Obama’s religion of Black Liberation Theology

Posted on by Don

You do not stay in a church for 22 years unless you agree with most of its theology and their Black Liberation Theology is well documented even apart from the statements of its former racist pastor. Obama might have joined them for political reasons but if you are going to flock together with racists do not whine when people consider you one. He also has not left the church in spite of their continuing emphasis on race. In reality I think Obama is a Universalist that will identify with any religion if it will help him achieve his political goals. He also obviously thinks like a socialist Marxist it is reflected in his voting record and that also is the thinking of many within Black Liberation Theology. The Bible makes no distinctions between race in Christ but Obama’s Black Liberation Theology is all about race. If he don’t see the conflict we should.

The leading theorist of Black Liberation Theology is James Cone. Overtly racist, Cone’s writings posit a black Jesus who leads African-Americans as the “chosen people.” In Cone’s cosmology, whites are “the devil,” and “all white men are responsible for white oppression.” Cone makes this point without ambiguity: “This country was founded for whites and everything that has happened in it has emerged from the white perspective,” Cone has written. “What we need is the destruction of whiteness, which is the source of human misery in the world.”

If whiteness stands for all that is evil, blackness symbolizes all that is good. “Black theology,” says Cone, “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.” Small wonder that some critics have condemned black liberation theology as “racist idolatry” and “Afro-Nazism.”

Furthermore, according to Cone, “black values” are superior to American values. Sure enough, the “About Us” statement on Trinity’s web page includes the following Cone-inspired declaration: “We are an African people, and remain ‘true to our native land,’ the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.”

Could it be that the real motivators for black amorality and hatred is the type of churches leaders […]...
