I'm out of pocket right now field hands, but I will be posting again really soon.
Sadly, we have just started the trump-shutdown, but try to enjoy the holiday season.

"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 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."

Fag Negro is a hack.
The government only shuts down under micro dick white boys, especially ones as retarded as Butt Trumpet.
Happy Holidays, Field, to you and your family. Thank you for this blog and for what you do to make this world a better place.
Good on you for at least attempting to discuss something important like the government shutdown and the disease that is Trump. It's better than whining about trivial things like a "racist" caricature in a movie or TV show, or "cultural appropriation." It would be better for everyone if minorities and POC's get their priorities in order.
This blog is boring af.

Valerie, are you black? Have you ever lived with someone black or had a very close friend who was black? Otherwise how can you possibly take it upon yourself to give advice to black people regarding what their priorities should be?

You duh man!
"Otherwise how can you possibly take it upon yourself to give advice to black people regarding what their priorities should be?"
Good question. I've been asking the same thing for years. I have family and friends who are doing quite well without unsolicited advice. I know blah doctors, lawyers, police officers, military officers, teachers and of course pilots. I think you hit the nail on the head when you say this person probably doesn't know any blah people because there are winners and losers of all stripes and no one is more inherently blessed simply by the color of ones' skin but as we can tell that lesson has never truly permeated some lesser minds.
You're right Gambler2. I found living as the only white person in a black household to be an eye-opener about issues that I had previously believed I had a handle on.

Stoopid fucking wingnut congresscritter doesn't think furloughed workers need next paycheck.
Neither do the stoopid fuckers that shut the government down.
The Supreme Court has ruled that Trump can't just rip up treaties he doesn't like. Signed international treaties have the binding force of law.
He cannot prevent people from applying for asylum when they have entered the U.S. illegally, rather than at an established border checkpoint as Trump insists they must. The asylum treaty we have signed doesn't say that, so Trump, naturally, cannot do that. Anyone who has entered the U.S., whenever and wherever, has the right to apply for asylum.

I’ve joked that Trump will abscond with the funds from the border wall GoFundMe. But even if Crooked Donald didn’t try to steal all that MAGA moron money (he absolutely will do this, though, if you make out the check to him personally), there is still likely to be a major problem with this wingnut scheme:
Private citizens can’t build the wall themselves, because it would be located on government land, or require the government to acquire rights to the land, at any rate. And yet, here’s the thing, even if money is donated to the federal government expressly for the purpose of building the wall, that does not actually compel the government to spend the money building a wall.
That’s right, any money they donate to the federal government goes into the general fund, and Congress decides what to do with it. So, it’ll go to the EPA and national parks and food stamps and interstate highway construction and ...
In other words, STILL NO WALL FOR YOU, RACIST REDNECKS, HAHAHAHAHA!

These stoopid sonsabitches can't govern to save themselves. They haven't a clew how to investigate Democrats. They can't get out of their own way. This is the third shutdown since they gained control of all three branches of gubmint. If another stoopid fucking wingnut gets elected they would have to cheat.

What's the matter with you, Honey? You can dish it out, but you can't take it? In the famous words of President Truman: "If it's too hot for you, get the hell out of the kitchen!" Have a nice night.
ccording to MoJo’s Rebecca Leber, the Environmental Protection Agency (protecting the environment is right there in its name!) is now “fact-checking” the multi-agency, peer-reviewed National Climate Assessment with citations to… The Daily Caller. What could go wrong?
The way GoFundMe works, there's about twelve million dollars sitting in the bank account of a wingnut hustler right now.
Even if he doesn't steal it, which would actually be harder than it sounds, there's still a substantial amount of interest that he will make off with when he is forced to admit that he can't build anything with that money without congress' approval.
This is such a stupid, transparent, scam that it reminds me a little of my initial reaction to Fergus' candidacy: "So now people are going to send their money to Donald the fuck Trump. Real people will send real American money to Donald the fuck Trump. I wonder if he can get them to quack like ducks when they do it?"
So let's imagine that they raise a billion dollars, or about one twenty-fifth of the cost of building a 2000 mile long monument to bigotry, racism, and malignant narcissism on our southern border, what then? Where, exactly, do these generous souls sending in their money believe they are gonna build their "border wall"? Do they think that there is a 2000 mile easement running along the lower edge of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas? And that it would just sort of be OK if they start a major construction project on it?
This is such a hollow transparent grift that I kind of wonder whether Newt Gingrich had anything to do with it.

