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."

At least we are still allowed to choke white criminals!

Make it look good so those N-word won't complain about cops treating Whites better than them.
Hey, guys, calm down! I'm not a racist-nationalist thug, just a football hooligan! There's a difference!
(Okay, there really isn't. I should probably find a better hobby than beating up people of other ethnic backgrounds.)
Don't they have a shower in your trailer park?
OT attended the Memorial Day fly-in at Tuskegee Saturday. Real good time, the museum is awesome and several kids got to punch holes in the sky.
I wonder what the J-O-S-H thinks. Haha, I'm just kidding. I don't give a fuck what that douche thinks.
"Where'd the black guy go?"

Hey, I don't even know this dance and already he's trying to cut in.
These just keep getting better. :)
Officer one:
Take it easy on the kid, they're just having a little fun and 'sowing their wild oats'
Officer two:
What with stones, knives, bottles and chair throwing??
Officer one: A course! That's how white's 'sow their wild oats'
From the Police Brutality collection here's Kent Breef modeling the classic "choke hold"
Hans Offenmee detained by riot police after soccer match.
Storm troopers are forced to use force and "the Force" (Pictured right)to subdue Herr Hans Offamee during riot.
Hat's off to Lila: That's quite a knee-slapper :-)

"Special" humor, I guess.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let me explain it to you "Retardo"!
At a ball park in white land,the occurrence of riot fighting,knifing, bat slinging, cranium bashing, drunken chair smashing et al., is considered by the law as just white people "having a good ole time" and the younger ones just "sowing their wild oats"
Officers just show up and more or less tell them to "break it up Bubba, and go to go on home and sleep it off!" He,he, these young kids hehehe! Sumthing else aren't they hehehe!
In Black land with these same happenings, these same officers would show up again,and more or less, mace, tazer, shoot to kill, as many people as they could.
That's the difference. But you are right Retardo, it is a special kind of humor! and actually not very funny, actually, kind of sad actually, in the grander scheme of things on God's good earth!
Yep, that's really how it is, Lilac. White sporting events are characterized by riotous knife fighting and baseball bat bashing that is condoned by local authorities as 'normal' white behavior.
Really, it is.
Blacks however are held to a much higher standard of behavior, and events attended by black crowds are well-mannered and polite, lest law enforcement be given an excuse to abuse those engaged in some good-old fashioned tomfoolery.
You really do have a "special" take on things. Bravo.
No doubt Field really is descended from field workers. But if he ever invites you to his bedroom window to see his "south 40," run!

Well, thank you! and how 'special'of you to recognize it ;D and while I would like to take full credit for that "special take on things"
I can't because actually it's what happens all the time, and more and more with each passing day! As I'm sure you'll agree! :)
But while white ballparks are torn apart with attendees heads bashed in and noses bloodied, and even players sometimes getting a bottle to the head! It's just some "good old fashioned tomfoolery fun" as you so aptly put it!
While any Black people maybe even, oh let's say drag racing for example, will be shot and killed and deemed as "running from the police" Hehehe! Who really just wanted to ask them some "questions" Special right?
Reeeal special!

"Another English sports fan feels the choking pain of his fav team."
Euro's don't just abuse "POC," when no one else is around, they abuse each other, too!

Black culture = rioting and looting:

The gestalt has completed its 180-degree shift from the Bad Old Days before the civil rights movement legitimized political violence. Now the standard lament is that violence is ineffective and, yeah, unfortunate. A blatant lie--it's effectiveness is counted on--as well as a moral obscenity. The thought of violent authority still repulses the average citizen, but no one is turning fire hoses on peaceful protesters anymore. That's why the civil rights movement has turned to crime, so to speak, adapting such as Freddy Grey to the role of martyred freedom rider.
Once the movement had to provoke violence from authorities. The violent response of authorities, it seemed at the time, exposed them for what the movement said they were. But now the violence of black rioters exposes them, for what the old segregationists said they were. What goes around actually does sometimes come around. If only we were allowed to pay attention, maybe we could do something about it.
Another relic of the Sixties works against us: the assumption black rioting and anger, no matter how far out of hand it might get, originates in legitimate grievance. But what if there is no legitimate grievance, just the anger and frustration of ill-informed, intolerant people worked into a lather by demagogues?
The subject of civil rights is infantilized, and so is our thinking about it. We've romanticized the righteousness of black anger for so long we've come to take their anger as proof of their righteousness. The angrier the more righteous. Black people sense this and provide the tears and hollering. Black and white America are locked in an anger-condescension death spiral. I almost wish I was Chinese right now.
I wish u were chinese too, and in China.
Quote Dale
"The gestalt has completed its 180-degree shift from the Bad Old Days before the civil rights movement legitimized political violence."
As a matter of interest, are you actually Dennis Dale or are you stealing his work without attribution?
Oh and if you are Dennis Dale, you sir are a complete idiot. Political violence has always been legitimate. There can be no greater justification for violence than political change.
What does it mean to be an American?
I have been thinking about this a lot lately as the effects of a half century of "fundamental transformation" manifest themselves. Today seems like an appropriate day to ask you what you think is the most American value
For me it is exemplified in the following:
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
- From Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech, August 28, 1963
This is the most fundamental of American values: that each of us is created equal and that, through hard work and determination, we can rise above the circumstances of our birth.
America is - or should be - a meritocracy, not an oligarchy. I think that's why so many of us chafe at the "ruling classes" in our government, media, business, and other segments of society. And it is, of course, why most of us rebel against the trend to "protected classes" who are demanding, not "protection" from discrimination, but special treatment.
The social justice ideology teaches resentment and grows on the resulting hate. This system does not bring people together, rather we see things falling apart ever more rapidly. Divide and conquer has always been the most effective strategy for asserting control.
Today remember all those who gave their lives in service of a country that valued liberty and equality before the law.
Happy Memorial Day.

Brilliant.
Yes, PC, you are a big piece of cow shit.
Now, before field has to bow his head Which reminds me of Kunta Kinte/Toby...is this REALLY a recent picture, or just one field dredges up from his Favorites?
It would be much simpler if field would date these pic, wouldn't it? You agree?
