"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."

Kid: "Are you God?"
Obama: "I'd like to think so..."
POTUS: Is that the junior version of the Klan uniform? and should I be scared?
POTUS: Did you come for candy? or should I be scared?
POTUS: Is something burning on my lawn???
Now see? I know this game is rigged because Lilac has given three very funny captions and I know that she isn't that creative.
There is something funny going on here.
POTUS: Bless his little heart!!! In about 15 or so years, he's going to slide the hat down over his face, cut holes out for his eyes, and morph into the Klansman he was destined to be!
Dang it PR, you beat me to it!
POTUS: Are you the Pope reincarnated? Shouldn't you have waited until you died first?
Someone check for pope-poop...
-Doug in Oakland
I wonder the % of white people who see the Pope vs. the % of black people who see a white Klansman. Should be interesting after 70 or so comments. Rorschach testing.
President Obama to Mini Pope Francis: "All right now... I like that exchange. You get the candy. And I get the blessing" :-)
What an absolutely befitting caption on the eve of the universal church's celebration of All Saints Day!!

Thus far, Anon is the winner. Here's hoping there won't be any prejudice against anons. FN is known for discrimination against innocent anons for no good reason.
I'll trade you this basket for your hat.
Very clever, Limpbaugh!!!
As the photographer for Privilege Daily noted, while one man in this photograph is the President of the United States of America, one of the most popular figures in world history, a millionaire, an author, and a celebrity of the highest order, it's actually the small child of modest means who, because he was born a white male, has the privilege. As the photographer summarized, "Obama, meet your master."
Pssssssss kid, trust me on this one, you'd much rather be President than pope. That is the actual popemoble you're in.
PX
My what an ugly baby...no candy for you!
As part of the Catholic Church's plan for ending the scandal of its clergy raping children, all Catholic clergy have now been replaced with actual children.
Today, President Obama met with the new Pope Jayden I (also known to his parents and daycare workers as Pope Stinkypants I).
Pope Jayden will be touring North America to meet the faithful and hear their concerns, with occasional visits to play in the McDonald's ball pit, because he loves the McDonald's ball pit.
Anonymous 7:13 wins! Hands down!
That has to be one of the cutest pictures ever.
Liliac@9:53 and Anon@ 7:13, in a tie
Limpbough in a close second.
.
There are some really good ones, though. :)
Aw, you want me to fight climate change? Isn't that just the cutest? Ha, ha!
Just a question. Preface it: Yes, I know questions are agitations here, and are in no way welcomed. However, I'm wondering:
Were this picture of a little black child, and were a white person to say something like "future thug" or "there's a drug dealer in training," or "oh, early welfare starter," etc, would it be considered a leading caption? Not that I find Lilac's stereotyping this white child as a Klansman bad or anything. I'm all for comedy. I just wonder if the reverse of the situation, white people stereotyping a black child as a future fuck-nut criminal, would be embraced and considered giggle fodder among this community.
I'm guessing the answer is hell to the f'n no.
Gee, I guess on other websites no one ever labels a blah child as a future wefare recipient. Would never happen here, oh wait it does. Never mind.
Some people must be bland to the constant anti-blah memes that continuously pollute and site or story remotely associated with blah folk. Selective observation?
Perhaps it's a bad thing to think yourself smarter than what you're able to demonstrate. Just a guess. I's dumb and all.
Did I say or hint in any way that people don't do that when they see a picture of a black child? Of course, we both know the answer: No. Random-ass inferences unrelated entirely to anything.
Does there exist a standard whereby I must include things lest excluding them means I don't believe they exist? What sort of illogical twisting of relative privation is that?
I know that you personally are repulsed by questions. You're an accusation machine. A witch-hunter. A collectivist, identity politics chadrool. "Show muh yer dagreez!" But it's a valid question.
A person who is racially stereotyping an innocent white child as a Klansman is "leading" in Field's fake caption contest. I ask: Would it be the same were this child black and whites were here racially stereotyping him?
