Joy-Ann Reid blasts DHS after it fell for AI video of Black men threatening ICE and posted ‘FAFO’

Journalist and host of “The Joy Reid Show,” Joy-Ann Reid, is sounding alarm bells over a recent post from the Department of Homeland Security’s social media.

If you threaten or lay hands on our enforcement officers, we will hunt you down and you will find out, […]

Marine Corps’ new grooming policy slammed for targeting Black men

A recently updated grooming policy issued by the United States Marine Corps is being slammed by advocates for negatively targeting Black male service members. The policy is a reversal of a decades-long waiver that allowed Black men with coarse or curly hair to electively wear their beards as a result of a skin condition. The waivers allowed Black service members to avoid the military’s requirements for men to be clean-shaven. In March, the Marine Corps issued a new guidance on […]

Federal workers file class action lawsuit saying white men kept jobs while they got fired in DEI backlash

A group of federal workers say that massive layoffs tied to President Trump’s DEI ban targeted workers of color and women—even if their jobs had nothing to do with DEI. These workers have now filed a class action lawsuit against Trump’s administration and are being represented by the ACLU of D.C., according to NBC News. The legal argument workers are making is that their First Amendment rights were violated when they were fired over the perception that they had pro-DEI […]

Mississippi lawmaker files ‘Contraception Begins at Erection Act,’ in an attempt to bring men into the conversation

A Mississippi state senator from Jackson has had enough of the litany of bills surrounding contraception and abortion being solely focused on a woman’s role in conception. So he decided to do something about it.  Democratic Senator Bradford Blackmon recently introduced legislation that would make it unlawful for a person to “discharge genetic material without the intent of fertilizing an embryo.” SB 3219, or the “Contraception Begins at Erection Act,” would impose fines of up to $10,000 for men convicted of […]

Some young Black and Latino men say they chose Trump because of the economy and jobs. Here’s how and why

WASHINGTON (AP) — Brian Leija, a 31-year-old small-business owner from Belton, Texas, was not surprised that a growing number of Latino men of his generation voted for Donald Trump for president this year. Leija had voted for the Republican in 2016 and 2020. Leija’s rationale was simple: He said he has benefited from Trump’s economic policies, especially tax cuts. “I am a blue-collar worker,” Leija said. “So, tax breaks for small businesses are ideal for what I do.” For DaSean Gallishaw, a […]

Exit polls show majority of Black men and women voted for Kamala Harris

Despite much hand-wringing about whether Black men would jump ship from the Democratic Party and vote in droves for Donald Trump, election exit polls tell a different story. Early exit polls from The Washington Post show that 78% of Black men voted for Kamala Harris. The vice president’s numbers were just one point under those who voted for Joe Biden in 2020. “We said early on, based on our data, that the mainstream media was going to continue to prepare to […]

Harris stood for workers like me on the picket line. Trump stood for the execution of innocent Black men. I’m standing with Harris.

Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio. When William Lucy and Martin Luther King Jr. led thousands of Black Memphis sanitation workers on strike in 1968, Lucy’s powerful statement defined a movement: “I am a MAN.” The movement demanded respect, better pay, safer working conditions, and the same opportunities as white men for a better life.  The same fight continues today. I am a father of […]

10 Black men celebrities who’ve endorsed Kamala Harris

With so much media speculation about whether or not Black male voters will support Kamala Harris’ run for president, it’s easy for the voices of Black men who are championing her to get drowned out in the debate. A whopping 70% of Black men say they will support Harris compared to 20% of Black men who said they would vote for Trump in a New York Times/Siena College national poll. Perhaps a “silent majority” of their own, Black men who support […]
