Black Liberation Theology

From Obama's Church Website:

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.

James Cone defines the theology as thus:

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.

When Wright was interviewed on Hannity and Combs in 2007 he repeatedly asked Sean Hannity, "How many of Cone's books have you read? How many of Cone's book have you read?"

Cones is a racist and a Marxist and Wright has wholeheartedly adopted his theology and has for the entire 20 years that Obama was in his church.
