My interpretation has nothing to do with it. Check the cited and footnoted sources in the multiple book links I've provided. Not my interpretation. It's all published FACT. Documented forever in the public record.

No, they haven't. I've provided links to multiple books citing and footnoting the sources of Cone's racist statements. NONE of them have been disproved.

Unfortunately for you and other Obama sycophants, apologists, and dupes, Trinity UCC's Rev. Wright himself points directly to racist Cone and his Black Liberation Theology, in a published Trinity UCC document.

Yes. He did. He evidently expected that his audience would understand simple, basic English grammar.

Points directly?

Or simply states that systematized Black Liberation Theology began in 1969, when the first book on the topic was published.

Exactly. Cone is a well-known White-hating racist. Rev. Wright credits Cone as founding the Black Liberation Theology on which Wright readily admits Trinity UCC's mission is based.

Again for the record here are the actual quotes.

A Black theology of liberation - James H. Cone - Google Books

"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,if God is not against white racists, then God is a murderer, and we had better kill God."

A Black Theology of Liberation - James H. Cone - Google Books

"Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white oppressor."

Well, I was trying to be nice. If you don't like the word "interpretation", let's go with "misreading."

You've misread a statement by Reverend Wright, because you evidently are unable to parse a sentence, establishing a CORE sentence, and separating it from modifying phrases.

Yes. Read it again:

It's a theology founded in White-hating racism. Well-known fact.
