Let’s Be Clear On “Black Liberation Theology” - Racist Or Not? You Tell Me…
Read the statement below…
“White theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the white community. If God is not for us and against black people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of white theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the white community. . . . White theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the black enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in White Power, which is the power of white 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.”
What kind of church would you call that?
When Sean Hannity grilled the Rev Jeremiah Wright over a year ago, instead of answering a certain question, Wright just kept asking Sean “Have you ever read Dr. James Cone’s book, “Black Power and Black Theology”?
The reference is to Black Liberation Theology, the basis for the foundation of the Rev Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, and many many other churches around America that follow the doctrine laid out by Cone with regard to Black LIberation Theology.
It was born out of a bitterness and antipathy for the white man who had opressed Black America for years, at the height of the Civil Rights Movement in the 60’s.
Jeremiah Wrights church website reads:
“The vision statement of Trinity United Church of Christ is based upon the systematized liberation theology that started in 1969 with the publication of Dr. James Cone’s book, Black Power and Black Theology.”
In this book, Cone stated:
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.
Let me rewrite that, substituting the word “Black” with the word “White” and vice-versa…
White theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the white community.

I ask you again, what would you call this kind of church?
