Money is nice, but being able to speak my mind is better.
"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)"

"To white people, Bennett's musings are like kitchen-table talk from a kitchen they may otherwise never set foot in. To African Americans, he is part of a growing army of black Internet amateurs who have taken up the work once reserved for ministers and professional activists: the work of setting a black agenda, shaping black opinion and calling attention to the state of the nation's racial affairs."

"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

"I had no idea, for example, of the extent of the African-American blogging world out there and its collective powers of dissemination.But now, after reading thousands of anguished, thoughtful comments posted on these blogs reflecting on issues of persistent racial discrimination in the nation's schools and courtrooms, what's clear to me is that there's a new, "virtual" civil rights movement out there on the Internet that can reach more people in a few hours than all the protest marches, sit-ins and boycotts of the 1950s and 60s put together."

In most of the stunned responses to Mitt Romney's schooling of Barack Obama in the first debate, one can see blacks’ hatred of whites in their comments and assertions. One can also see the same black demeanor as Obama exhibited toward Romney. I have seen this same demeanor whenever a black man is confronted with a self-assured white man who is obviously smarter than than the black man. What you are seeing is them repressing their desire to beat the white man. You can also see here, how actually fearful minorities in general, but blacks in particular are of whites—especially of whites who may band together to protect their interests. What this tells us is that “black power” and the so called power of the black man is a front—a scam, to cover up their fear of the white man. As I have said before, whites—organized whites—are the most formidable entity on the planet. When organized, it is nothing for us to defeat and subdue the “Other,” no matter how great the odds are in the “Other’s” favor. This is why liberalism must constantly browbeat whites into believing themselves to be guilty and inferior.
The debate offered us our first unfiltered look at the candidates. Mitt Romney was not defined by Obama's smear camapaign or by a media attempting to portray every statement he made a "gaffe, instead we got to see straight up how competent, sharp and likeable he is.
Obama, on the other hand, was caught outside the shield the mainstream press has built for him. Devoid of his teleprompter and the protection of media editing, he looked petulant, ignorant, and woefully out of his depth.
This debate was the biggest game changer in the history of modern American politics. As much as they will try to spin us into disbelieving our own eyes, Obama has lost his empty suit and stands naked before us.
Game over.
It’s been getting increasingly obvious, for years now, that “racist” doesn’t mean someone who hates members of other races and wants to harm them (which is the definition most white people think of when they hear the word). Instead, it has become nothing but a racial slur directed at white people in order to shame us into voting, believing, or behaving a certain way. In other words, liberals and non-whites use the word to “keep us in our place.” And boy, have we learned our place!
What do blacks want? Even Obama hasn't got a clue.
However, as is well known, blacks have never created functional, sustaining organizations -- except for those funded by whites.
However, outside the stablizing influence of whites, for blacks, things fall apart. Countries, cities, families. Collapse.
See the storm front crowd is out. Must be break time at McDonalds.
Funny Robby B. I've seen this same demeanor when a white man is confronted by a self assured blah person who is obviously smarter than they are. Maybe we aren't so different afterall.

Where was that? In a Denzel Washington movie?
"See the storm front crowd is out. Must be break time at McDonalds."
Classic!
I'm interested in hearing your thoughts about the former Arkansas governor Hubbard and his book...

Where was that? You mean where IS that? Ha!
Wow, watching the '84 vice presidential debates and deja freaking view;-) Questions about tax returns, quips about class warfare and questions about terrorism and ambassadors being killed.
