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.<\/p>\n

The leading theorist of Black Liberation Theology is James Cone. Overtly racist, Cone\u2019s writings posit a black Jesus who leads African-Americans as the \u201cchosen people.\u201d In Cone\u2019s cosmology, whites are \u201cthe devil,\u201d and \u201call white men are responsible for white oppression.\u201d Cone makes this point without ambiguity: \u201cThis country was founded for whites and everything that has happened in it has emerged from the white perspective,\u201d Cone has written. \u201cWhat we need is the destruction of whiteness, which is the source of human misery in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
If whiteness stands for all that is evil, blackness symbolizes all that is good. \u201cBlack theology,\u201d says Cone, \u201crefuses 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.\u201d Small wonder that some critics have condemned black liberation theology as \u201cracist idolatry\u201d and \u201cAfro-Nazism.\u201d<\/p>\n
Furthermore, according to Cone, \u201cblack values\u201d are superior to American values. Sure enough, the \u201cAbout Us\u201d statement on Trinity\u2019s web page includes the following Cone-inspired declaration: \u201cWe are an African people, and remain \u2018true to our native land,\u2019 the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
