"Field, are you going to post about violence in the black community tonight, or are you going to keep posting about [so called] racist conservatives? If you are going to post about the problems in your community, I have some stories for you. In fact, you could start right there in your own hometown."
Hmmmm, let me think about it for a minute.......Nope, I think I am going to do another post about my republican friends.
"Keith Carter, who joined the NRSC in 1995, has charged Republican officials with creating a hostile environment for the two African-American employees who worked at the committee.
Carter, who is black, said he was referred to as “boy” and forced to clean up the feces of dogs white employees had brought to work." [Story]
Typical Negro. Whenever things don't go his way on the job he sues and plays the race card. "Hostile working environment"; those are code words for I want to play the race card. How could republicans create a "hostile work environment" for black folks when they love us so much? Look at all they are doing in terms of legislation to try to help us with some of our problems. Problems such as poor public schools, lack of funding for higher education, teenage pregnancies, the availability of cheap handguns, the lack of affordable housing, the lack of business investments and funding for minority owned businesses. Don't you see them reaching out to democrats to work on these problems?
"He (Carter) filed a lawsuit in D.C. Superior Court on Monday.
Brian Walsh, a spokesman for the NRSC, disputed the charges.
“This is an unfortunate action taken by a disgruntled former employee,” said Walsh. “The suit is meritless, and we look forward to its resolution.”
Carter was hired as a building engineer. He managed "the building" and says he was "often invited to participate in management meetings." He says his good relationship with NRSC ended in 2009, as he was "stripped of his supervisory responsibility and ordered to perform menial tasks."
The NRSC termination letter said Carter did not obey instructions, left work early and smoked in the basement:
Carter claims that when one Republican official asked him and his co-worker to do a job, he would often say: “Boys, we need you to … ”
Carter alleges he was instructed to clean up trash after political events, a task not previously included in his job description." [Story]

See, this is what's wrong with you Negroes; we give you a job and you think that you are too good to pick up trash.
I swear it's getting harder and harder to find good Negro help these days. But I have a solution: Maybe the NRSC can put out a want-ad in one of those fine black conservative blogs.
"I swear it's getting harder and harder to find good Negro help these days."
ReplyDeleteSeems like it's getting harder and harder for you to find something to get all huffy about, Field. A disgrunted ex-janitor? Please.
Seems like it's getting harder and harder for you to find something to get all huffy about, Field.
ReplyDeleteLOL
Field, "Carter claims that when one Republican official asked him and his co-worker to do a job, he would often say: “Boys, we need you to … ”"
ReplyDeleteOh I get it. Field wants to piggy-back on what Dr. Laura said about Blacks being "whiners and overly-sensitive". Well, you drove it home with style. And by doing so, you have exonerated the great Dr. Laura. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the good Dr. uses your post for her radio show to prove her case.
Who would have thought that Field would have posted about a whining, crying self-pitying bm, especially after Dr. Laura's tirade about the weak nature of Blacks?
I guess Field wanted to show that a black man can cry and whine just as much as the black sista who made that phone call to Dr Laura in the previous post.... Nice job, Field.
Boy (no pun intended), it's getting harder and harder to be Black among Whites, AND Blacks these days. LOL
"Carter claims that when one Republican official asked him and his co-worker to do a job, he would often say: “Boys, we need you to … ”"
ReplyDeleteWell, at least the Republican official didn't say "Niggers, we need you to … "
Michael Steele is a Republicoon.
ReplyDeleteLoving the paradigm shift among our professional trolls here. While the comments have become more vocabularily coherent, they're also becoming Wily Coyote-grade -- the anons are heading straight off the fucking cliff with their new tactics.
ReplyDeleteField, I hope you are being sarcastic.
ReplyDelete"Carter was hired as a building engineer. He managed "the building""
Aka: Janitor.
Its just another pretty name, like "Sanitation Technician" aka: Garbage man.
Wouldn't making sure the trash, shit, piss or whatever get cleaned up fall under the janitorial umbrella? Just asking. (If he had practiced cleaning up his own cig buds in the basement, maybe they wouldn't have known he was down there taking puffs).
And are you saying that some blacks still hold these menial jobs in America today? Gee who would have guessed. (I hope Mr. Carter wasn't one of those black folk who's been expending their energy and crying over illegal/legal non-black immigrants getting a hard time in Amerrrrica).
What is this...an Anonothon!? You can't tell if it's one troll or two trolls up in here.
ReplyDeleteLet me count them...you can't tell if it's one troll up in here or five. They all look alike, sound alike and have no home but the Field.
And since they have no handle, and have no avatar, it's hard to tell their sex, too. We have five asexual trolls who have found a nest up in here, and are multiplying using asexual reproduction.
Perhaps they'll overwhelm the ecosystem and breed themselves out of existence.
I can hope, can't I!
Wouldn't making sure the trash, shit, piss or whatever get cleaned up fall under the janitorial umbrella? Just asking. (If he had practiced cleaning up his own cig buds in the basement, maybe they wouldn't have known he was down there taking puffs).
ReplyDeleteNo matter the job title, it doesn't excuse anyone from demeaning, belittling or otherwise mistreating said employee. You simply do not use the fact that someone is a janitor in order to treat them like shit.
And are you saying that some blacks still hold these menial jobs in America today? Gee who would have guessed. (I hope Mr. Carter wasn't one of those black folk who's been expending their energy and crying over illegal/legal non-black immigrants getting a hard time in Amerrrrica).

