There is so much racism to chase and so little time.
I honestly don't know where to start.
First, let us acknowledge that there are actually some good people in the world who have their "color arousal" issues in check.
I am thinking of that poor teacher in Arizona who was fired for standing up for a little nine year old who was being bullied for being a Negro.
"An Arizona teacher was canned for defending a fourth-grade boy from bullies who called him the N-word, "monkey" and "crackhead" after one bully's mother complained, the tormented boy's family and other community members say.
Pam Aister, a 25-year teaching veteran, was booted from her classroom at Four Peaks Elementary School near Phoenix after administrators said she was too harsh on a group of boys who'd been picking on 9-year-old Malachi Gillis.
The Gillises told local CBS5 the abuse was so bad they had to move Malachi to a different school.
"'You belong to a zoo,' 'stupid head,' 'monkey,' 'crackhead,'" said Malachi, quoting what he said were daily taunts from a group of five boys.
Things came to head last spring when Aister confronted the alleged bullies.
"He is not alone. When you pick on him, you pick on me," Aister told the group, according to CBS5. "It is not five to one anymore. It is five to two." [Source]
So she defends a child who is being bullied and having racial taunts thrown his way and she is fired after 25 years of service?
Yep, we are "post-racial" alright. I am sure that the parents of these bullies are teaching them how to be good citizens at home. Not!
Then there is that Notebook guy, who is now getting the Paula Deen treatment from one of his former employees. (Speaking of Paula Deen, please tell me that Steve Harvey isn't jigging for her as she tries to get her black card back. I know you don't "give a damn, Steve", but I am going to blog about your ass.)
This dude has made a ton of money writing love stories, but apparently he has no love for the Negro.
Anyway, I have seen a couple of his movies, and the feelings-at least when it comes to his body of work-are mutual.
And finally, to the Big Apple, where were it not for a white woman who happened to see injustice raining down on a bunch of little Negroes this story would have never seen the light of day.
"Cops protecting tony Park Slope, Brooklyn, trailed a group of black teens in their patrol car and ordered them to “get out of the neighborhood,” a stunned witness claimed.
Sara Bennett said five teens were walking along Ninth St. between Sixth and Seventh Aves. at 2:45 p.m. on Sept. 22 when she saw an NYPD patrol car following the youths with its lights and sirens on.
Then, over the loudspeakers, a cop told the teens to leave the area, Bennett said.
“I was upset by (the) police behavior,” Bennett wrote on her Facebook page Wednesday. “I notified my city council person (Brad Lander) about what I had witnessed. His office told me I should voice my concern at a precinct council meeting, so I did.”
At the meeting, Bennett said she “was really, really upset and disturbed” by what happened.
“Not by the kids, but by the way the police were yelling at them to get out of the neighborhood," Bennett said. "They were just walking down the street." [Source]
Ms. Bennett, welcome to our world. And thanks for being brave enough to stand up to the Big R.
I know that it's somewhat paradoxical, but in order to combat the Big R you are going to need folks on your side who look like the racist. As I told you Negroes before, you should listen to Katt Williams and get you some white friends. ("Murder! Murdered who?")
"In addition to telling the police and Councilman Lander’s office, Bennett also informed school officials inside the John Jay Educational Complex and members of the Police Reform Organizing Project about what she saw.
“I hope this little bit of press attention makes the police change their practice,” she wrote on Facebook."
It did bring some press attention Ms. Bennett. But unfortunately it will not make the "police change their practices". We can thank the Big R for that.
Sad that it always takes a white person to make others believe something happened. Where is Eric Holder and new blah Panthers?
ReplyDeleteFirst to bring the stupid.
ReplyDeleteCongrats px.
"First, let us acknowledge that there are actually some good people in the world who have their "color arousal" issues in check.'
I knew you wouldn't be talking about black people.
When blacks get color arousal, mob attacks and/or beheadings usually happen.

