Chicago's Trinity United tied to founder of black liberation theology

WASHINGTON --Jesus is black. Merging Marxism with Christian Gospel may show the way to a better tomorrow. The white church in America is the Antichrist because it supported slavery and segregation. Those are some of the more provocative doctrines that animate the theology at the core of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Barack Obama's church.

I’m not so much outraged at being stereotyped as a “typical white person” as I am at the idea that he thinks its OK for him to say this in light of what would happen in reverse.

He hasn’t answered ANY questions.

I cannot see him winning the GE after this.

I am not going to explain it to you if you don’t want to take the time to read it [three pages].

The remark in itself wasn’t my point- it’s informative to me in light of reading the Black Value System. It’s a dramatically unusual way of viewing America. Given the time (and $) Obama has invested in Trinity- “typical white person” seems a likely result of such indoctrination..

It would seem quite natural for someone with a Muslim father. This is just the “Americanized” version of Islam

Black liberation theology and islam are both heresies of Christianity.
