A “black” man is running for president of the most powerful country on the face of the planet … and just a few short days ago was caught demeaning “small town” people for being devoted to their religion(s).

He needs “liberated” how??!!??

Can’t comment on anything other than the drooling stupidity of those first two words.

[Can’t seem to remember how to use first person pronouns, either. Must…get…to…utility belt!]

I have been studying critical race theory and critical racial jurisprudence all semester and the one thing that is apparent is that there are two Americas, maybe more. and they are drawn along race lines. Can they be drawn together? Perhaps, but not through empty rhetoric. Should they be drawn together? I don’t know. As a white person it really doesn’t matter to me because i am apart of the dominant or privileged class of people. But if it can make this country a better more successful country then yes we should be one people. But it is never going to happen unless people are honest about race and reject the empty rhetoric of liberal America.

I know that I could probably be more clear about the way i feel about all this, but this article, and post have kind of struck a nerve, i have been listening to smug white people take about racism for the last six months as if each and everyone of them did not hold some manner of prejudice in their hearts. and they are all afraid of the truth cause the media, and schools tell them racism is a dirty word. But racism is just another social fact, folks don’t get along, and race matters. There are groups of people with power and privilege, and there are groups who have not. So god bless those blacks how actually realize and want to do something about it, but they are going to have hell to pay, as all of us are…cause its ugly…but its true.

Black power, white power, till we genuinely sort it out.

How does being white make you privileged? Is every white person born with a trust fund? If they are, I got screwed. Does being white mean you have an advantage in the workplace? I would argue, no, because the very thought of PC in an employer’s mind will make him hire the minority individual over the equally qualified white individual.

I definitely believe that this country is divided along racial lines, and it always will be. The differences between blacks and whites are as stark as the difference between men and women, but that doesn’t mean the lines of division have to be filled with fear, hate and suspicion. I would also argue that forced multiculturalism does more harm than good to race relations. I don’t see Jews getting affirmative action benefits anywhere in the world, and they’ve certainly been treated worse than black people as a whole.

The problem is that from our earliest childhood, we are taught that we should feel guilty for a past we played no part in. Germans today are still apologizing for things their parents did. Whites in America are still called upon to make reparations for slavery. Britons are still criticized today for the bombing of Dresden in WWII. We are taught that, because our ancestors thought a certain way, it must be inherent in the blood of our race. I believe we are products of our environment. So long as our children grow up in this environment, whites will always have a sense of guilt and blacks will always have a sense of victimization and entitlement. The only way to truly move beyond our past and have a harmony among the races, is to begin raising our children with the mentality that each generation begins with a clean slate - and that they will be judged by their own actions, not the actions of their ancestors.

That’s my piece.

“Liberation is first and foremost liberation from the radical slavery of sin. Its end and its goal is the freedom of the children of God, which is the gift of grace. As a logical consequence, it calls for freedom from many different kinds of slavery in the cultural, economic, social, and political spheres, all of which derive ultimately from sin, and so often prevent people from living in a manner befitting their dignity. To discern clearly what is fundamental to this issue and what is a by-product of it, is an indispensable condition for any theological reflection on liberation.

Faced with the urgency of certain problems, some are tempted to emphasize, unilaterally, the liberation from servitude of an earthly and temporal kind. They do so in such a way that they seem to put liberation from sin in second place, and so fail to give it the primary importance it is due. Thus, their very presentation of the problems is confused and ambiguous. Others, in an effort to learn more precisely what are the causes of the slavery which they want to end, make use of different concepts without sufficient critical caution. It is difficult, and perhaps impossible, to purify these borrowed concepts of an ideological inspiration which is compatible with Christian faith and the ethical requirements which flow from it.”

Where is the message of God’s grace in this church? Where is the message of God’s love for us through the sacrifice of His Son for our sins?

If their “vision statement” is taken directly from the content of “Black Power and Black Theology”, and the teaching from the pulpit that we have seen in the video clips is typical Sunday fare, then the whole church membership is being led astray, far from the true message of Jesus Christ.

As angry and frustrated as I am in regards to people such as Wright, and having difficulty to even act as a Christian should in response, I can’t allow myself to participate in their arena of hatred (as tempting as it may be). I will, however, in discussion with those who blindly support Obama, point out this seperatist/racist theology and the unacceptable influence it has to have had on Obama the candidate for the last twenty years.

For Jeremiah Wright: “…let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgement.” James 3:1

Bash, thanks for the research. As mike3481 suggested, I have copied the article and source material for future idiot intervention.

Hegelbot then qualifies this ridiculous point by scolding us rubes because we are the privelaged and can’t possibly understand the circumstances of these poor pigment challenged people. That dear hegelbot is what W hisself called the soft bigotry of low expectations.

Hegelbot is torn on whether multi-culturalism is good or bad for the country. Get a clue, we have decades of proof.
Please read classics professor Victor Davis Hanson tome Mexifornia and you will “know” the answer of your semester long struggle.

Finally, do not presume to tell me what I have in my heart. Your entire treatise is so reminiscent of the Marxist playbook, class warfare, at any cost. Let it be through religion or whatever wedge we can find.

You may be thinking deeply, but I’m not feeling the ripples, maybe the water is to shallow.

“For I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book: If any man shall add to these things, God shall add unto him the plagues written in this book. 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from these things that are written in this book. 20 He that giveth testimony of these things, saith: Surely, I come quickly: Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”

When men “Justify” their sins, they are not doing as God asks. Who are they justifying their sins for but themselves.

Amen Bro’s. Hat tip to you all.

Anyone, even us “priveleged” whiteys if they actually read/study The Word, will not discover any references to “white” or “black” god(s), or goals of the “white” community. As a Christian your goals are The Lords will for us and Him. That’s what should be sought. And if I remember correctly, Jesus’ earthly parents were “Semites” not “Caucasion”. The chosen people were “Semites”, of which the Arabs are part of.

Ask Colin Powell, Dr Rice, Clarence Thomas, et al, about the division of America along racial lines. In the majority of the Black community the aforementioned are looked upon as “Uncle Tom’s” for actually attempting assimilation and casting off the yoke of victimhood. The races hustlers like Jackson, Sharpton, and this “Reverend” Wright promote separatism, hatred, and the defamation of those who don’t “tow the line”, all the while empowering and enriching themselves. The feed and fan the fires of hatred. Let’s ask Rev Wright, if he so loathes “white society” why is he building a new, luxurious, 10,000 s.f. residence in a gated community adjacent a golfcousre in 98% “whitey” neighborhood?… Talk the talk, and..oh yeah…pass ’round the collection plate, but don’t walk the walk.

from your response you seems to have grasped the frustration that i have with critical race theory and the multiculturalism movement in America.

for the rest of those who responded, thanks, i am always surprised by the responses, i certainly didn’t mean to suggest that you are “rubes” or can’t get what blacks are dealing with. Frankly i figured i would get folks calling me racist, lol.

“Marxist playbook, class warfare, at any cost. Let it be through religion or whatever wedge we can find.” I actually want to know what you mean by this? if you read this please respond.
