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.)" ~Philebrity~
"One of the most precocious and hilarious Black political minds on the net. Ive been a long-time fan!" ~Asad Malik~
"..While most of what he writes is tongue-in-cheek, his space is a safe house for candid discussions about race, especially in the comments section, where people of all colors meet." ~~Daniel Rubin, "The Philadelphia Inquirer"~~
"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."
~~Richard Fausset, "L.A. Times"~~~
"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."

"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." ~Howard Witt-The Chicago Tribune~
"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." ~Chicago Tribune Reporter, Howard Witt~

"A real Field Negro leaves the Plantation"
The Clinton Foundation says that if Hillary Clinton is elected president, it will no longer accept foreign and corporate donations.
So...tell us again why it was perfectly OK when she was the United States' top diplomat?
While Obama golfs and Hillary urinates into a bag, Donald Trump is speaking up for black folk!!!
Maybe if I hold this stupid sign for a while I'll get one of those sweet jobs at Trump TV after he loses...

If all of us Trump supporters are racists, does that mean all of Hillary's supporters are criminals?

"Yeah homey,I like to let to advertise my house negro,buckwheat,brainless mentality!!"
...by conforming with the brainless masses through my unthinking support of the choice of the establishment, Hillary Clinton.
Anon@9:38 in the lead, and Anon@9:27 a close second.
Trump caught me with Melania and threatened to tell my wife unless I did this. That's the ONLY way I'd do this...

Donald Trump is a shadow cast by the statue of the needs of the people.
The media attacks shadow.
Vote Trump! He will cover PR with a screen to filter out the Sahara Dust that's keeping Lilac hospitalized! Prayers needed!
Lilac from the hospital bed :(
I hope lilac ends up in the morgue.
