"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."

We can't believe the stupid things adults do.
why does the white kid look happy and the black one doesn't?

Can you believe that some Negroes think the black kid is part of the chosen race? That is really hard to believe or see.

The Many Shades of Poverty.
Adults in America need to look at how their children deal with others who are not their same race. If they did this would be a much better place.

Black kid: Yes.
White kid: Unfair.

Both start dirty and in the mud. Which one will blame every problem in his life on the other one?

FEMA denies state request for disaster aid to cover Baltimore riot costs

If only Obama was right-wing, we would be hearing about the inherent racism in the white house denying help to poor Black people.
Sounds like the Storm Roof blew off of their house and FEMA refuses to help.
Why is that guy taking our picture? Why are we getting all this attention? We're just two kids.

Does the fact all the white people you work with are smarter than you 'oppress' you Yingyang?
I think the word you mean is depression.
From the 70's: "A child is black. A child is white. Together they grow to see the light."
Fast forward to 2015; and if born to poverty, what exactly is "The Light" these black and white children grow up to see?
Still the idealist in me believe we can embrace the precious lyrics of "Black and White." Together we are indeed a beautiful sight.
Black & White - Three Dog Night (W/Lyrics)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nKQGV6v_JG0Black & White - Three Dog Night (W/Lyrics)
A black monkey behaves as a black monkey, because it knows that it is the black monkey. If the black monkey does not know that it is the black monkey, it anyway behaves as the black monkey and is not changing into the white monkey. The black monkey likes to say “No”. The white monkey likes to hear “Yes”. The goal of the black monkeys is to collect bananas. The goal of the white monkeys is to make bananas collected. The black monkeys publicly bite each other. The white monkeys never do this in presence of the black monkeys. If a black monkey collects many bananas, it will be given incentive to collect even more. If a white monkey enjoys many bananas, it will be given incentive to demand even more bananas from the black monkey.
"You do know they're going to make us get haircuts right?"
"White kid: When your mama breastfeed you, does chocolate milk come out?
Black kid: Yes.
White kid: Unfair."
The leaders so far. *still laughing*
As soon as a capable black monkey on its own initiative and effort will develop a desert from scratch into a record yield plantation, a white monkey from a backward stagnating place will arrive. The white monkey will take over leadership and start to teach the black monkeys on how to grow bananas. This will continue until performance dives to the low bottom and the black monkeys are blamed of all that. The white monkey is promoted to upper tree branch and forgets for a while to interfere with daily activity. Then, the black monkeys looking to become a white monkey and live on a tree, instead of the plantation, will grow and collect a record banana harvest. The white monkey will present this to the other white monkeys as of its leadership success and tremendous achievement. The black monkeys will be sent to the backward plantation to prove their skills again.
The educated black monkey is the most privileged black monkey and wants to distance itself from the other black monkeys and daily issues of the banana plantation.
@2:34,does the fact that you're a dumb ass Whooteemoo on a blog FULL of educated and successful minorities bother you? Is the fact that my 18 year old Engineering major daughter is smarter than your entire family, bother you? Does your stank breath and ass bother the people you sit next to on the city bus? Does the fact that you're my pet stalker for the rest of your sorry assed life bother you?
Dear Yigshank,
If your family is smarter than me, then they will no doubt easily have the resourcefulness to obtain for you the help which you so demonstrably need. In the meantime, collect for bananas.
Sincerely,
Langston Pollard

No.
The black monkey, having gathered bananas quickly seeks the validation of the white monkey. The black monkey, once rewarded, they returns to gather more bananas as this his the nature and role of the black monkey. Yisheng is such a monkey and gathers many bananas.

Doc, ignore these fools. Haters gonna hate.
Ouch! This concrete is hard on my tush.
Yes PX, the hate is ALWAYS real around here, ROTFL!!

@8:15, banaanas are a great source of calcium and I eat them pretty regularly.
You on the other hand use them to subsititute for a penis, have your boyfriends figured out why you smell so bananalicious yet, ROTFL?? What about your Mammy's customers?
