Last Friday, superstar blogger "The Field Negro" wrote a post informing his readers of a white racist blog. Mr. Field Negro encouraged his readers or at least gave them the option, to comment on this racist's blog by linking it to his. I won't name the idiot here, you can go to the Field Negro's blog and check it out if your interested.
This clown's blog had very ignorant photos and views of Black folk. One post in particular, was about over weight Black women and "Black men on the Down Low." It was really immature stuff, something you would assume came from an insecure teenager. It's what one would expect from a white hate mongers blog.
Let me say that I like the Field Negro's blog, but this racist clown does not deserve anymore attention then he already receives from his supporters. Furthermore, what would debating a person like this really accomplish? Even the most rational people ( and this idiot is far from rational) can be completely stubborn when it comes to what they believe in. You present an individual with evidence that contradicts one of their core beliefs and they find some other information to support them. Most of our beliefs have a certain emotional component to them, which trumps rational thought, so it's difficult to actually change someone's mind through an argument. The only time people truly change is when they want to or it becomes too uncomfortable to stay the same.
Now, back to the racist idiot. He likes conflict and being a bigoted prick, why else would you write a blog with that kind of message? He needs attention and probably has some insecurity issues, psychological as well. Debating someone like him is a waste of time. Any historical fact you bring up, he'll refute with something he has read that supports white supremacy.
Ultimately, life is short, far too short to waste one minute debating with an internet racist. Better to ignore internet racist and let them rot away in their own hate/misery. They created their own prison.

Then, don't take the bait!
You have to be careful about what you consume because it can "infect" you. Stay away from ignorance, because ignorance is contagious.
Plus, the Field Negro is no better himself. He's an arrogant, pompous jackass who was just shocked to find the white version of him. He's not a good blog friend and I'm surprised that people still follow his blog.
I totally agree with you on this one man. I also agree with your last post. But you know it is always the coach that gets the axe first. Never mind the arogant spoiled jack-asses they have to put up with.
However I could not resist...
I left a comment on that rednecks blog. I have not went back to that garbage to see if anybody responded. But with the ignorance I read, some fool probably has.
It was just too hard not to take a shot like that. It is like leaving a crack head a room full of crack. I had to take a hit.
The fools on that fools blog are just like the white kids we used to beat up in school. Talk loud but when you get ready to put a foot in that ass they cry like the bitch they are.
To me it is funny, but I have never been one to back down from a fight.
I have to echo Go Zack on this, I went there once, made a comment, he went into his education, and all about him being a lawyer. Really, like so what. I deal with lawyers all day, thay are very stupid. Remember most lose cases and it takes five to win one. I haven't been to his blog since. Forget him how have you been doing? You slowed down on posting after your big day? Whats this sports stuff?
I totally agree with you..I saw that post on Feild Negro's Blog and I wondered why he would even entertain this fool. I had a fool like that, that kept posting on my blog. I found out who he was and I threatened to reveal his name if he
continued...(I also contacted him via e-mail and promised to come "visit" him (know what I mean?)if he continued to play on my blog..Haven't heard from him since. But since you can't touch all of the internet fools out there, you are correct when you say you should ignore them.
Zack,
I definitely agree with you about not taking the bait. People like him want attention, which is why I did not link his blog to mine. Also, I agree with you that if you engage unhappy people, they'll infect you with their own discontent. Its better to stay clear of idiot's like this, leave them to their own misery.
As far as The Field Negro, I know you have no love for the man. Although, I don't think Field is as negative as the racist he posted. The Field can go over top sometimes, but I haven't read a post where he spewed racist ideology comparable to the aforementioned idiot.
Peace
Dirty Red,
Your right about it being too hard to resist. As a Black man, it's hard to let shit like that go. With our history in this country, you definitely want to make sure idiot's like that know that it's not the sixties. I respect that you'll never back down.
My only thought is to fight the battles worth fighting, pass on everything else. A guy like that wants to engage and get you upset over the internet, he most definitely would not have the will to do it in person. Don't waste your with men like him. Instead, ask your wife about her day, call moms and see how she's doing, read a book, hell do anything else besides giving a clown like that any second thought.
Peace
Mad Hatter,
I agree with you about him being stupid. Being educated doesn't mean you can't be ignorant, insecure and crazy. The terrorist Mohammed Atta (September 11th) was a top engineering student in Germany, so that shows education does not exempt you from being insane.
Thanks for inquiring about me, I'm doing good. I have slowed down on blogging recently, but I plan to pick up the pace. I'm still adjusting from my "big day," I mean balancing things out.
The sports post is just a little frustration with my local team. They suck and have been terrible for a while now. I'm just frustrated with management, that's all.
Peace
Keith,
It's too bad you had to even deal with that clown, but you handled it well. Life is too short to try and figure out everyone's motivations. Who knows why this nut, claiming to be a lawyer would write such garage. More importantly, who cares? The obvious thing about this guy is that he's unhappy and wants to infect the world with his bug. Ignoring idiot's like him is the only cure, otherwise he'll infect with his misery and bad luck. Its better to ignore idiot's like these if possible.
Field runs comments from time to time about outrageous rednecks. I'm not sure if he does this to keep his black readers too comfortable or he just likes to get a conversation going.
I personally don't entertain them for a second on my blog. I give them the boot, ban and delete their hate, and have only had to do this two or three times this year.
Great point about life being too short to waste time with bigots; it's like arguing with a barking dog when you walk past it's yard.
Hello,
I am not sure if you are "into" the Christmas season, but just in case you are...
I want to speak blessings upon you on this wonderous day of celebration and remembrance of the birth of Jesus Christ!
Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!

"For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
It's basically like running up into an insane asylum and looking to spark debate with the occupants.
"Superstar" Blogger?
What is the definition of a Super Star blogger?
KIT,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and I wish you well in the new year!
Peace
blackwomenblowthetrumpet,
Thanks for wishing me well and the I hope the same for you and your family in the upcoming new year.

Kofi Bofah,
I couldn't agree with you more about debating with ignorant people.
As far as my field negro "Superstar" designation, I have no real definition. I just assigned him that title because he's real popular, as far as folk posting comments and his technorati authority ranking.
Peace
I couldn't agree more with you. We need to relegate these moron to the realm of irrelevancy. Ignore them. Let them not have the slightest effect on your world.
In a few days a black man will become President of the United States. What possible difference could some ignorant, uneducated, backwater fools make?
SagaciousHillbilly,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I agree with you, there's nothing to gain by arguing with ignorant people.
Peace
Howdy
It is my first time here. I just wanted to say hi!
