The peculiar theology of black liberation
AsiaTimes Online ^ | 3-18-2008 | SPENGLER

During the black-power heyday of the late 1960s, after the murder of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr, the mentors of Wright decided that blacks were the Chosen People. James Cone, the most prominent theologian in the "black liberation" school, teaches that Jesus Christ himself is black. As he explains:

Christ is black therefore not because of some cultural or psychological need of black people, but because and only because Christ really enters into our world where the poor were despised and the black are, disclosing that he is with them enduring humiliation and pain and transforming oppressed slaves into liberating servants.

There is no way Obama can say he is a part of Trinity and still claim he's a post racial candidate.

“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. “

THE MOST INFLAMMATORY PART OF THE ARTICLE.

Wasn’t it in his first autobiography that he says that the official tenets of the church were among the first things he saw—and because he liked them, he decided to get involved there?

Jesus came to free the slaves - 1500 years before Europeans enslaved them, 800 years before the Arabs enslaved them.

This is scarey stuff. And Obama listened to this for 20 yrs??? I would say he is truly brain-washed by now.