ReplyDeleteI know. It's actually making me miss AB's incoherent ramblings. At least those could be glossed over and ignored with nothing of value lost. Wading through the putrid swamp of anonymous septic sludge day in and day out wears on a person.
Zing, "What is this...an Anonothon!? You can't tell if it's one troll or two trolls up in here."
ReplyDeleteAnonothon...that's funny. You are showing your love for anons. Zing, I am worried about you. In your comment you said you didn't know the difference between a male anon and a female anon. That means you don't know much about sex. Sounds like you have been leading a sheltered life.
What?! the man was a janitor? there are no black janitors in A-merry-ca. And this black man was a building engineer. Why must you folks belittle the man? You must be jealous...stop acting like crabs in a bucket.

You're right Mack, they should have hired a Mexican janitor. They work harder and don't sue you when you fire them for fucking up.
mack dont invoke that nasty beast cant u see thats what she wants u to say shes one of the main trolls on here! u can tell by the folks who the anons choose to bother but lets be honest all these anons wouldnt be doing this if it wasnt for her trifling trick behind some of us got put out with her incessant diatribes and personal attacks each day and decided to post anonymously most of us who did this stopped when she left but other anons decided to use the cover of anonymity to become trolls dont confuse folks who r anon for their jobs with somethin to say with trolls!
ReplyDeleteMack, I am not even trying to make this a race thing...
ReplyDeleteBut in all seriousness, we all have jobs to do. This is why more black people need to start taking education and black youth guidance more seriously - this is where you will end up. How can you eloquently enough ask a Janitor/Custodial worker to do their particular job without ever coming across as being belittling?
And look how many people in high end cooperate jobs making six figures or close to six figures still have supervisors/bosses that belittle them. You don't have to be in a menial jobs to get belittled or disrespected.
Where I work everyone is always afraid to tell the custodial worker when the office trash is overflowing (you would think she could see for herself). She hides the broom, mop and cleaning supplies as if they are her own property, yet if there is a spill, you better don't call her (not even nicely) because you're "belittling" her. This custodial worker gets an attitude when you have to ASK her kindly to do HER job.
A "Grounds Inspector" aka: Grounds Keeper. You don't walk around the property all day taking notes on the trash and wild weeds that grow. You give some of these titles dignity, and some people regardless of race still can't appreciate.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, but when it comes to certain CHOSEN jobs, some people have to understand their place. I know that may sound harsh, but we all have jobs to do, understand your job, or else move on.
Janitors--I apologize: "building engineers"--sweep up, mop, take out trash, dump garbage, dust, clean the Johns, and, when the occasion demands it, respond to emergencies, such as stopped-up, overflowing toilets, and leaky roofs.
ReplyDeleteNow, I wouldn't want to say that Michael Steele's role as the Chair of the RNC is that of a glorified Janitor, but it's hard not to make that comparison.
In no certain order, Steele was called upon to do the following:
Dust: Dust off the image of the Republican Party, by developing a Web presence that would reach out to blacks and women.