Unfortunately, you are not one of them.
So she defends a child who is being bullied and having racial taunts thrown his way and she is fired after 25 years of service?
ReplyDeleteof course she is fired for standing up for a black kid. she should have never done that. it ruined her career.
the irony is that kid's parents won't be standing up for her.
Brother Field.. I am feeling you about the "Lawdy, at last I made it here" man. Brother Harvey. The powers to be always select these brothers that are so motivated about getting in the inner white world that they forget all the Blacks that have aided them on their way up.
ReplyDeleteBrother Harvey has no shame to his game. The brother acts like he is too unique. I will call him out for his use of foul language on his morning show. Allowing our people to act foolish with the lowest of standards verbalized daily. He does not need to ridicule my people daily when he DOES NOT DO THE SAME TO THE WHITE WOMEN on his evening TV show. He treats them with syrupy demeanor- always pleases them in their contrived helplessness. I never hear him cussing at his white women audiences or allow cussing to be part of the show. The brother disrespects my race. He and his cousins should pull the plug on his morning foolishness. Because if it is not about money and advancing a career... then what is it about? By having many avenues of communication, he has the opportunity to encourage. And yes, I have seen his commercial about the "FOR PROFIT" school that historically take ill prepared students left with large loan debts and no degrees. Mr. Harvey, you have made mucho money. Lead the way to inform young people the pitfalls in America.
I know that is not his job to tell people positive ways to live. But the 'brother' made it by having poor people coming to his shows.
StillaPanther, why haven't you responded to my comment re: the 60's in the previous thread?
ReplyDeleteAl Sharpton is promoting “National Breast Awareness Month.”
ReplyDeleteField are YOU going to be promoting breast on your blog?
I hope so.
SAP2, that brother is a trip. But we knew that when he started giving relationship advice.
ReplyDeleteKinky,if it's for cancer awareness I will.
Breast cancer is no joking matter.
brother field, just so you know steve harvey is my cousin and he is very generous and cares very deeply about certain people. so i would appreciate you toning down your criticism of him.
ReplyDeletehave you ever listened to his morning show? man, it is hilarious. millions of black people tune in to him. fyi, he is a supporter of obama because he feels obama thinks like he does. it's true.
I hope that that teacher gets reinstated.
ReplyDeleteI also hope the local black community turn out to push for her reinstatement. If black people want support from non-racist whites, they need to have their backs.
"Purple Cow, your reply shows your obvious ignorance about Blacks who weren't supportive of MLK. They indeed thought he was making things worse for us."
ReplyDeleteI have no ignorance on this issue, I have read my Eldridge Cleaver, I have read Bobby Seale, I have read Huey P. Newton, I have read Stokely Carmichael, I have read Frantz Fanon, I have read Malcolm...
MY issue was only with you white people dressing your diatribes up as coming from black people.
anon 10;12 forgive me for not responding to a directed comment. I will look back in past comment sections soon to see if the request/comment is still prevalent. You know how some news stories change on a dime. I have something that works for me. I never ask someone a question without knowing the answer/response. So in this case I would not ask you to refresh my mind. (hint, hint)
ReplyDeleteObama being president riled up the racists. There will be a sexist backlash against women when Hillary is president.
ReplyDeleteLimbaugh, they already have "binders full" of sexist things against women.
ReplyDeleteIf u are really Steve's cousin u should have a talk with him. Tell him that there are.other ways to expand his brand without being in bed with a racist.
Now that Democrats are losing support among women-it's time to trot out the tired war on wimmins meme.
ReplyDeleteFN wrote about John Crawford III being killed by cops at walmart.
Is there going to be a followup?
Rumor has it...
"Moms Demand" the anti-gun group came up with the idea of "swatting" gun owners.
John Crawford III was killed because anti-2nd amendment crazies wanted to make a point.
The question is...
FN has no problem calling out right-wing racists, will he have look into this or is the death of John Crawford III worth making a point about racist cops?
Phoenix. Home to a million Tbagger octogenenarians including a klanner sherif. It's where all of the old sol cal racists retire to mummify in the desert in familiar smog & white privilege. As hellish and he'll like a place as I've ever been. And I was a fleet Marine for 10 years with deployments and port calls in big and little hells all over the globe.
ReplyDeleteHere's a little more left-wing racism that FN isn't allowed to speak about.
So I will.
Jennifer Cramblett and Amanda Zinkon
2 lesbians that have a really big problem having a bi-racial child.
Lucky for them they vote Democrat so they get a free pass.
"Now that Democrats are losing support among women-it's time to trot out the tired war on wimmins meme."
ReplyDeleteNope, time for a reup to say some dumb shit and scare women right back to the dem camp. It's not the dem's fault repubs are all old white men who have no clue about womens' issues. Blame yoself.
"2 lesbians that have a really big problem having a bi-racial child."
ReplyDeleteDumbass, they asked for a blonde, blue eyed kid that looked like them. If you asked for a whopper and got a fish sandwich you'd be upset right? Bill, you are an idiot and a republican. Well they are synonymous.
notice Bill never mentions racist actions by Republicans. When QLB, a Republican, says obviously racist shit he goes crickets.
ReplyDeleteNot all racism is equal. IOKWARDI.
The war on women continues, democrat style...

