"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."

Mr Field, you have got to do better with your weekend posts. They clearly show weakness. This is why QLB questions your IQ. Actually, he considers the IQ of all Blacks to be the lowest of the low.
Reading PC's comments I must say I don't blame him.

MERRY CRISTOFER COLUMBUS!
Democrat voters happy about early voting.
Republicans are always losing the dead vote.
I wonder why?
A boney hoedown.

Once again Field's caption Saturday demonstrates that fascists are incapable of humour.
This one graph blows the idiotic "global warming stopped in 1997" bollocks clean out of the water.

The style of the image is termed Dance Macabre which originated in the Middle Ages and meant to symbolize the universality of death. It was common during outbreaks of the Black Death and often associated with it. But hey, according to some of you I never graduated from HS and don't have teeth.
But back to the caption. Chicago, two triple shootings of YBM's with a third kill confirmed for the weekend. Fifteen more wounded. Just another "typical" weekend in Obama City.

Anon@8:50, Doug, Connie,DiAnne, heck even kinky was kind of bringing it.

"But hey, according to some of you I never graduated from HS and don't have teeth."
We judge you on the quality of your posts - which generally suggest a frustrated little man who needs to scream impotently at us in a desperate attempt to fulfil his manhood.
Congratulations on your Wikipedia success re Dance Macabre, btw.

Why does the "most transparent administration in history always have to hide what they're up to?:
Obama: Waiting Will Make Immigration Executive Action ‘More Sustainable’
President Barack Obama says he’s postponing executive action on immigration until after November’s elections because it would be “more sustainable” then
http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/06/politics/obama-immigration/index.html
Obamacare Website Won’t Reveal Insurance Costs for 2015 Until After Election
Those planning to purchase health insurance on the Obamacare exchange will soon find out how much rates have increased — after the Nov. 4 election.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/oct/14/obamacare-website-wont-reveal-insurance-costs-for-/
ObamaCare Chaos: Insurance Cancellations Delayed Until After the Election
The Administration is pushing another ObamaCare delay on Americans until after the 2014 election in an obvious effort to conceal the fact that millions more are about to lose their insurance.
http://www.independentsentinel.com/obamacare-chaos-insurance-cancellations-delayed-until-after-the-election/
The new plan cancellations will be sent out after the elections! The delay has been made unilaterally by the Administration because it involves millions of people who are about to lose their insurance that they hoped to keep but which Obama has determined is inferior.
Obama Waiting for Midterm to Name Attorney General
President Barack Obama does not plan to announce his choice for attorney general before the November elections, shielding the nomination from the midterm election politics while setting up a potential year-end showdown with the lame duck Senate.
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/obama-waiting-midterm-attorney-general-26184407
Army Won’t Release Bergdahl Findings Until Midterms
The Army has completed its investigation into Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s abandonment of his Afghan post but will not release the report until after the midterm elections lest it embarrass the Obama administration.
http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/101514-721987-army-refuses-to-release-bergdahl-findings.htm
If this was an honest administration who had the best interests of America at heart, he would not be planning actions that would enrage the voters if the media let them know what was going on.
'You'd have to recognize the image and its symbolism before you could do a wiki search on it you blithering nitwit."
Well yes, I guess if you live in a place where recognising something as obvious as a Dance Macabre image is a big deal and sign of an advanced education - then I suppose that's right.
Dear 'Anonymous Actually, you can't keep your doctor, or anything else', are you actually Dave Blount, or did you steal his work without attribution?
PC, I think our racist friend actually believes all that Stormfront trash it reads.
Anon@11:57, I am not referring to you.

Actually, it's the data that says that:
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/10/02/its-official-no-global-warming-for-18-years-1-month/
Watt is just honest enough to present it straight up. You can draw your own conclusions as to what it means, but it is indisputable that there has been no global warming over the last 18 years.

"Watt is just honest enough to present it straight up. You can draw your own conclusions as to what it means, but it is indisputable that there has been no global warming over the last 18 years."
It's totally disputable you fucking moron, I've already posted a graph that blows that theory clean out of the water, but of course you are too stupid to understand the consequences of what they are seeing.
Now I have to decide if I can by arsed to explain a fucking simple graph to someone as stupid as you. Let me think about it.
Claiming that global warming stopped in 1997, ignores 90% of global warming. This claim is made by people who look only at global surface air temperature which represents just 3% of global warming.
(Even if we look only at surface air temperature, the case that the world has not warmed is very weak. Ignoring long term trends and just looking at the record-breakers, 1998 wasn't the hottest year ever. Different reports show that, overall, 2005 was hotter than 1998. What's more, globally, the hottest 12-month period ever recorded was from June 2009 to May 2010.)
But all that is irrelevant anyway because of their enormous size and heat storing capacity, warming of the seas represents 90% of global warming.
Here is a second graph that demonstrates just how massively the oceans have warmed since 1997.

