The Great Liberal/Conservative Media Fraud

Stop Obama Now!! - San Diego ^ | 8/17/2001 | Roger-SD

This is the way it seems to work. The media on the left and the right want to keep people outraged enough about the misguided actions of the other side to keep them tuning in every night. But they don’t want to generate enough controversy that it scares the sponsors away or maybe even causes a boycott of their sponsors, as happened to Glenn Beck.

For that reason, the conservative media refuses to fully address what Black Liberation Theology, the doctrine of Obama’s church, is really about, the destruction of America’s democratic political institutions, so-called white society and the traditional church. It would be much too controversial. If the public is going to understand this, -- and I think that it is very important that they do -- then it has to bubble up from the Internet.

This is not easy, because the brainwashing of big media is very difficult to overcome. However, over the last three years, more and more people are talking about it.

You can read several dozen quotes from the James H. Cone’s foundation books on Liberation Theology at this link. A printable file is available there for download, also.

Shocking quotes from Black Liberation Theology

I believe it is important for people to understand, so that we do not set a precedent that it is acceptable for a person with this kind of hate-America hate-whitey cult religious belief to become president. For me that is not okay, dammit!!

We can't read Obama's mind to know exactly what his beliefs are, but it is not acceptable for him to have belonged to such a group in the first place. He never repudiated it, because they never fully explained what it is about and also did not question him directly about the tenets of Black Liberation Theology.

The least that should happen is that he should be given the opportunity to repudiate directly those racist and hate-America tenets of Black Liberation Theology. I think that he fully believes in the tenets of Black Liberation Theology and would like to make those beliefs reality via the presidency, if he is just given the opportunity.

One of the pillars of Obama’s home church, Trinity United Church of Christ, is “economic parity.” On the website, Trinity claims that God is not pleased with “America’s economic mal-distribution.” Among all of controversial comments by Jeremiah Wright, the idea of massive wealth redistribution is the most alarming. The code language “economic parity” and references to “mal-distribution” is nothing more than channeling the twisted economic views of Karl Marx. Black Liberation theologians have explicitly stated a preference for Marxism as an ethical framework for the black church because Marxist thought is predicated on a system of oppressor class (whites) versus victim class (blacks).

Black Liberation theologians James Cone and Cornel West have worked diligently to embed Marxist thought into the black church since the 1970s. For Cone, Marxism best addressed remedies to the condition of blacks as victims of white oppression. In For My People, Cone explains that “the Christian faith does not possess in its nature the means for analyzing the structure of capitalism. Marxism as a tool of social analysis can disclose the gap between appearance and reality, and thereby help Christians to see how things really are.”

In God of the Oppressed, Cone said that Marx’s chief contribution is “his disclosure of the ideological character of bourgeois thought, indicating the connections between the ‘ruling material force of society’ and the ‘ruling intellectual’ force.” Marx’s thought is useful and attractive to Cone because it allows black theologians to critique racism in America on the basis of power and revolution.

If you think it’s Marxism, then you have missed the boat. Read Cone’s books. Don’t be willfully ignorant. It’s counter-productive.

Lol

And this would be the group of people that the “Republican” party needs to reach out to?

[Roger-SD]

God of the Oppressed is Cone’s third book and he talks about dozens of different people in his books. One sentence does not mean the theology is based on Marx. Marxism is hardly the only revolutionary ideology. I don’t believe Marx is even mentioned once in Cone’s first two books. People need to learn how to analyze and think critically. This is really embarrassing that Americans can’t figure this out after three freaking years already. You’re grabbing at a straw. Black Nationalism is worse than Marxism, because it is inherently a genocidal concept. Stop giving Obama a pass with your ignorance.

[Herbster]

“There are degrees of racism. BLT is not just racist, but is genocidal in its concept. That should have been fully explained to the public. To say it is Marxism, just clouds the issue. It’s actually worse that Marxism. The concept is like a black version of Nazism.’”

It is totally obvious when one actually listens to convicted Mandel-la and the others in South Africa.

Please remember that us fellow FReepers like God's natural Honey more that ridicule. OK Bro?

[Chaguito]

OK, I yield. Clearly you are pretty sensitive about this.

[Herbster]

Give em a break...

“Black theology must realize that the white Jesus has no place in the black community, and it is our task to destroy him. We must replace him with the black messiah, as Albert Cleage would say, a messiah who sees his existence as inseparable from black liberation und the destruction of white racism.” Cone

“When we apply this view of God’s revelation to the existing situation of blacks in America, we immediately realize that the black revolution in America is the revelation of God. Revelation means black power-that is, the “complete emancipation of black people from white oppression by whatever means black people deem necessary.”’It is blacks telling whites where to get off, and a willingness to accept the consequences.” Cone

“Black theology does not deny that all persons are sinners. What it denies is white reflections on the sin of blacks. Only blacks can speak about sin in a black perspective and apply it to black and white persons. The white vision of reality is too distorted and renders whites incapable of talking to the oppressed about their shortcomings.” Cone

I will spam this thread and leave. (Nice to meet you all)

I am watching less and less Fox News. It has all degenerated into a bunch of wind-up motor mouths voicing faux opposition to each other. And all the while, both sides are clearly moving inexorably toward the middle where it is safe and lucrative.
