He cites James Cone, a distinguished professor at New York's Union Theological Seminary, whom he credits for having "systematized" this strain of Christianity. <BR/><BR/>Here is a quote from Cone, explaining black liberation theology:<BR/><BR/>"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 and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."<BR/><BR/>All of this is well documented on the internet and many find it very disturbing considering Rev. Wright's close relationship with Barack Obama and equally disturbing that Barack will not reject Wright. <BR/><BR/>Both Jeremiah Wright and James Cone are listed as black liberation theologians in Wikipedia. <BR/><BR/>All of this is well documented on the internet and many find it very disturbing considering Rev.
