“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.”
“The time has come for white America to be silent and listen to black people.”
“All white men are responsible for white oppression. ”
“Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man ‘the devil.’”
“Any advice from whites to blacks on how to deal with white oppression is automatically under suspicion as a clever device to further enslavement.”
“Black suffering is getting worse, not better. . . . White supremacy is so clever and evasive that we can hardly name it.”
“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. ”
” Jesus Christ is black therefore not because of some cultural or psychological need of black people, but because and only because Christ really enters into our world where the poor were despised and the black are, disclosing that he is with them enduring humiliation and pain and transforming oppressed slaves into liberating servants.”
Whoa...
Frightening stuff. Sort of a Mirror Universe version of Mein Kampf.
Oh where do I begin. Cones appears to be nothing short of a Marxist.
First, I always go balistic when ANYONE tries to describe Jesus with certain physical characteristics, including blond hair and blue eyes. What do we know?...HE was descended from the tribe of Judah. Judah was ONE of the twelve tribes of ISRAEL! HE was a JEW! But then again, BTs hate Jews.
In order for any Gentile (NonJews, Black or otherwise) to profess Christianity, it truly takes submission and humility to do so. It is called DENYING oneself. Blacks who become or are true Christians do not make race an issue to themseleves....Jesus. But that goes with anyone who makes HIM front and center of their lives.
Lastly, in retrospect it is interesting that 1964 is around the time that both the Bible and prayer was removed from schools and Civil Rights leg was passed.
