Black Liberation Theology

[Sam]

Ref the video located at:
http://www.eyeblast.tv/Public/Video.aspx?rsrcID=2036

It's long (13 minutes) and repeats some of the stuff we've heard before
but
toward the end it addresses "Black Liberation Theology."

Is this an accurate depiction of "Black Liberation Theology" and the teaching that Barack Hussein Obama and his wife and children have been receiving over their years of association with Rev. Wright and that particular church?

Per wiki

Black theology is theology from the perspective of the African diaspora - any people or ethnic population forced or induced to leave their traditional homelands. The message of black theology is that the African American struggle for liberation is consistent with the gospel--every theological statement must be consistent with, and perpetuate, the goals of liberation. This theology maintains that African Americans must be liberated from multiple forms of bondage—social, political, economic and religious. This liberation involves empowerment and seeks the right of self-definition, self-affirmation and self-determination.

The words spoken by Cone and others about Black Liberation Theology are words filled, brimming, running over and saturated with hate, prejudice, racism and malice.

They are words that would land the (to steal Obama's words) "typical white" man in a lynching of a court trial tried in the press and on the air waves.

If one ounce of this frame of mind rests in Obama then he is not an acceptable candidate for the presidency. If one ounce of this frame of mind rests in Obama then he is not an acceptable candidate for a boy scout leader.

Why is it that "minorities" can say stuff like this
but
"typical white" folks can't?

He's been sitting under that theology (under Rev. Jeremiah Wright) since 1992. Does anyone really think he hasnt been influenced by it?

Because their history is different

He claims the Rev. J. Wright as his spiritual mentor. He and his wife and children have sat under that teaching for years now. That's all his children know.

Well, his wife was never in her life proud to be an American until her husband was successfully running in the presidential primaries.

Minorities feel that they can speak this way because they feel that their history is different. Its the whole slave deal that their forefathers went thru, it still leaves a bunch of them upset over this. Elucidated now? Sheesh, give a guy a readers digest and boy do they start speaking differently!!! lol

I think Liberation Theology is misguided, however, I don't think it's a major issue. Even our own theology appears venomously biggoted to others. I'm sure if a Oneness Apostolic were running for office you'd hear crazy attacks on our standards our women hold, what we believe about gays, how we believe not only that Jesus is the only way to Heaven, but how one must be Apostolic Christian to go to Heave, etc. It's easy to color the water and paint somone badly (conservative or liberal) without honestly understanding what they truly believe and how they view it. I think for most Americans they don't care what a candidate's religious views are. I believe most Americans want to know about who's policies will best address the issues they are facing right now.
