"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."

Affirmative action has made all merit suspect and all honors meaningless. This culture is rotting away.
Wonder why some commentor would make light of Viet Nam. People ran AWAY from that war. The picture is that of the fathers and mothers of some that still carry the hate gene for the next generation. And yes.... we developed ALL our hate and aggression by being "made in America" When I was a child most of the trinkets, radios/TVs had "made in Japan" on the back of the items. I wish there was a way to place "made in America" for my people- that have found it hard to make peace with themselves.
Dear ABPF,
You may need to lighten up. (And I don't mean your skin)
2:44,
I tried to respond to your comment. But it was intercepted by the Field Marshal.
Are you ready to stand before the great white throne of judgment? For that day comes as surely as the sun rises. Eternal horror awaits the faithless, unrepentant sinner.

4:07 you need to stop preaching. You sound mean.

Dumbest comment, from the dumbest she boon as always.
There will never be another Black President. This one even speaks nice, but in the end proved to be nothing more than a affirmative action experiment that failed.
Any more letters from Italy?
A Black Panther Forever, thank you for your comment. Yes, Vietnam was terrible and it left a deep wound in the hearts of those who served.
Ignore the anon who says you need to lighten up. It's the anon who needs to lighten up from being mean-spirited and ignorant.
"There will never be another Black President. This one even speaks nice, but in the end proved to be nothing more than a affirmative action experiment that failed."
But you'll never be President because we already had a white idiot. There will be several Black Presidents because this one revived the economy that the white guy before him tried to destroy and even lowered gas prices. Best president ever even though racists like you can't accept it.
"Affirmative action has made all merit suspect and all honors meaningless. This culture is rotting away."
Yep, years of white affirmative action has made all white achievement suspect. You probably can't even get into college much less ever be a Rhodes scholar.
Great captions.Well.....most of them.
Poor Anon@4:30.it must be a FOX viewer. O must be handling his business and pissing them off. Time to invent another scandal.

I agree should a black republican become president the dumbocrat party will go crazy racist.

I like how dumbocrats lie in the face of facts.
Even the vice president says the middle class was left behind in the Obama economy revival.

The Wealth Gap Is Getting Bigger
It’s been clear for some time that the economic recovery has been lopsided, benefiting the rich more than the poor. Now we have more hard numbers to back up that fact.
http://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/12/18/the-wealth-gap-is-getting-bigger/
To believe the economy is revived means you are one of the very rich or a dumb partisan hack that regurgitates dumbocrat talking points without a bit of common sense or reading ability.
Protester who advocates peace charged with setting fire at Berkeley QT
One of the most frequently quoted and photographed Ferguson protesters was charged Saturday with setting fire to a Berkeley convenience store last week.

More of that dumbocrat craziness.
The non-foxnews media made a quasi celebrity out of him to push the dumbocrat agenda.
http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/portrait-protester-ferguson-missouri
And then he was videotaped trying to start a store on fire. When confronted with the video, he confessed.
“He’s a great kid, an educated kid, a child who knows what he wants and is very active in the community.”
I have NEVER lived in a community where someone trying to burn down a business is considered a "great kid."

Anon is poor because you haven't paid your Anon bills. And yes, O has been handling his business for Wall Street and the White folks along with immigrants.
But Blacks he continues to devastate. And like good HN, you continue to worship him.
This place is the Vietnam of discussion threads.
"In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The A-Team."
Air Soccer is fun!
Early photo of Michael Richards surfaces. Notice the fork in his left hand.
"I agree should a black republican become president the dumbocrat party will go crazy racist."
Yeah, but only because that would drive all the racists from the gop. You are certainly one dumb muther fucker Bill.
"I agree should a black republican become president the dumbocrat party will go crazy racist."
Puleeeeeeze idiot, you only have what two congressmen in the entire party that are Black? Like less than 1%? You and stupid are in an intimate relationship Bill.

Hurry! The seminar 'How to Make Women Happy' by Field Negro, PilotX and Purple Cow is about to start!
"To believe the economy is revived means you are one of the very rich"
So basically Bill you admit the Obama administration has been good for Wall Street and the rich. Hmmmmm, that doesn't sound like a crazed socialist bent on destroying the economy now does it? I thought Kinky told us he was an extreme socialist. So who's right? I think The Purple Cow is right when he says Barack is a conservative because as Reagan told us a rising tide lifts all boats and if we learned anything from Reagan it was the Laffer curve and how making the rich richer helps all of us.
Reagan talked about a Star Wars defense. Satellites, computers and technology type stuff.

Obama is using balloons.
"Obama is using balloons."
And predator drones.
8:09, if what you say is true, the U.S. is in violation of International Balloon Moratorium of 1918. Can you imagine what might happen if the wrong people got their hands of 99 Red Balloons and recklessly let them go?
I think Bill is admitting trickle down economics didn't work and Reagan was wrong.

Racist much? And it's piece. Not peice.
"Racist much? And it's piece. Not peice."
Funny, you don't seem to have a problem when folks make racist comments about blah folks. Why is that? Hypocrite much?
Bill and Josh are young non-racist whites who come here looking for validation from blacks. They think if they just engage in rational discussions about politics, they can prove their non-racist status and convince blacks to work with white people.
Bill and Josh push conservative memes that they feel are legitimate, but their worldview is fully liberal, in that they subscribe to the notion of the Sin of Whiteness and seek the absolution that can only be granted by blacks.
But this absolution cannot be granted without abandoning the very core of blackness. Are you getting a lot of good faith interaction here? How many 'debates' with the likes of Yinsheng or PilotX does it take to figure this out?
As time goes by, they will realize no amount of reasoned discourse can convince blacks to cede the privileged position they have been granted, to face reality and to start being agents of construction instead of destruction. Why the hell would they? Blameless for their faults, eternally entitled to the white man's property, there is no need whatsoever to stop squeezing their marks until the day the whole farce implodes. And it will implode, once young whites like Bill and Josh finally get the message. Keep giving it to them, Field Negroes.

"As time goes by, they will realize no amount of reasoned discourse can convince blacks to cede the privileged position they have been granted, to face reality and to start being agents of construction instead of destruction"
More stoopid shit. Whites like Dickhead, Josh and Bill think they know everything and thus feel they need to go to blah sites and lecture us dumb negroes about how to act and what we need to do. As dumb as they are they still feel superior thus validating the presence of white supremacy. But they will continue to prattle on and on endlessly in their quest to feel superior.
There fixed it for ya.
I guess we can thank our lucky stars Josh hasn't started the whole Democratic plantation stuff yet. Thank god for small favors.