Sweep up: Sweep away the notion from the debris-filled American psyche that the Republican Party is a party only for fat-cat, stogy-smoking, rich, white guys, that it can embrace blacks and women, leaving the clean floor of a new reality--The Republican Party is the party of Lincoln, and Martin Luther King was a Republican.
Mop: Clean up a few of the controversial messes that threatened to soil the Republican image--for one, a fund-raising effort at a strip club. I take that back: a nude-art club.
Take out trash: At town halls disabuse those present of what some pundits offer as Republicans' real reasons for their opposition to health-care reform, and other liberal harebrained schemes to enact Obama-Change, and transform the nation.
Dump garbage: As often as possible, appear on various talk shows with dumpsters full of verbal garbage, and unload it on Democrats, and the president, leaving behind the stench, and putrefaction, for Democrats to clean up and haul away.
Clean the Johns: With brush in hand, and the appropriate cleanser, scrub clean the inside of commodes of those Republicans whose pure-white character is suddenly stained because of one indelicate act after the other.
Respond to emergencies: Find a way, with plunger in hand, to unplug the resistance to his Chairmanship in the RNC, and the overflow of excremental anger to what some believe is his mismanagement of Party funds, and his part in the disaffection of potential donors, and vacuum up the flood of discontent from Tea Party Goers that are rebuilding the party from the ground up--or, should I say--floor up, raining down upon the Party a new breed of Republican, one more conservative than any that has come before, a steroid-developed, musclebound Super-Republican.
I meant "corporate" jobs in my above post.
ReplyDeleteThat's a sign, off too bed...
u r old and outdated in ur thinking laa u also r a classist who looks their noses down on other blacks ure a dam fool for not holding the janitor at ur job accountable to do what theyre supposed to do ur smug attitude is how she can milk ur sorry asses into feeling guilty for telling her to do her fucking job but just goes to show u aint too bright cuz the janitor had ur nbr a long time ago now all yall too scared to hold her accountable cuz of ur own guilty consciences for being classist

La~Audio, I don't think it's ever cool to talk down to anyone you work with. I don't care what they do. Certain people, in a certain party tend to be classist so they do it without probably even noticing.Not cool for normal people.
I can't wait to hear their side of the story as to why they fired the guy after 15 years.
Should'a posted about violence in our community. This other stuff is a distraction.
ReplyDeleteRetraction: I see you wrote about violence in the previous post. Good show
ReplyDeleteWhy is his job titled questioned? Is it impossible that he could have been the building manager. Engineer is not always used for a person with a graduate degree, for example Radio Engineer and Railroad Engineer.
ReplyDeleteEven fixing toilets, minor electrical and heating/AC problems is not menial work.
I can attest to that because it took me 2 1/2 hours to replace the flush valve in my toilet, yesterday.
Field, I don't think its cool either, but that's the real world and its unfortunate. There are many people of all race who work in 'higher' type positions that also feel belittled and disrespected by those above and around them. This isn't anything new.
ReplyDeleteWow Field, thanks for this story.
ReplyDeleteI know Keith Carter. I had a sales contract with the NRSC from 1999 through 2002 and Carter was my contact.
He always seemed like the "happy negro" type to me so I only discussed business with him, never politics.
I did see a guy tell Carter to drop some coins in the parking meter for a NRSC guest.

