Black Liberation Theology

While the controversy over Obama’s pastor may have fallen by the wayside because of Ayers and ACORN, this close 20 year relationship speaks more to the character of Barack Obama than any other. Inspired by Wright, Obama wrote “Audacity of Hope.”
When Rev. Jeremiah Wright was interviewed by Sean Hannity in May, 2007. Wright kept repeating to Hannity over and over that if he didn’t know what Black Liberation Theology was, or if he hadn’t read the books of James Cone, then he couldn’t understand the black value system. So what is Black Liberation Theology and who is James Cone?
James Cone started teaching Black Liberation Theology in the 60’s during the civil rights movement and in his book “Black Theology Black Power,” he explained what it is:
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.
Obama and his family have had 20 years of indoctrination in Africentric Christianity, which based on the “Black Value System” of Cone’s Black Liberation Theology, is separatist and racist, yet Obama claims his candidacy “transcends race.”
Somehow that doesn’t quite ring true, since every time in this political campaign that anything negative is brought up about Obama’s past associations or criticism is made about his plan for America, his campaign uses the race card. Accusations of racism abound from every side to try and silence his critics. The race card was even used against Bill Clinton during the primaries...so a liberal like Bill, who was a friend to blacks during his Presidency, is not even exempt from these accusations.
Obama’s first response to the exposure of Jeremiah Wright’s racist anti-American sermons was that he was his spiritual advisor and mentor and he could no more repudiate him then he could his white grandmother. Only after Rev. Wright became too hot politically for Obama, did he finally denounce Wright and then later when it still wouldn’t go away, he pulled his family’s membership from Trinity United Church of Christ.
It makes a “thinker” wonder about the true impact of this indoctrination on Barack Obama and his family and after 20 years under the teaching of Black Liberation Theology, what is his real plan for America? Who is Barack Obama?...does anyone really know?
