on the campaign trail ....

We have all heard ad nauseum about the religious beliefs of Mitt Romney, "He's a MORMON!" and the fact that Huckabee is a minister. On the Democrat side we know that Hillary goes to church whenever the cameras are rolling on Sunday morning and Obama......well what about Obama? You know the guy that refuses to put his hand on his heart for the American flag. What about his "beliefs"?

Steve Sailor has been asking the same question. You might find the answer, shall we say, illuminating. Here's a clip...

Obama has made a big deal over the years out of his being a churchgoer rather than the ultra-educated agnostic he looks like -- it's crucial to his viability as a candidate for President. But that naturally raises questions about what kind of church he picked out for himself 21 years ago.
After all, an enormous amount of talk has been devoted to, say, Mitt Romney and his church, even though Romney was born into being a Mormon. In contrast, Obama knew dozens of Chicago pastors through his ethnic organizing job, but, when he figured out that he had to belong to a church to have an effective political future on the South Side, he shopped around and chose Rev. Wright's church.

It's not exactly a secret that Obama's Rev. Wright is a radical leftist black racialist. Wright calls his stance "black liberation theology" and relates it to Nicaraguan Marxist liberation theology.

Obama belongs to the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Interesting website, to say the least. So what is this Black Liberation Theology? Perusing various articles we learn that in Morth America it is prmarily based upon the writings of James Cone, a Protestant minister who grew up in Arkansas. In his book Black Theology and Black Power Cone writes,

“A moral or theological appeal based on a white definition of morality or theology will serve as a detriment to our attainment of black freedom. The only option we blacks have is to fight in every way possible, so that we can create a definition of freedom based on our own history and culture. We must not expect white people to give us freedom. Freedom is not a gift, but a responsibility, and thus must be taken against the will of those who hold us in bondage.”

Quite a proposition in this day and age.

The impact of this little bit of research left me curious about this heretofore unknown to me belief system. A system that has yet to be reported on by the Mainstream Media. Thus, on to the internet! I was surprised to find a wealth of writings by those smarter than your average Rumbear. H. Wayne House has a long article on the subject entitled An Investigation of Black Liberation Theology. He writes,

Black liberation theology shares much in common with liberation theology in general but also has its own uniqueness. As a theology of liberation, it is concerned with the political and economic aspects of salvation rather than salvation in spiritual terms. Moreover, God is viewed as being primarily for the poor over against the rich in society. However, black theologians seek to interpret liberation from a black American or black African perspective (though even blacks in the United States and Africa sense differences in their emphases)12 Black theology, unlike Latin American liberation thought, is concerned with racism and a historical identity.

So we have a church tailoring it's views to a particular race. Views that seek to distinguish based upon that race. Most interesting. Yet, in a day when we have the Congressional Black Caucus, Black Entertainment Network, United Negro College Fund etc, etc, should we be surprised to learn of a religion tailored thereto? Should racism be a concern? Not really, unless of course you could insert the word "white" in any of the above and have that be a cause for concern. Since that would not be a problem [;-)] then we have nothing to worry about with Obama...right?

Right...........?

UPDATE: The MSM chimes in.