Ahhhhh bless.
I mean there's all things I could point out, we were all Africans once, black people had the world's most advanced civilisations for thousands of years, black people invented maths, medicine, astronomy and most sciences, Mozart stole tunes off a black composer, a black man is considered the father of string theory, but what would be the point?
You would rather focus on white inventions like the gas chamber, the extermination camp, genocide, lynching, global financial meltdown, corrupt bankers, capitalism, country and western music*, the winter olympics, neurosis, stress, Wall street, exploitation, fascism, mass exploitation of the world's resources, global warming, destruction of the rain forests, traffic jams, smog, pollution, the Gulags, the KGB, the SS, the KKK, urban poverty, those stupid 'talking cunt' beards, baseball caps, wearing socks with sandals, the atomic bomb, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, the opium trade, coca cola, hamburgers, nuclear war, germ warfare, the Titanic, religious persecution, the Pope, catholicism, protestantism, 9/11 truthers, birthers, 6,000,000 missing Jews, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Lysenko, the Depression, the dust bowl, incest, ice hockey, actually thinking about it all american sports, religious intolerance and Simon fucking Cowell.
*What do you get if you play a country and western record backwards?
You get your job back, you get your wife back, you get your dog back.
Incest was a black invention and to date happens more in black families.
Country music hasn't been called "country and western music" for over 25 years.
Which shows what a ill-informed and uncultured socialist cunt you are.
Their purple cow goes again.
Do we have to revisit the black invention myths list? Blacks are always claiming created for things white people created first.
I noticed purple cow didn't include aids and ebola on the made up black inventions list.

No, claiming that global warming stopped in 1997 merely points out the fact that there has been no warming in the last 18 years. This despite global CO2 emissions continuing to grow. This is a fact, as you know.
I understand you have trouble accepting this, because this is not just an objective review of the available data, but rather it is an article of Faith to you.
You can worship whatever nature-god you want, and you can believe that the Sin of Carbon will bring down your god's wrath in the form of boiling oceans or whatever, but you are no better than some Islamic extremist if you try to use the government to enforce your beliefs.
You are sad, frustrated little man with, in your own words, a "miserable life". Perhaps if you stopped obsessing on non-existent problems like Global Warming and paid a little more attention to your family, you'd find some satisfaction in your existence.

Wow. Gotta catch the next UFO. (Stepping away slowly)
What available data other than Watts' site? All other data shows warming since 1997. 1998 was warmer than 97 and 05 was one of the warmest years on record. 2014 is lining up to be the warmest year on record. How is that no warming?
I notice you're still posting as anon.

Yes, you can pick individual years or runs of years since 1997 where there has been warming, but there is no warming trend for the 18 year period running up to the present time.
What Watt has done is to determine how long back one can go and show no warming trend. This is done by plotting the RSS satellite data straight from the RSS website.
Using this data, the most accurate available, you can now go back 18 years with no discernible warming.
It's really not that hard to understand.
If you go back 30 years, there is a warming trend. Whether or not there is a positive or negative trend will always depend on the time span you pick.
The Global Warming theory says that increasing man-made CO2 is warming up the atmosphere. Alarmist organizations like the IPCC have used models to grossly overstate the amount of warming that is occurring.
The point of Watts analysis is to show that the actual observed warming has been much less, and that it has been zero for the past 18 years.
There is even a name for this period among climatologists, "the Great Pause". It is considered an anomaly, but it just keeps going, and going, and going.
This should not be a threat to a scientist, but it is apparently to Alarmists.

Wow. Any more fantasies? No wonder Blacks are the most deluded people in the world. So what happened? Did Colonel Sanders, heroin and malt liquor bring everything to a halt? It must have been one hell of a fall. Let me guess. YT is somehow to blame. Did the mother ship miss it's orbit and somehow got sidetracked to Jupiter? Geez, you're not only stupid but you're insane to boot.
'The Global Warming theory says that increasing man-made CO2 is warming up the atmosphere."
We have no clue what advanced levels of CO2 will do to the atmosphere. Much heating takes place in the oceans and we are already seeing warmer temps at both poles. There is no "theory" as you are mistakenly using the general use of the term not the scientific.
"There is even a name for this period among climatologists, "the Great Pause". It is considered an anomaly, but it just keeps going, and going, and going."
We are actually warming. Do you understand 2014 is on track to be the warmest year on record? The current trend is warmer temperatures. The 2000's are warmer than the 90's which were warmer than the 80's. Do you see a trend?
"Thanks in large part to the record-setting El Niño of 1997–98, the year 1998 was the warmest year, globally, in the 20th century. Since 2001 the global trend has been relatively flat (see graph). However, temperatures continue to run warmer than in previous decades. The global average from 2000–09 exceeds the average for 1990–99, which in turn was warmer than 1980–89. And the average for 2010–12 topped the 2000–09 average."
https://www2.ucar.edu/climate/faq#t2507n1344
You do understand averages and trends right?
'The Global Warming theory says that increasing man-made CO2 is warming up the atmosphere."
And it is! You do understand what "warmest year on record" means right?
Anon@9:14, do u realize how stupid you seem? No, you probably don't.
Keep working on finding that job you lost because of affirmative action before your unemployment check runs out.
Loof!
"And it is! You do understand what "warmest year on record" means right?"
---------
The stupidity runs deep in this one.
Of course a single year might be much warmer or cooler than the rest of the period you are examining, but the trend over the last 18 years is flat.
And I will bet you a 55 gallon drum of that Kool Aid you like so much that 2014 does not turn out to be the "warmest year on record".
