“You can’t make me do nothing but die! That is the key to an understanding of Black Power. Any advice from whites to blacks on how to deal with white oppression is automatically under suspicion as a clever device to further enslavement.”
The above words come from Dr. James H. Cone’s book Black Theology and Black Power. When Reverend Jeremiah Wright of Trinity United Church of Christ appeared on FOX News’ Hannity and Colmes he asked Sean Hannity, “How many books by Cone have you read?” He implied that Hannity had no right to question him on a subject which Hannity was not informed. Having read the first of Dr. Cone’s books allows this author to question black liberation theology in light of Black Power. Although it will be denied by black liberation theologians, Dr. Cone’s teaching points to separatism regardless the statements of Jeremiah Wright. Black liberation theology is a racist theology.
Dr. Cone’s biography is impressive as are his oratory skills. One can visit Union Theological Seminary’s website and read about the distinguished professor and even watch some of his lectures. Dr. Cone’s work in Black Theology and Black Power is well written and extensively researched and footnoted. Dr. Cone should by no means be discounted as just an angry black man or biblical heretic, although he admits to the former and is guilty in part of the latter. It is his systematic theology that is flawed.

“white oppression”
“enslavement.”
Catch phrases of the race-hucksters. Tell people that Whites are the cause of their problems, not their self-inflicted pathologies.
we as a community need to say only one thing to these yahoos: “Get over your big selves!”
The Dixie Mafia is STILL in control of the democrat party..
As they were when standing in doorways of schools in the south..
And black democrats ARE STILL CLUELESS...as they get themselves Honkyfied..
so how come the N word is a hate word for white people to use but the blacks can call whites “crackers” or anything else they want to and it isn’t racist?
And if it’s one of their own who’s interacting with white people, then the black man or woman is acting too “white.”
If they want racism to go away, they why are they perpetuating a double standard that keeps racist thoughts coming out of their mouths?
