Bull Squat!
One should STOP reading right there...
On national television, during an Interview with Hannity - Rev. Wright himself claimed he was a student, follower and preacher of "Black Liberation Theology"....
The author of this article is trying to separate Obama from the 100% racist, hateful and segregationist dogma of "Black Liberation Theology"..
For a quick study of "Black Liberation Theology" go here:

The theologian (Cone) 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.
Rather than viewing God as a sovereign being who does as he wills according to his purposes, Cone insists God must do what we want him to do, or we must reject him.
What the black community wants, Cone says, is for God to assist in its goal of destroying "the white enemy."
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

This is hardly, "Christian"!
It is interesting to note that, while The United Church of Christ “doesn’t” teach Black Liberation Theology, Trinity United Church of Christ most assuredly is steeped in it, and DOES teach it.
The national high poobah of the United Church of Christ is “a little, old white lady”, who is a member of Trinity United Church of Christ.
Also interesting to note is an assertion I saw from the national leadership, that Trinity is considered a ‘flagship church” in the denomination; and a “destination church” for any UCC members visiting the Chicago area.
IF the UCC doesn’t generally teach BLT, they certainly understand & condone it nationally.