Understand their place? Understand their place? Some people have to understand their place. What the f*** are you talking about? Some people. At 60 yrs. old I work as a custodian. Things like you climbed over my back to get where you are today. House Negroes like you are the reason slavery lasted so long. That is, if you are black. I cannot believe a black person would make such a stupid, immoral and totally assinine statement.
I should understand my place? I am a Viet Nam vet. I was in the civil rights movement. I have raised 2 daughters, neither of which was a teen pregnancy and no drugs involved. I now have 4 granddaughters, two of which are honor students in school. Just what the hell place should I understand?
I have a question. At what point in your miserable life did you give up being a human being and become the bottom dwelling trash that you present yourself to be on this blog

ReplyDeleteI know you are a troll looking for theatrical drama, but I am not the one to pitter patter on what I have to say. Please stop playing games, the truth hurts, this is the real world. That's why more black people need to stay focus on their children's education, guidance and future in this racially competitive and economically challenging world today. Having a black or blackish president in the US isn't going to do it.

ReplyDeleteif you think you are better, smarter, or have greater social worth than somebody else based on your job title than you are woefully wrong. all honest work deserves to be granted the same respect and dignity; whether you are a lawyer, a politician,or a cleaner. again a job title speaks NOTHING of the character of the individual person, but those who look down their noses upon others reveal plenty about themselves.

ReplyDeleteIn the real working world, regardless of job title, salary, age, gender, or race, everyone has someone to answer to. Sometimes there is a thin line between belittlement, constructive criticism and taking directives. Also, feelings of being disrespected can be very subjective in these situations. Menial job employees ARE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE who feel belittled and disrespected on their jobs. Sometimes we have choices or decisions to make.
In regards to this story, Mr. Carter sat down in those meetings elbowing and grinning while he forgot his JOB DESCRIPTION aka: knowing your place or the role you have to play when the part is over.
Forget about "title", everyone has a job description to do. DO what is in YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION before someone has to come long and ask you to do it. You will save yourself and others the race card bullshit.
nope laa as cocoa goddess pointed out u r full of shit and an elitist fuckwad u think ure better then other people based on their profession u hate mexican immigrants and u hate damn near everybody else u hateful shrew!

ReplyDeleteHaving observed Carter in his workplace on several occasions, it was obvious that he THOUGHT he was part of the good old boys club at the NRSC (laughing wildly at corny jokes; calling them by their goofy nicknames like "Biff" and "Ratch") while the guys that were actually running shit regarded him as the "help".
When black people deal with righties, reality always rears it's ugly head.

ReplyDeleteNever look down on any person making an honest living to feed his/her family. I see it all the time, when I walk through the airport maintenance engineers looking down or avoiding eye contact but I make it a point to sleak to these sisters and brothers and for both of us it is a good experience. As a airline pilot many look at us as aloof and arrogant and many are but my ancestors took crappy jobs so I can sit on that flightdeck so no disrespect to those doing the same for their offspring. Hell, I know of a lady who put three kids through college selling candy on the side of the freeway. That is determination, nothing to look down upon.

You kill me LAA - You. Kill. Me. Your just like some of these rappers out there, you like "slick talking" to people, not necessarily saying that persons name, but you like "calling" them out. "Most custodial workers today and particularly in your age group usually have a harder time putting together decent grammatical and explanatory sentences. And if they can, woe beyond to them for still cleaning shit for a living." - Now "morngstr", not "annon 11:25" wrote a "decent grammatical and explanatory sentences" but since he/she is "cleaning shit", that's considered low class. Let's see 60 years old....My Dad who turns 60 this week was recently caught on tape clocking the head of a tea party orginization at their protest. But before he hit him, the head tea baggers wife had the nerve to ask him "don't you have a job to go to or something?", but yet that same chick was AT the SAME protest - didn't SHE have a job to go to also? I don't dunno as I'm sure my Dad didn't know and probobly didn't give a shit either at that point, but yet she assumed. My Dad is retired and he's far from broke. He was on his way from getting a haircut and he likes to talk shit - and win. Reason why I bring this up? As usual you assume, in a slick talking kind of way, and now I'M forced to assume you haven't pulled that shit with the right people in person, because if you did you would have gotten your ass kicked by now - from the hood to the good, somebody, if they haven't done it already, would have whipped that ass. Now, maybe, just maybe Morngtr is retired and and wanted to pick up a little side gig for whatever reason, I dunno, as I'm sure you don't either. You weren't being harsh you were being arrogant.