When democrats sexual harass women, it's always tax payers paying the bill.
Isn't it time to make politicians responsible for what they do?

Anon, it's nice to know there is at least one other person in the black community who is willing to stand up for this teacher's job being reinstated.
You know how our people are when it comes to supporting Whites who stand up for Blacks....NOTHING...We are like Whites against Blacks when it comes to that.
You are right. Without support from the white power structure for Whites to do the right thing based on the Principle of fairness and justice, our race is powerless. We NEED White support for injustices, and racism to end.
Otherwise, there will be no end to it. The Black community, not only in Arizona but NATIONWIDE, needs to come to the defense of this teacher. She is very important for our cause and she is precious to us because she comes from the white base.
And believe me, other Whites who would like to support justice and fairness for Blacks are watching what we do in regard to this White teacher who came to the rescue of a black child.
I pray she becomes our rallying cry for justice.
Field, "If u are really Steve's cousin u should have a talk with him. Tell him that there are.other ways to expand his brand without being in bed with a racist."
ReplyDeleteI don't appreciate your lascivious lewd sexual comments about Steve being 'in bed' with a racist. Steve hates racists.
However, there are many 'levels' to racism. Some racists are irredeemable. Others are not.
FYI, as Blacks, we need to have redeemable Whites on our side. Otherwise, We have double trouble as a race that is unwilling to forgive or support those willing to stand with us.
There are many Blacks who think Paula Deen is redeemable. Just because you think otherwise, does not make Steve and uncle tom.

Your mentioning about the books you have read sounds like a white boy trying to relate to the black experience in the 60's.
Again, I was there. I was part of the experience, but you continue to display an ignorance on FN that is astonishing.
The most astonishing is that you sound like a white boy who knows nothing and you think I'm White....this proves you are not only a black fool, but an idiot.
Just because you have read some books written during those times doesn't make any more knowledgeable than a white person in Maine, VT. You haven't the slightest idea of what happened during MLK's time.
Let me reiterate what I said before: You are the Larry Elder of FN blog...a total idiot who can't even recognize a fellow Black. You have no biz on an AA blog. You don't relate, can't relate and know nothing about the 60's in America.
But you are too arrogant and ignorant to have the humility to STFU.

Dear Brother SAP2: My comment re: the 60's to you was couched in my comment to Purple Cow:

"I marched in the 60's and there were uncle toms, Stephens, slave catchers and house negroes who hated MLK. They thought he was stirring up stuff that would ruin everything the wm 'might' want to help us with."
PC's reply: "I swear to god the nazi contributors to this blog don't get any smarter. He 'marched in the 60's' says the 30 something white man who lives with his Momma."
Purple Cow, your reply shows your obvious ignorance about Blacks who weren't supportive of MLK. They indeed thought he was making things worse for us.
You might want to check with StillaPanther or others who were involved with the black movement in the 60's.
PC, you are the Larry Elder of FN...off the charts...an ignorant black fool.

You can also check what PC said today @ 2:53pm. Notice he left off my comment re: to you.
Anyway, would like to hear from you re: the 60's re: MLK. I know for a fact that 'many' of our people did not go along with MLK and wanted him to stop. Of course, when the Civil Rights Act was signed by Johnson, all of a sudden the entire Black race was a follower and supporter of MLK.:D...it's funny how that works in our race.
The more I go over my experience in the 60's the more I realize we haven't changed a bit. We are still going in circles without end...At least that's what I have conclude today. It's frustrating.
To top it off, there is a black ignoramus in the UK who thinks he knows something about the experience and wants to correct the direct experience I went through during those times.
Anon@1:50, u are not black.
ReplyDelete"The war on women continues, democrat style..."
ReplyDeleteWhile this ignoramous ignores any and all republican indiscretions. Carry on.
"...And thanks for being brave enough to stand up to the Big R."
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks to you, Field, for recognizing it. Like a muscle, good behavior gets stronger with repeated exercise.
