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."

One ethnic group has made a fortune off imitating AAs. Too bad we have never grasped our strengths. This girl was first seen in the 60s. Or 70s. Read Patty Hearst. Now to what I think she is saying. "Now I can get the militant Brothers". StillaPanther2

Listen people.
Colonel Sanders is coming and nobody seems to be the least bit concerned. I just saw him on TV! He has a sinister smile now! Do you have any idea how mean and hungry 35 years in the grave can make a man? I'm mean this guy was crazy as hell before he croaked. Face it! Who dresses like that and is sane? Now he's back as an undead, unstoppable military zombie! Does that raise any concern in anyone?
The rest you you can sit on your finger-lickin'-good asses and get eaten by the Colonel. But I'm out of here!!!
My daddy said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up -- even a member of the Jackson 5!
No, of course it's not a weave, and I'm not getting back at my parents (whom I totally do not hate, even though they refuse to support my dreams and they crush my self-esteem and I don't talk to them anymore).
I just listened to a lot of R&B, and one day I woke up like this. I swear!
Is this the rap video vixen audition? I heard you fellas like the light-skinned sisters.
After "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha" failed to work with her family for years, Jan found acceptance and attention with the Black Panther Party.

U.S. Poised To Put Heavy Weaponry In East Europe
In a significant move to deter possible Russian aggression in Europe
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/13/us-poised-to-_n_7577122.html
And to think just a couple short years ago Obama was scolding romney for calling Russia a geopolitical threat.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=21&v=QS2a44F5TgM
And now 2 years later Obama is sending weapons to eastern europe to protect from the non-existent 1980's cold war threat.

Come on, Bill. Even you can do better than this dumb fight over semantics from the 2012 campaign. Obama never said Russia wasn't a threat. He was mocking Romney for saying Russia was the NUMBER ONE security threat to the U.S.
Russia is at worst a minor threat to the U.S. It's really only a major threat to some of our allies. If we were completely cool with Russia re-colonizing all of eastern Europe, Putin and Obama (or whoever is his successor) could be the best of friends. If we abandoned our principles completely and let Putin snatch up Ukraine, what would it cost us, really?
So this truly isn't the Cold War all over again. Putin, scummy though he is, has land-grabby ambitions that are much more modest and local than the Soviet Union's ever were.
Stalking A$$nons Mama getting ready to meet her afrocentric johns.
Master Of Disguise is the leader so far. Clever.
Colonel Sanders is coming to eat us and he has a deep fryer!
Come on, Bill. Even you can do better than this dumb fight over semantics from the 2012 campaign.

" Oh yes! Im finally a sister! "
I think Suspiscious Reader his a nerve with FN. He essentially disappeared as so as SR asked him about his race. That's very fishy.
Wantu wazuri, I gotta come clean.
"Once u go White,youll never be right."
Ha!
Face it. FN claims he's a real life black man from Jamaica. But what proof do we have? Anyone can create a blog and claim they're anyone. I think there is an elaborate game going on here intended to stir up racial division and strife. If FN is a white man spoofing a black blogger, then that is not good for any of us. In fact, it brings us all down. I, for one, think a video from FN addressing this would settle the matter and remove any doubt that he is truly a black blogger.