ReplyDeletebuilding engineer does NOT mean janitor. it can mean someone who has to ensure the HVAC is working as well as any other systems in the building.
he was saying he was busted down to janitor, and it doesn't seem right to me. and agree that everyone of every occupation deserves respect, but you know, if get what you give. eventually.
yeh rottonkid what else is new? she is an unapologetic piece of cat shit who looks her noses down on regular black folks but chides other black folks for not being black enough she is an unhappy low down dirty sack of cow bucetas!
ReplyDeletemaria,
ReplyDelete"building engineer does NOT mean janitor. it can mean someone who has to ensure the HVAC is working as well as any other systems in the building."
Carter was not the janitor. When I knew him he was the building manager.
He ordered the supplies and furnishings for the building (including computers, software, telecommunications), arranged for cleaning, deliveries and repairs.
He ran the building, but was not part of the NRSC team as he thought.
I think some folks came into the NRSC and Keith did not and could establish the kind of realtionship with them that he had had with previous NRSC operatives.
He probably voiced some displeasure and was shown the door.
I'll bet Uptown does a fine job picking up shit where he works, and with a big "happy negro" smile on his face too.
ReplyDeleteAnon 3:46 says.."unhappy low down dirty sack of cow bucetas!"
ReplyDelete---------
I don't call people names..And honestly you doing that is not gonna phase her. She reminds me (sorta) of an old girlfriend that would cuss you out without saying a cuss word and you would feel like shit. Only way to annoy her is to beat her at her own game. Just a bit of advise for what it's worth.
Field, you gotta check this out. Photoshopped but accurate.
ReplyDeleteGuess which one made Maxim's 100 Hottest Women list — for the same reason her husband was granted a Nobel Prize?
"and now I'M forced to assume you haven't pulled that shit with the right people in person, because if you did you would have gotten your ass kicked by now - from the hood to the good, "
ReplyDeleteYou see that's why people like you end up in the penal system and have to resort to doing said jobs to this day (I am not talking about ALL black men). You don't know how to keep your cool and function among the white man in his element (you may only know how to function inside his sisters and daughters), but you don't know how to beat "the man" at his own racist game, and you don't have to be a Tom either. You will always lose. Violent obnoxious people like you and your father make it harder for other black men and black women.
And you know what, this entire thing shouldn't even be about blacks or people in menial jobs, I have MUCH respect for anyone who puts in a honest day of work no matter how big or "small". This was about a man who was Tomming and got his clue handed to him in box, now he's trying to push the race card on other black people's expense.
I do not doubt racism played a part in this, but again, how can you ask a custodial worker/Janitor to do their job without sounding even the tiniest bit condescending? You are allowing Carter's self inflicted hurt feelings and the type of job he CHOOSE to do sidetrack you from practicalism. What if the white man said "boys I need you to log on to mission control to get this shuttle up in the sky"..... would we be having this discussion? No.
Anyway, I have a job to do!
btw Anony, I am 32 years old, and I am as young and as vibrant as I look and feel! Thank you.
ReplyDeletei figured so, steve, but the convo developed into he's a janitor who just didn't want to do his job.
ReplyDeleteMaria, people are looking at "Title" but some companies can add or subtract "duties" that they see fit to fall under the title umbrella. And some "Titles" may be dressed up, but mean the same thing as "Janitor" or "garbage man" everything depends on the job description. That was my point.
ReplyDeleteAlso, when you take jobs that state "and similar duties and functions as assigned by management etc" at the end of your job description... guess what, you are cooked.
rottonkid u give her too much credit if she was really as cold as u say she wouldnt respond to anonymous commentators her feathers r ruffled alrite and its quite clear she is a lying sack of cow bucetas eye state the truth! muah muah muah

Well yeah because some of them, even with their f*&^%d up circumstances, think that they are better than other folks because of their skin color. That's not cool, either. Is it?

