Obama Needs to Go Deeper
In order for Barack Obama or anyone else to become a member of Trinity they had to make a personal commitment to embrace an exclusive Black Value System and pledge allegiance to all black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System. In other words embrace Black Liberation Theology. Until Barrack Obama renounces and repudiates not just the remarks of Rev. Wright but the separatist ideology inherent in black liberation theology his rhetoric of hope and a country united will be harder and harder to hear and see. These events are indeed momentous. There is a whole lot of shakin' going on in the White and Black church. The missing piece in liberation theology and fundamentalism has always been reconciliation and forgiveness. Rev. Wright clearly espouses the views of his mentor James Cone the author of Black Power and Black Theology which has always given short shrift to Reconciliation Theology which is what the gospel has always been about. Barack Obama has been placed in the unique position of helping to heal the wounds of America if he can recognize that neither Fundamentalism nor Liberation Theology unites people it only divides. He has another step to take.
