Re: Wright launches into a review of black liberation theology. "I do not in any way disagree with James Cone. Jim is a personal friend of mine."

From: Black liberation theology Wikipedia article

James Cone defines the theology as thus:
"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." * A Black Theology of Liberation By James H. Cone 1990 ISBN-10: 0883446855 Page 27

The mirror image of white supremacist preaching about the mud races and how the earth was made for the white man. No body accepts that kind of hate today. Why should we accept it from James Cone's acolyte?
