned 60, and something in him finally exhaled. The country singer sat down on The Dan Patrick Show recently and said out loud what plenty of us keep buried. Glancing back at his last calendar, he tallied the concerts. 110 of them. Then came a question that hit me square in the chest. What am I doing? That deserves a long pause. This is a brother who came up out of Charleston, raised by his mama on love and not much money. He built Hootie and the Blowfish with a
