They won’t be held accountable. They won’t step aside. And they won’t stay in their lane.
Tonight on The Tim Black Show — the Friday no-filter breakdown:
⚫ JAMAL BRYANT ENDS THE TARGET BOYCOTT — One of the loudest voices behind the boycott just folded. What happened, what it means for Black economic power, and why this keeps happening to us.
⚫ JIM CLYBURN AT 85 — RUNNING FOR AN 18TH TERM — He’s been in Congress since 1993. He’ll be 86 by Election Day. He just announced he’s running AGAIN for South Carolina’s 6th District. At what point does loyalty become enabling? Tim breaks it down with no apologies.
⚫ PATTI LABELLE & LORETTA DEVINE — BLACKNESS ON TRIAL — A clip making the rounds raises real questions about how we define and defend Black identity. Tim reacts.
⚫ JACK HARLOW SAYS HE “GOT BLACKER” — His new album ‘Monica’ is built around Black music, Black sound, and now he’s saying the quiet part out loud: he’s aware of the politics, he knows his white contemporaries are playing it safe, and he chose not to. Appreciation or appropriation? Or something more complicated?
⚫ THE SAVE ACT — BIRTH CERTIFICATE ISSUE — The SAVE America Act passed the House 218-213 on February 11, 2026. It requires proof of citizenship — passport or birth certificate — just to REGISTER to vote.
Here’s Tim’s genuine pushback: over 21 million Americans don’t have easy access to those documents. 69 million women have a birth certificate that doesn’t match their current legal name. A standard REAL ID doesn’t even qualify. This isn’t about keeping non-citizens out — noncitizen voting accounts for just 77 confirmed cases over 24 years. This is about keeping CITIZENS out.
No political party puppets. No sellout energy. Accountable to nobody but the truth.
