A strange sense of humor.

The folks on the right and their propaganda arm, FOX Views, sure have a strange sense of humor.


 "On Fox News Sunday this morning, Fox News contributors George Will and Brit Hume mocked the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, a piece of Twitter activism intended to increase pressure on the Nigerian government and international community to more actively seek the return of over 200 kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls, arguing the campaign was intended solely to soothe the consciouses of those tweeting.


“I was not that familiar with this phenomenon,” host Chris Wallace said. “It’s even got a name: hash tag activism. Do you think that this is significant and helpful and can make progress, or do you think it’s really about helping the people who tweet the hash tag feel better about themselves?”


“It’s an exercise in self esteem,” Will said. “I do not know how adults stand there, facing a camera, and say ‘Bring back our girls.’ Are these barbarians in the wilds of Nigeria supposed to check their Twitter accounts and say, ‘Uh-oh, Michelle Obama is very cross with us, we better change our behavior?’”


It’s trending!” Hume yukked. “It’s trending on Twitter!” [Source]


Ha -ha -ha- ha.


If you are surprised that the FOX panel would make light of over 200 school girls being viciously kidnapped by Muslim extremist, you don't understand the mindset of the right.


To them, African girls are way down on the pecking order in terms of importance. They have two strikes against them: They are not Americans, and they are not white.


This is why they can make light of an attempt by social network activists to bring attention to a very serious tragedy playing itself out across the world and not concern themselves with the consequences.


The lives of these girls don't matter, only the lives of the Americans who perished at Benghazi do. (Although we all know that they really don't care about them, either. Just politics.) They were Americans. Their lives matter. Those girls, on the other hand, not so much.


Finally, a few words about Mother's Day.


Kevin Durant gave a moving speech while accepting his MVP trophy the other day. There was not a dry eye in the room, and when you listen to it you can understand why.


"Everybody told us we weren't supposed to be here. We moved from apartment to apartment by ourselves. One of the best memories I have is when we moved into our first apartment. No bed, no furniture, and we just all sat in the living room and hugged each other because we thought we made it.


"When something good happens to you, I don't know about you guys, but I tend to look back to what brought me here. You woke me up in the middle of the night in the summertimes. Making me run up a hill. Making me do push-ups. Screaming at me from the sidelines at my games at 8 or 9 years old.


"We weren't supposed to be here. You made us believe. You kept us off the street, put clothes on our backs, food on the table. When you didn't eat, you made sure we ate. You went to sleep hungry. You sacrificed for us. You're the real MVP."


I can't relate to Durant's speech on personal level, but I certainly can on a professional one.


I see lots of women just like his mother every day, and I honestly don't know how they do it.


Today is a good day to recognize those mothers. Let's not forget all the sacrifices that they make on a daily basis for their families.


Happy Mother's Day.

    Lets see, Black Muslims ( from the religion of peace ) doing what they've been doing for hundreds of years and somehow YT gets the blame. Like we get the blame in Baltimore, Detroit, Birmingham, East St. Louis and every place where Blacks are in political control. I'll give you one thing. You're first class in the excuse making. Or is it fantasy?

    Um, if you think they were making light over the kidnapping rather than the phenomenon of vapid hashtag activism, you are a moron.

    Or perhaps just a dedicated malevolent agitator who loves to sow acrimony between white and black people.

    Most likely a little of both.

    I will admit that I'm pretty skeptical about the effectiveness of Twitter activism. I'm sure there are occasions when a hashtag can actual provoke some kind of action on a social cause, but most of the time, I doubt it makes a difference. It pains me to say it, but I kind of agree with the Fox buffoons for once.

    Then again, anything the Obamas do is always going to draw reflexive condemnation or mockery from Fox News. No response to Boko Haram from the president was ever going to be sufficient as far as they're concerned.

    Fox News hate the Obamas like cockroaches hate Raid.

  9. The Fox panel wasn't "making light" of the girls who were kidnapped.

    SO STOP LYING.

    Field understands the mindset of the right. He has talked to them about African girls. He knows their mindset. He knows the pecking order.

    Oh wait... He didn't actually talk to anyone on the right?

    Oh thats right. Black folks know what white folks think, the way they act and the way they feel without having to talk to any of them.

    And once again, field tries to turn comments about lame ass liberal activism into an attack on black girls.

    And field wants to talk about politics.

    Do you on the left have no shame?

Or the rate in Detroit, Baltimore, Camden, East St. Louis or any of the cesspools where Blacks have political control. Imagine Black Muslims in Africa have kidnapped and then sold into slavery other Blacks. Yet somehow, they're enraged at YT. Go figure the mind of the liberal.

    Yes the Foxnews panel was making light of the campaign to bring attention to the situation. The young lady checked them though.
    I loved Kevin Durant's speech. He does need to follow Charles Barkley's advice and do more posting up smaller players. Chris Paul was guarding him in the second half today and he wasn't the same. He needs to follow what Kobe, Lebron, and others have done in the summers. That's hire Hakeem Olajuwon. If adds a consistent post game, he would really be something.

  15. Field, I'm frankly surprised that anyone white in the United States gives a damn that Black African girls have been kidnapped. It must be the sheer number of kidnapped girls that has gotten the attention, plus the fact that so many people are expressing concern on Facebook and the fact that President Obama and Hillary Clinton have expressed concern about it.

    This seems to be even more media attention than is typically generated by one missing blonde girl with blue eyes. I'm frankly amazed that the political Right is expressing any concern about these missing Black girls at all.

    I guess they're belittling others' concern, but still.

  29. The government of Nigeria doesn't want to meaningfully take on BH because of the potential for such action leading to civil war in a country equally and somewhat regionally divided between Christians and Muslims. They've been relying on the Muslim community to fight it from within and think they have it more contained that way than if they further militarize the effort. Frankly, they're probably right; everywhere that the anti-jihad has been militarized it's been rejected by the Muslim masses.

    "everywhere that the anti-jihad has been militarized it's been rejected by the Muslim masses."

    Because the Muslim masses are all for Jihad.

    The Nigerians can either seriously militarize the conflict or keep dieing.

    Per Islamic doctrine, there will be no peace until the whole world is Muslim. I'd prefer it to be when Islam has been eradicated.

    i also noticed you listed granny as having a blog but she no longer has a blog. why list people who are no longer bloggers?

    you don't have the Root listed or even Anon Inc. what's up with that?

    and where are all the links to the white blogs like California girl and whitey's conspiracy, kinky con or stormfront? imo, they deserve to be listed since they contribute and add 'color' to fn.

    mr field, of all the blogs in the blogosphere you should always stay current in order to avoid being accused of being a racist who is partial to negroes, black panthers, naacp, oj, the bm who had a 'slight' mishap in his execution in ok...etc.

    mr field, fn cannot afford, nor could it withstand any attack from the media or southern whites accusing you of racial partiality. if that were to happen you would look like a hypocrite and would have to close the doors to fn or at the very least change 'fn' to 'hn' or to something else....

    I think those cold and wet nights were spent sleeping on streets drinking 40's and smoking weed. That's where you probably heard these stories. But then again, you might have been in the MAG 12, however the only people to see combat there were the White pilots. Seems that the only USMC death at the base in 1972 was an accidental gunshot. That means in reality it was the safest place you've ever lived. Certainly more safe than the gang banger ghetto you live in now.
    BTW the 60 uses M13 linked belts and not canvas ones like the Browning. Maybe you're thinking of the bandolier? Anyway you've made so many mistakes in your story it's hard to believe now.
