I found this quote particularly interesting:
“We have no shortage of moral fervor,” said Obama. “We have some wonderful preachers in town—preachers who continue to inspire me—preachers who are magnificent at articulating a vision of the world as it should be. In every church on Sunday in the African-American community we have this moral fervor; we have energy to burn.
“But as soon as church lets out, the energy dissipates. We must find ways to channel all this energy into community building. The biggest failure of the civil rights movement was in failing to translate this energy, this moral fervor, into creating lasting institutions and organizational structures.”
Does Pastor Wright present what “should be”?
The Obama families’ pastor, Jeremiah Wright, like his teacher and mentor, James Cone, even tell God who he has to be in order for blacks to accept him. Their arrogance knows no bounds.
James Cone:
“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.” Divine Racism: http://www.amazon.ca/God-White-Racist-Jones-W/dp/toc/0807010332
Here’s a 20 minute YOUTUBE interview with James Cone (hear the racist hate-monger for yourself): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1X5sZ6Q4Fw
