Liberation Theology

The Rev. Wright CD's, that showed him ranting against America and most things white, were a revelation to me. That this was being said in a Christian Church, with a congregation agreeing, was eye-brow raising. Watching Fox News later, there were two black ministers that declared they were not surprised at any of this and claimed that this could be heard in most black churches in Chicago. They claimed the basis for this was Liberation Theology. Until this was stated I had never heard of Liberation Theology, knew nothing about it. Never saw it mentioned on TV, did not read about it in the papers, did not hear about it on the radio and did not see it in magazines. How could I have missed this in all my years of trying to stay aware of current events? I am aware of Farrakhan but he is Muslim, this was Christian. I opened the web site for that Church and was amazed at how it's people want to be aligned with Africa rather than America. The main thrust was support for all things black and be very suspicious of anything white. No wonder Mischelle Obama has never been proud of her country when she subscribes to the tenets of that Church. Our two races will never get together when one race continues to poison the atmosphere like this. This is as serious as the Palestinians raising their children to hate all Jews. One of the two ministers mentioned above stated that the white race has never done anything for the black race. To which Sean Hannity replied: "Have you ever heard of the Civil War sir?" That comment was ignored and then grievances were recited to support hatred of the whites. In all the Christian churches I have visited I have never heard any comments against blacks. They only preach about Christ's love for all mankind and that we should emulate his actions. Can those black churches truly be called Christian? What is Liberation Theology anyway?

  • Hmmm. A group that calls itself Christian and preaches hate. Ever heard of the KKK? They are now getting themselves recognized as churches: http://www.cnkkkk.com/

  • We touched on Liberation Theology back in my Theological Foundations course two years ago. I can't remember a lot about it, only that it was somewhat controversial. I think this is the same group that believes that Jesus was part (or totally) black. Hard to believe given where he lived, but it was slightly possible according to my instructor. Apparently there are people that can trace Mary's family to somewhere in Africa???

  • Tim, I just checked out that web site and it is much worse than I thought it might be. Black Liberation Theology has to do basicly with hate of the white race and empowerment of the black race. Very scary stuff. Only love of black and black interests is allowed. No wonder Wright has sermons like that. And Obama says he did not know.