From your random-ass nonstarters and straw-men, I take your answer to be, "No, Josh. We would be rather angry and point out how it's racist. I doubt Field would actually allow racist stereotypes levied against blahs to be leading his own caption contest. We would rightfully be angered that people would treat a young blah child like that, exposing their racist ignorance in public view."
You can speak for people; I can speak for you.
So, thanks...
JOSH, "Were this picture of a little black child, and were a white person to say something like "future thug" or "there's a drug dealer in training," or "oh, early welfare starter," etc, would it be considered a leading caption? Not that I find Lilac's stereotyping this white child as a Klansman bad or anything. I'm all for comedy. I just wonder if the reverse of the situation, white people stereotyping a black child as a future fuck-nut criminal, would be embraced and considered giggle fodder among this community."
The answer is "NO". It would not be considered giggle fodder in the black community....only if the kid is White, which is the case.
However, Whites like yourself DO stereotype Blacks as future fuck-nut criminals. And that's without a halloween outfit. They only have to have black skin regardless of what they are wearing.
You see, a n...er is a n....er whether he is wearing clothes with holes in them or a suit like the President or the latest expensive suit like Field wears...either way, they are all the same n...er.
Isn't that how the 'reverse' thought question arose in your unbiased mind?
Anyway, I am glad to see that you are asking a more specific question than the generalized accusatory question you asked in the previous thread. You are coming along just fine.
I predict after staying on FN for 35-40 years you will be a much 'improved' wm. Keep the faith.
"However, Whites like yourself DO stereotype Blacks as future fuck-nut criminals."
Evidence...
Oh, sorry, I forgot to whom I'm speaking here. This is Mr My-Feels-Mean-Something-is-Racist. My bad. I shouldn't have asked you to actually prove a claim true. I understand that, in your world, an accusation is proof; evidence is an unnecessary redundancy. It's literally asking too much and creating a standard that's impossible to request evidence. Because you feel it, you assert it; because it was asserted, it is therefore true.
Magic!
Identical in every way to the guy who said, paraphrased, "If we believe the universe has meaning, the universe has meaning."
Because apparently a thing being either true or untrue hinges entirely on how you feel about it. Fuck all that logical noise about a fact being a fact independent your opinion, observation or participation. Hell nah! Not in sophist collectivist world. If you perceive something, if you feel something, then it is something. "I feel, therefore it is."
So obviously there's no evidence required. You "feel" that you're right, and that thus makes you right. It's all about your perception, your feelings, and the universe catering directly to you at its center.
Probably the fault of white people to boot. You woulda learned to think critically if not for those 400 years. We been holdin' ya down.
"However, Whites like yourself DO stereotype Blacks as future fuck-nut criminals."
Don't waste your time. Josh asks hypothetical questions when the evidence of such exists every day. Josh is just here to ask stupid shit and then argue. "What if a blah child blah blah blah". Josh fails to realize that he is just like all the other racist whites who can only somehow see blah racism and the shaming and abuse aimed at blahs is conveniently ignored. He is either very stupid or the most unaware human being ever in existence.
I predict after staying on FN for 35-40 years you will be a much 'improved' wm. Keep the faith.
-----------------
No, Josh will still be as fucking dumb as he is now. His type is too arrogant to learn anything because he thinks he already knows everything.
Ah, here's a couple more who obviously haven't learned to think critically 'cause those 400 years. Damn white people, forcing black people to illogically argue with ad hominems, nonstarters, straw-men, and by ignoring a necessary burden to support accusations. The struggle.
Damn you, whitey. Damn you to hell!
"Whew. Good thing the little toddler is dressed as the Pope because if the kid's parents had dressed him as a Mullah, I would have had to denounced his parents as racist, insensitive, oppressive whites and that is getting kind of boring."
Sorry I'm so late in getting around to making a comment.
"Sorry little guy but with that white sheet on you had better go live in Oklahoma where they look up to that sort of thing."
Get out of the road! nig---
