Not to the extent that Cone said that white people must give up their power in order for justice to be done.

Cone also referred to Justice Thomas as not being black at all.

You must be a Black Liberation Theologist.
Obviously you didn't listen to it either and have nothing to debate with.

Well, if I listened to it then I would have turned into a Black Liberation Theologist.

I'm not.

You and Obama listened to it though...

There are hundreds of reasons not to re-elect Obama. You happened to pick one of the dumbest and useless ones. Congrats.
Listen to the video. It is not dumb. It is very revealing what Obama believes. He fed on this for 20 years of his life. A good look at what Obama believes . He attended the church for almost half of his life.

It's possible that Obama does not even really care, and that he only joined that particular church in order to get him some street cred with the local people. The man grew up in Hawaii, went to a posh private school and then graduated from Ivy League schools, is it a stretch that he thought he needed this church to look more like he was down for the struggle?

A Conversation with James Cone - YouTube
I think that Obama is a true politician. There's a political game in play there with that association. I don't think that Obama agreed with everything Rev. Wright preached about in his church. But I do believe that Obama understood the influence that Rev. Wright had, and he used that influence and rode it all the way to the Senate.

It's always best to go to the source. Obama's own words on Rev. Wright:

Obama went there for 20 years.. and was married and had his kids baptized there. Obama has not been to any other church since leaving this church.
