Black Liberation Theology

Obama decided to take a second look at Wright's church. Older pastors warned him that Trinity was for "Buppies"--black urban professionals--and didn't have enough street cred. But Wright was a former Muslim and black nationalist who had studied at Howard and Chicago, and Trinity's guiding principles--what the church calls the "Black Value System"--included a "Disavowal of the Pursuit of Middleclassness.'"

Here in Central Florida, depending on the god of AM radio, we can, at night, pull in Detroit, Fort Wayne, Chicago, Raleigh, Boston, Philadelphia, and/or New York. Last night, it was Raleigh's turn and I caught about a half hour of a discussion about Black Liberation Theology. The host and callers were vehement in their support of it.

I'm really surprised by how apparently widespread this movement is, especially since until Obama's connection to the Rev. Wright was revealed in the media, I'd never heard of the concept except in connection with Louis Farrakhan. It's been under the radar of even talk radio.

It's up to McCain to make sure this issue isn't dismissed as merely a minor gaffe for Obama to sweet talk away. It's a serious problem for all of us if a large percentage of well educated and upwardly mobile Blacks, who should be role models for younger people, embrace this divisive and corrosive philosophy.
