I didn’t realize he has been a Senator for 11 years?
I’ve noted your kicking about this apt linking of ressentiment to Obama for some time here; I’m glad you put it together in a good article and hope you will email it along to prominent bloggers who might post it.
Wright teaches Black Liberation Theology that was the creation of the black radical James Hal Cone, who took the Latin American Liberation Theology that had been created by Marxists to lure poor catholics into their "revolution" (because they knew their totally Godless marxism would not work), and revamped it for blacks in America.
This theology teaches that Christ was an oppressed black man living under whitey rule (the Romans) who was as much or more of a social revolutionary against white oppression as he was about spiritual salvation. In this sense, the theology is much closer to what the Islamics teach about Christ than what true Christians teach about Him.
It is a hate-filled, bigoted, anti-American, race bating, marxist construct. Here is what it's creator, James Hal Cone, says about it, the same James Hal Cone who Wright constantly refers to and holds up as an icon:
"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."This then is the trough from which Barack Hussein Obama has fed and the well from which he has drunk deeply for the past 20+ years.
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY AND OBAMA'S CHURCH
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - OBAMA'S CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AND SUPPORT
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
State Senator. He is still on his first term as a US Senator.
Thank you. That’s an interesting analysis. Your explanation of how “ressentiment” can turn to resentment and then (occasionally) to violence, makes sense.
If I said a senator for 11 years that is a typo. I am so tired of editing and putting links into this article, that I will not read it again.

Ok, cause I just ranted for days to people about someone with only a few years experience as a senator wanting to be president. Wanted to be sure I didn’t make an ass out of myself. But great article!
Obama's sponsor is George Soros and the moveon.org crowd. They are smarter than the Pendergast machine because they wanted to make sure their boy was loyal before they sponsored him.
While the Pendergasts were small-time crooks satisfied with graft, skimming public dollars and lining their pockets, Soros will be satisfied with nothing less than world domination.
It was Niebuhr, not Nietzsche that the Black Liberationists use as the basis for their political theology. They also take a lot from Tillich, like his God as the ultimate concern and Jesus as the ultimate role model rather than a sovereign being.
Obama has mentioned the relationship between Wright and Niebuhr and Tillich several times, both in his books and in interviews.
I think a huge contributor to these low IQ issues, among any race -there’s plenty of stupid white people in my neighborhood- is the issue of prenatal and first year health. A poor diet while pregnant and in the first year are going to cause some irreversible setbacks to the child’s intelligence.
The huge numbers of teen pregnancies and babies born without a solid family structure that encourages people to take care of each other contributes to the breakdown of passing down needed child-raising knowledge. Additionally, the selfish aspect of single parenthood/multiple fathers creates an environment where someone won’t do what’s best for the baby/family, but will do what gives them the most short-term satisfaction.

This is an excellent essay; was it written for a wider audience as well?
Reading it with an editor’s eye there were virtually no flaws other than the most minor: using there for their; where for were; buy for by [in a quote?]; using guilt as a verb (pet peeve); using not for no; and a single omission of an article, “it”, near the end.
I think I know more about the whole subject now and may even read further if Obama succeeds in this “race.”
As far as Black Theology is concerned, their methods are like a man reaching for a bigger club only to find his hand full of God and smashing all in his path with Him.
Again, Excellent work.

Heh. You have just described the effects of the Democrats’ “Great Society” welfare state on the urban black family. The welfare check replaced the father, and it was all downhill from there.
No wonder blacks hate the Democrats so much.

Sorry to nitpick, but I think you mean “Bill Cosby”, not “Bill Crosby”.
Uh...that was in the article posted by shrinkermd, not in my reply in post 4.
Well, unfortunately that urban baby mama garbage has filtered down into every town. Across the street from me lives a young woman, her 3 kids from at least 2 different men, plus her mother. To my right are the new neighbors, another young unmarried woman with 3 kids (perhaps from the same father) and an assortment of other men come and go and it’s unclear who may be family, friend, or lover. It’s really disheartening. The longer it goes on and the more dumb kids they raise, the harder it will be to recover. I really think (part of) the answer is for conservatives to “counter-infiltrate” the public schools and other places of influence.
A lot of focus should immediately be placed on the prospect of a Kenyan co-president, a fellow Marxist who could find himself as an unofficial Presidential Advisor to Obama and, as well, an unofficially appointed US Cabinet member with perhaps more negative influence than Obamas’ loose cannon wife. Odinga is Obamas’ first cousin. Here is the link discussing what should become a major topic...Obamas high level African connections. Kenya has many relations to Iran and Islamic interests...the LINK: http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/2649
First cousins are important!! Maurice Strongs’ (Of world evironmental movement, Energy Minister of Canada, UN office right across from Sec Gens., ...google Henry Lamb Maurice Strong for info) first cousin was a deceased US communist who travelled with Mao on the Long March, and was granted her own mausoleum outside of Beijing by Mao...Maurice Strong ...Mr. Strong has excellent relations with China. The Kenyan co-president can expect good relations with Obama, and Iran will have an indirect/direct pipeline to Obama. What have the Dims offered us for President? Obama is a potential Trojan horse for so many negative and enemy interest it boggles the mind...who needs enemies when the Dims offer this?
