Question, DC... why are you so hell-bent on defending a racist? Hmmm...???
No you cited inaccurate quotes from his Book.

Apparently NOT. According to Rev. Wright's racist understanding...

Cone, Wright, and Obama are racists. Why are you afraid to admit that?

Even Obama's latest initiative is racist:
Obama Starts Initiative for Young Black Men

Which is exactly why you've not been able to disprove any of Cone's White-hating racist statements, and can't refute the fact that Rev. Wright points directly to racist Cone as the inspiration for Trinity UCC's mission.

All the relevant quotes, citations, and links have already been provided. All you can do is try to deflect through ridiculously absurd misinterpretations. I've called you out on ALL of them. All you can do to rebut is opine. You've stated NO facts supporting your position.

THIS is a direct quote from YOUR link to Trinity's website, from Reverend Wright.

Did you not read the entire link? Did you just read the one section, and think, hey, that's it! Gotcha! Try READING the entire thing. Try looking for context some time.

This quote is relevant. And it comes directly from YOUR link.

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."

Indeed:

https://web.archive.org/web/20080325...ing_points.htm

Cone's racist statements:

"To be black is to be committed to destroying everything this country loves and adores."
"Black theology will accept only a love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy."

Religious Revolutionaries: The Rebels who Reshaped American Religion - Robert C. Fuller - Google Books

"If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him."
African American Religious Thought: An Anthology - Google Books

Another:
The Gospel According to the Marginalized - Google Books

NONE of those have been disproved.

Again, DC, why ruin your reputation to defend a racist?

Again, I don't care about Cone. Since Cone is not a founder of Black Liberation Theology. So says Reverend Wright.

I use the word “systematized” because Black liberation theology was in existence long before Dr. Cone’s book. It originates in the days of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.

It's uncomfortable for you to acknowledge that quote is from Reverend Wright, and from your own link, too. We understand.

It doesn't matter what you imagine. What matters is where Rev. Wright himself places the origination of Trinity UCC's vision statement. Wright places that squarely on racist Cone's founding of Black Liberation Theology:
Quote:
"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."
https://web.archive.org/web/20080325...ing_points.htm

Cone is a racist. Wright and Obama jumped on the racist bandwagon.

Why do you insist on defending a racist?