So what you are saying Field, is you get a pass because all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others?
"So what you are saying Field, is you get a pass because all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others?"
ReplyDeleteNo no no. All animals ARE equal, but some animals think that they are better than the other animals even though they are animals just like all the others.
Dogs, for insatance, think that they are better than pigs, because they are domesticated and more people have them as pets. And, well, people don't eat them. (At least not some people) But, at the end of the day, they are animals; just like the pigs.

ReplyDelete"UTS, you actually know that guy? Wow! Small world. So tell me; is he a happy Negro? :)"
I KNEW Keith Carter about 10 years ago when I was selling telecommunications equipment.
He was the NRSC contact for purchases and I negotiated a pretty substantial contract with them.
Carter wasn't the purchasing authority though. The NRSC Chairman ultimately approved and signed the contract.
He was a nice enough guy, a little goofy.
It doesn't surprise me that things turned out the way they did.
The office was totally white except for Keith. Very rightwing with pictures of all the Republican Gods (Reagan, Gingrich, Lott, McConnell etc..) all over the place.
Let me take that back.
One summer day I was down there and I ran into a black college student who was serving as an intern on the elevator.
There was a black deliveryman on the elevatr as well and I said "Damn they're getting some color over here."
The delivery guy cracked up laughing and the intern, seeming very embarassed said "There's another sister who works here too!"
Conservative negroes and their tribulations.
Pigs taste better.

"Pigs taste better."
ReplyDeleteI will take your word for it.:)
UTS, thanks for the 411.
BTW, I see you have some fans.
Well yeah because some of them, even with their f*&^%d up circumstances, think that they are better than other folks because of their skin color. That's not cool, either. Is it?
ReplyDeleteIt is not, but think of classist thinking and privilege that comes with such a statement. An unexamined privilege that.
You ought to take my graduate course Field, we look at the intersections of race, class, gender, etc. One can be privileged in one regard, and not in another.
But as soon as you read the comment by the poster who lives in a trailer, you knew you made a painful statement. My guess is that if you knowingly had a subsection of followers who lived in trailers you would not have made that statement. Her rebuttal hurt my heart, I hope it hurt yours as well, and I did not even make it. Your apology to her was less than stellar too my friend, I wanted to ask you to man up and giver her a real one, after all, you are an attorney, with capital (monetary and social) that she will likely never have.
eye must say this thread has been dripping with the classisst rants of jerkwads today field is a nice man but his statement towards the trailer park folks was dismissive and callous where eye live theres lots of trailer parks and good hard working people live there and sure theres meth around but meth is everywhere just as we ought not look down on folks who stay in the ghetto we ought not look down upon janitors or building supervisors of maintenance engineers or *gasp* those who live in trailer parks!

