This has to be the same kind of muck that the good Rev Wright pumped into Obama's head for twety years.

Barack Hussein Obama was a practicing Muslim throughout his entire youth through high school, as an undergraduate at Occidental and Columbia where he studied under his selected Marxist professors, at Harvard law school, after graduating Harvard Law School and passing the bar, and only converted for political reasons to the Marxist based Black Liberation Christian sect under the anti American, openly racist, anti semitic Reverenr Jerimiah Wright in his 30's. He is a clandestine Muslim and a Marxist

Why is Professor James Cone employed at New York’s Union Theological Seminary? He preaches racism and communism. What kind of theologies are they?

This is a good article but i loved the part about
the changing of christianity from salvation to
revolution ..

Until God comes back and smacks this earth upside the head
the only way we can prosper is if we live free
followign Gods principles in the BIBLE Not the koran..

But that view just pisses off all liberals and communists..

ohh well i never liked them anyway,..

Black Liberation Theology is the Marxist based creation of Professor James Cone, who currently serves at New York’s Union Theological Seminary. In 1969, Cone wrote Black Theology and Black Power, which has become required reading at Trinity. In it, Cone observed: “When we look at what whiteness has done to the minds of men in this country, we can see clearly what the New Testament meant when it spoke of the principalities and powers.”

Professor Cone’s Black Liberation Theology is a mixture of Marxism and Afrocentric thinking. According to Cone, “Together, black religion and Marxist philosophy may show us the way to build a completely new society.” Capitalism is economic slavery imposed upon black Americans by whites. Cone serves as a contributing editor to Sojourners Journal, run by Jim Wallis whose leftist leanings are well documented in a report by TVC.

Cone has openly admitted that Pastor Wright “is really the one who took it [his philosophy] from my books and brought it to the church.” This Black Liberation Theology was adopted by Trinity 10 years before Sen. Obama and his family joined it in 1991. Every person who joins Trinity goes through a new member class, where he is taught Black Liberation Theology.

Cone has also written: “To be black is to be committed to destroying everything America loves and adores.

President Obama, his wife Michelle attended Pastor Wright's Trinity United Church for 20 years sitting under the teachings of this blatantly anti-American, anti-capitalist and communist racist pastor. Members are expected to have a “non-negotiable” commitment to the continent of Africa, but not a commitment to the United States. The entire list is Afro-centric and, by implication, anti-white in its expression. Instead of viewing themselves as Christians committed to Jesus Christ and loyal citizens of America, members of Trinity apparently identity as Black only with a loyalty to Africa, not this nation.

The idea of “economic parity” refers to Pastor Wright’s belief that America’s capitalistic system results in what he calls “economic mal-distribution.” This is basically a Marxist viewpoint that seeks to “take from the haves, and give to the have nots.” Wright clearly favors a socialist welfare state. As Dr. James Cone has written in For My People: “…the Christian faith does not possess in its nature the means for analyzing the structure of capitalism. Marxism as a tool of social analysis can disclose the gap between appearance and reality.

These are the beliefs of the President of The United States.

Great synopsis of the current state of Liberation Theology!
But I would point out that “Black” Liberation Theology in the USA is far from death.
In fact, if there is one country on Earth where it is flourishing, it would be right here.
No credible study has been done to determine the actual number of “Black” churches (“Latino” churches here often have the same demented philosophies) that preach Liberation Theology, but I'm fairly certain they are more numerous than we care to believe.
“Liberation Theology” tenets have made their way to the street in the form of general distrust of “white” power structures, conspiratorial views of “white” ambitions and behaviors, and the often expressed view that “those old white men of 200 years ago who held slaves” (the Founding Fathers) have no credibility today and should be ignored as though they had nothing of value to offer in today's “modern” society.
It's truly a shame that that at a time when we have finally turned the corner on race relations in this country, minorities are finally moving up the economic ladder boldly and with increasing momentum, we have churches essentially preaching hatred and separation instead of peace and unity.

They confuse God with the state, and compulsion with charity. The cast off the individual choice and ownership of one's own soul that is at the heart of Christianity, and I'd argue Judaism as well. They mostly fool the ignorant and/or illiterate, who can't read the word for themselves, and I don't envy them when God makes them pay for leading others astray.
