A Closer Look at Black Liberation Theology (NPR covers for Obama)

We might have hoped that the ONE place in America that we could count on for words aimed at bringing people together and reconciling all Americans to one another would come from the pulpits of America’s churches.

Silly me. I keep losing sight of the fact that we live on planet Earth.

The rantings of certain Islamic “clerics” would fit right in at more than a few American “Christian” churches.

I guess we just don't understand.

Courtesy comment:

About the only difference between Obamas form of Christianity and Islam is the number of virgins a church member will receive for cutting off Whitey's head to achieve their racists goals.

Here’s a nice quote from Rev. Cone one of the seminal preachers of BLT, as reported in WSJ online.

What Obama is evading is that this “profoundly distorted view” is not just some passing emotion. It is what Wright himself, in the “talking points” page of his congregation’s Web site, describes as “systematized black liberation theology.” As we noted yesterday, Wright credits James Cone of New York’s Union Theological Seminary with having undertaken this systematization. Here again is Cone’s description of black liberation theology:

Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. . . . Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.

He denounced the harshness of Wright's words — not because they were false,.....

So Obama believes that it's TRUE that the Government introduced AIDS to kill the Blacks?

So Obama believes that it's TRUE that 9/11 was "our chickens coming home to roost"?

Just wanted to be clear on his values..

I heard a preacher once say that the Israelites were allowed to take all of their possessions with them when they left Egypt, but slaves were told to leave the plantation empty handed.

Les' see... 40 acres and a mule adjusted for inflation... interest over 100 years...

Jeremiah Wright believes the US government created AIDS to kill "people of color." Obama hasn't said if this is one of the statements he dissociates himself from.

On Monday night an Obama spokesman told Bill O'Reilly that the US government infected black men with syphilis in the Tuskegee syphilis experiment. That would have put the US government on a par with Nazi Germany, and would be similar to what Wright is saying about AIDS, but it isn't true. The men in the Tuskegee experiment had acquired syphilis on their own before they were recruited into the experiment.

That's not to excuse how they were treated, which was outrageous, but the version that was spouted on O'Reilly's program would have been far worse. Unfortunately O'Reilly was too ignorant to point out the truth.

Did Obama’s mouthpiece also mention the Johns and military men who were slipped LSD without consent as part of MK-ULTRA?

Or do science experiments on white people not count?