ReplyDelete"BTW, I see you have some fans."
Yeah.
Not telling you how to run your blog my brother, but just like Raid kills roaches, moderation kills ass-non trolls.
Memo from Anon, Inc:
ReplyDeleteSUBJECT: "Anons as problems to 'some' Resident IDs"
The real problem, if you can call it that, is not anons. 'Some' of you resident IDs ought to knock off the whiney blaming 'bs'.
Anons contribute as much to Field's blog as the rest of you. FYI: Anons list themselves as 'anons' because they want to remain 'anonymous'...get it? So maybe some of you 'constant' complainers need to 'grow up' and 'give up'. Stop trying to control and manipulate Field to suit your needs, and enjoy his blog- "just the way it is". You'll be surprised how much more fun you will have.
BTW, Anons are some of the smartest, and wisest contributors to FN blog. Of course, there will always be one or two who will skirt the boundaries of emotional outer space, but there are some of you resident IDs who go to another galaxy!
Such is the way of humanity. That is what makes FN blog unique. It's where ALL of humanity can meet each day, including AB and her enemy 'muah-anon'. Hell, even Thrasher showed up today before he left for outer space. Just goes to show you never know who 'might' show up here.
You should be grateful to Field for providing such a colorful blog where EVERYONE can freely meet: the beautiful and the ugly, the smart and the dumb, the subtle and the outrageous, the holy and the profane, the honest ones and the liars, the normal and the weird, Black and White, the poor and wealthy, the irresponsible and the responsible. FN blog can be like going into a 'Starwars bar', where all kinds of characters can meet and have a drink and be entertained at the 'edge' of humanity.
There is no other blog like it. It's the true non-discriminatory A-merry-can blog! Why would some of you want to 'tailor' and 'control' it to your specifications and ruin it?
Field needs to do a post on "How To Have Fun AND BE HUMAN"- cause some of you crying-angry-ass folks don't have the slightest idea how to 'lighten up' and be human. You are too busy judging, prosecuting and playing God.
There are already too many blogs available that some of you 'whiners' want. Go there...and stop trying to change Field's blog. Better yet, start your own blog.
Mr. Field, I hope this MEMO finds you in good spirits and has not offended you. Have a very good week in court...knock 'em dead.
Yours truly,
Anon, Inc.
Thanks anon 8:19. Thank you so much for ridding this blog of that awful alicia banks troll! Still, the blog comments won't truly be purified until La Incognita/La Audiobooks/Kola Boof/whatever she calls herself goes away!
ReplyDeleteure so right on that anons! those nasty cretins mmm and laa need to go
ReplyDeletedon't let her white bodyguard dara show up to tell you laa never called herself kola boof cause it was ab who used to call her that when she hated laa.
ReplyDeleteyou look down on and make fun of steve for his neighborhood. apparently he lives in a black neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteyou're bragging about your neighborhood being all white--that makes YOU the racist. nothing i said makes me a racist.
you must really be a joy to live near. no wonder you need a gun!
Fn,
ReplyDeleteare you blocking us?

What a pussy you are, Uptown. LOL.
anon, "ure so right on that anons! those nasty cretins mmm and laa need to go"
ReplyDeleteNow, now, anons...calm yourselves. Please carefully note that the Anon, Inc memo stressed that Field allows EVERYONE on FN blog. So 'everyone', including us anons, should respect the other's right to be here. So try not to become like some of those mean-ass resident IDs who complain about us. We are better than that. Of course, you don't have to like AB, LAA or MMM and please do not take any crap off of them. But also recognize that FN blog is still an open blog to ALL of humanity, the sick and crazy ones.
Even though some folks such as AB, or MMM can be full of shit, Field lets them express themselves. Why, you ask? So that others can see that people like them actually DO exist, and are part of the human race, unfortuately.
But MOST IMPORTANTLY, some poor souls might see themselves in AB, LAA or MMM, and realize they don't want to be like that. And they have a revelation, and immediately begin a new and better way of life...See what I mean? Field is using them to teach others who NOT to be like. I'm telling you, the man is a genius!
The more I see how Field works, the more I see him as a blessing in disguise that works for the good of ALL God's children. I bet Field prays in secret at night, and in the morning. But he doesn't want anybody here to know it. Afterall, the man has an image to uphold among his agnostic and atheistic friends in the 'city of brotherly sin..uh, I mean love',. But I got his number, he is not fooling Anon, Inc.
BTW, Anons are some of the smartest, and wisest contributors to FN blog. Of course, there will always be one or two who will skirt the boundaries of emotional outer space, but there are some of you resident IDs who go to another galaxy!

Guess it depends on how you define smart because obviously your standards aren't very high. Anonymity breeds cowardice which is why most blogs ban assnon commnets.
Muah, muah, muah, muahf*cker!!!!!
MMM, "Guess it depends on how you define smart because obviously your standards aren't very high. Anonymity breeds cowardice which is why most blogs ban assnon commnets.
