"Half a century after Little Rock, the Montgomery bus boycott and the tumultuous dawn of the modern civil rights era, the new face of the movement is Facebook, MySpace and some 150 black blogs united in an Internet alliance they call the
AfroSpear.
Older, familiar leaders such as Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, are under challenge by a younger generation of bloggers known by such provocative screen names as Field Negro, thefreeslave
and African American Political Pundit. And many of the newest struggles are being waged online."

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."

HaHa first Nesta Carter, now Usain Bolt gets caught doping. BUT, Bolt is like Carl Lewis when he got caught in 1988, too big to be brought down, so he gets another chance to get it together. Perhaps he visits his German Doctor who'll transform him from Clark Kent to Superman once again. Sorry to hate Field but I don't believe the 'official story'.

"Chris,I need a milk shake with my fries!"
My Butt Trumpet is louder than yours ...
You can have the White House ... I'll take White Castle any time ...
Christie: "What about the anonymous commenters staking out predominantly diverse forums to spread fear, racism and misogyny"?
Trump: "We'll continue encouraging these anonymous souls to take a stand against the PC forces."
Christie: "That's a brilliant way to sidestep the common decency of civil discourse."
Trump: "I'm right, you know... This'll win me the election. And these anons will be so out in the open saying whatever that they'll get sick of having the upper hand with the PC crowd."
Christie: "I so love this guy."
Trump: "As you should... Now run along so I can talk to Indiana Gov. Mike Pence about being my running mate."
