Hey James,

But all of that is irrelevant guilt by association. I'm not voting for Rev Wright. I'm voting for Obama. Follow-up:

It sounds a bit ironic coming from Bush, though. Unless there is some unusual upset, the polls favor Hillary and everyone knows it... Of course, if Pennsylvanians are smart, they'll vote for the person who has spent much of their life giving jobs to the unemployed (via outreach programs, etc) rather than taking them away (via NAFTA). They need to vote for Obama. I’m all for oversight… It sounds a bit ironic coming from Bush, though.

Seems silly to me. The Chinese have their God, The Indians (real Indians from India) have their god. Their god looks like them. I see nothing wrong with Blacks identifying with a God who look like they do. Remember we were created in his image. Fact is Blacks were enslaved by whites, can you honestly seeing a free person of African descent bowing down to a picture of a white Jesus asking for deliverance?

The brand of theology which Wright has been teaching Obama and the others at his church is called “black liberation theology.” Wright admits this and it is stated on the church's website. Black theology is based upon the premise of the white oppressor against the black oppressed. This is why, for example, that Wright refers to Jesus as black, and his killers as white. This is the only way the story of Jesus fits within this brand of “theology.” Rev. Wright cites James Cone, another proponent of black liberation theology, as his theological inspiration. Here are just a couple of James Cone's quotes: (1) “To be Christian is to be one of those whom God has chosen. God has chosen black people." (2) "While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism." (3) "All white men are responsible for white oppression." (4) "Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man "the devil." (5) "If there is any contemporary meaning of the Antichrist, the white church seems to be a manifestation of it." (6) “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.” *** These statements, and this “theology,” are fundamentally racist and divisive. The fact that Obama has chosen to belong to this racist church for 20 years speaks volumes about his character and judgment, and flies in the face of his pronouncements about his ability and intent to “unite” this country.