Nice contribution to the post, VCC. Make a real effort, will you? Or is that asking too much?
And it's time to play GUESS THE RACE! the game in which we describe an incident and YOU get to guess the race of the people involved!
Today's incident comes from the pages of the Dallas Morning News:
"Employees at a FedEx Ground facility in Hutchins were arrested this week after two package handlers were accused of stealing nearly $50,000 in cellphones and paying a manager and security guard to ignore the crimes.
"The employees, 47-year-old Larry Poole and 58-year-old Wade Hal, were expected to arrive at the facility at 11 p.m. When they arrived, the manager and a team of security guards watched through a security camera as the duo unloaded trailers at the business, the warrants state.
"Poole and Hal removed phones from packages that were shipped to the facility and placed them in two backpacks, according to the warrants.
"The duo was suspected of paying a manager, 31-year-old Anthony Edison, and a security guard, 33-year-old Ricky Lacy, to "turn their face the other way" during the crime, the documents state.
"Officers confronted Poole and Hal and discovered they had 94 cellphones and an Apple Watch, according to the warrants. The items were valued at $48,390.
"Hal admitted to stealing the phone, but told officers he was instructed and paid to do so by Poole, the warrants states. Poole denied being involved, but the warrants state he was seen wearing one of the backpacks used in the theft earlier that day."
Now, can you... guess the race?
"And it's time to play GUESS THE RACE! the game in which we describe an incident and YOU get to guess the race of the people involved!"
It's time to play selectively pick the worst stories to somehow confirm an inherent bias. Sounds like a blast.
It's time for "Yeah, that's definitely white folks shit." In this episode we have a mother who shot her daughter in the face and killed her because she called 9-1-1 to help save the family from execution. Hmmmmmmmm, stealing boxes vs. shooting your entire family which seems a bit more fucked up?

Let's play Guess the Race- A wasicu wsstey Pennsylvania former pediatrician admitted to molesting 2 family members and at least 2 dozen patients-boys and girls. One victim was 2 weeks old.
State had a chance to stop him years ago for molesting a 4 year old girl and another patient. The state regulators threw out the case and allowed this white monster to continue molesting. Ban you guess the race of whitey child molestor? Sure you can.

I checked out the story, and the race or races of the individuals involved
were not mentioned.
Here's another story in the same newspaper that 'guess the race' didn't mention - Texas Man kills Wife and Her Sister, Three Kids Escape Murder Suicide. The killer wasn't black, so I guess the violence doesn't count or doesn't bear mentioning.
Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Could we also play guess the political party?
1) Which party lied us into a war in Iraq over daddy issues, then mismanaged it so horribly that fifteen years later the middle east is still in chaos, Al Qaeda is still operating there when they weren't even in Iraq pre-invasion, and three terrorist groups have spun off from them, one of which we just fucked the Kurds over for fighting for us in the new "Mission Accomplished" moment sans aircraft carrier because Fergus is far too fat and cowardly to ride in a fighter jet and land on that short of a runway, at the cost of a trillion US dollars and somewhere between a half million and a million ordinary lives?
2) Which party tortured people over the above mentioned war?
3) Which party is dead-set on poor people dying without access to health care?
4) Which party is actively trying to return the air and water to 1970s levels of pollution?
5) Which party cast the most votes in their entire twisted history of presidential primaries for a bomb-throwing amateur who happens to know how to exploit their carefully cultivated bigotry and paranoia over sixteen other execrable but far more capable and qualified candidates?
I could go on.
You get the point, if you are capable of getting points.
Just as a side note, which party is the white nationalist party?

"Just as a side note, which party is the white nationalist party?"
The Whigs?
The Whigs made way for the Know Nothings who were beaten by the newly minted Republican party, back when the Republicans were an attempt at balancing out the xenophobic paranoia of the Know Nothings.
There are many parallels between the collapse of the Whigs and the deterioration of the modern Republican party, and Driftglass always accuses David Brooks of writing "Whig fan fiction" in the New York Times...

December 23, 2018 By: Juanita Jean Herownself
This morning’s news reports from Indonesia are devastating.
It appears that the United States isn’t a big help. From the science writer at Forbes …
Normally when something like this happens, I turn to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and their excellent post-earthquake/tsunami reports to get much of my information. Unfortunately, as you may have noticed, the US government is partially shut down, which means none of their employees can update the system to explain what’s going on.

"I checked out the story, and the race or races of the individuals involved were not mentioned."
You didn't check out the story, because the one perp whose photo was posted was obviously a high-yallah and the ones stupid and corrupt enough to be bought off so cheaply could never have been other than at least half African.
The iron rule of Black-Run America is that if an African is accused of a crime, the Lying Liberal Media will NOT mention the race or run a picture identifying him as African. That rule is in full evidence here.
If the perp was white, no effort would be spared to make it certain.
Glad to hear that, Doug. I wondered if anyone bothered with the beauty Mother Nature provides for free. It was cloudy all night in iowa Friday.
Next full moon in January will be spectacular blood moon and will be the closest to the Earth. I have an unobstructed view to the East from the end of my lane. I can see the moon rise after it clears the ground clutter to the East. I can sit in the warmth of my old red wreck Jeep and enjoy the night skies for free.

Well I did check out the story, and I saw the picture of the man of which you speak. However that tells us nothing about the others involved. And if the others were "at least half African" as you claim, they must have been at least half white.
So unless you have pictures of the other men, all you can do is speculate.
"unless you have pictures of the other men, all you can do is speculate."
We know that the media does everything it can to hide the blackness of the criminal perpulation (because admitting it "contributes to stereotypes"), and never hesitates to not merely identify by photo but pre-convict whites before trial, so the failure to print the pictures of the other 3 conspirators is as good as proof that they are black.

Not that I've noticed except for the major mass killers like the Las Vegas shooter and Dylann Roof.
If you didn't notice that pictures of Dylann Roof and Stephen Paddock were all over the news coverage within hours of the event, you are either blind or lying to yourself.
Lying to yourself is the easiest way to deny the immutable genetic reality of race.
