"The echoes of Cone's theology bleed through the now infamous, anti-Hillary excerpt by Rev. Wright. Clinton is among the oppressing class ("rich white people") and is incapable of understanding oppression ("ain't never been called a n-gg-r") but Jesus knows what it was like because he was "a poor black man" oppressed by "rich white people." While Black Liberation Theology is not main stream in most black churches, many pastors in Wright's generation are burdened by Cone's categories which laid the foundation for many to embrace Marxism and a distorted self-image of the perpetual "victim."
"Victimology condones weakness in failure. Victimology tacitly stamps approval on failure, lack of effort, and criminality. Behaviors and patterns that are self-destructive are often approved of as cultural or presented as unpreventable consequences from previous systemic patterns. Black Liberation theologians are clear on this point: "People are poor because they are victims of others," says Dr. Dwight Hopkins, a Black Liberation theologian teaching at the University of Chicago Divinity School."
"The code language "economic parity" and references to "mal-distribution" is nothing more than channeling the twisted economic views of Karl Marx. Black Liberation theologians have explicitly stated a preference for Marxism as an ethical framework for the black church because Marxist thought is predicated on a system of oppressor class (whites) versus victim class (blacks)."
Salvation is a collective freedom from the oppression and pertains to blacks in this life. Proponents of black theology are concerned specifically with the political and theological aspects of salvation more than the spiritual. In other words, salvation is physical liberation from white oppression, or "The white enemy" (Cone) rather than freedom from the sinful nature and acts of each individual person. Presenting heaven as a reward for following Christ is seen as an attempt to dissuade blacks from the goal of real liberation of their whole persons.
"A white man who is in power cannot be a Christian, unless he gives up that power and give it to the black man" - James Cone on Black Theology.
The point is that Black Liberation Theology is not Christianity.
It is a man made distortion of Christianity and teaches a false path to salvation.
The only way you can be saved according to this theology, if you are the oppressor, is to give back what you took through reparations. Step down from that job you "took" from someone else. Give back that money you "took" from someone else.
Another perversion is the concept of collective salvation. You’ve heard Barack Obama say that his "individual salvation depends on collective salvation." What does that mean?
According to liberation theology, it means that salvation and redemption bought by Jesus comes in the form of political and social "liberation" for minorities from white oppression. Salvation is realized with minorities achieving economic and political parity, via redistribution of wealth with whites. Minorities are "saved" in the sense that white people constantly confess and repent of being racists and meet the economic demands of minorities, via redistribution as a consequence of some form of reparations.
Does that sound like Christianity to you?
And just because this came from Beck's (who Liberals hate) website doesn't mean that this isn't what Black Liberation Theology is all about. So no need to shoot the messenger and dismiss the facts.
Jesus born a Jew, not a black man. Across the top of His cross he was hung from---King of the Jew was written; of course they meant it as mockery. Now the author of Song of Solomon, he was a black man.
1:5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon The King James Version Free Online BiblePeople who don't know these things, they always get taken for a ride. Sad, really sad.
I don't know about this Black Theology stuff, but if a person gets that part wrong about Jesus and who He was born to, then rest assured that the rest of what their selling, is just as full of hot air as the first part of it.

Eh...he did live in the Middle East though, so he might very well have been dark-skinned. Why is Jesus usually shown as having light skin? That makes no sense whatsoever. Now, brownish, or dark tanned skin would make sense...probably not deep black...

Sort of like 200 years of this representation of the Savior:

All I know is the Jews of the day of the Bible denied Christ as being one of their own. However, they still remain to this day, His chosen people.
From what I understand, the second coming of Christ will be for the Jew, His first coming. They don't believe their savor has been born yet.
Now as far as the color of His skin. I guess we could look at pictures of Jewish people and figure it out. I know He wasn't born a Black man as in African Black.
Sort of like 200 years of this representation of the Savior:
That is a portray of how we perceive Him to be. Mary and Joesph were his parents, look at His geology pool and then tell me. He was born in Bethlehem a Jew.
Hey, I thought atheist were suppose to know all this stuff, better than a Christian.
