Some Thoughts On America's Racial/Political Divide

My blogging friend Steve's latest post turned a comment I wrote over at his blog, Cry and Howl,  into a new post here at Talk Wisdom! It is a very touchy subject (what discussion about race isn't these days?) so reader discretion is advised. In other words, you might possibly find a reason to be offended...

Here's what I wrote in response to Steve's post:

Wow Steve! You are certainly bold to put the call out to vote for Romney "because he is white" out there! But the fact that Obama and Holder are racist members of the black community is spot on!

As a white Christian conservative woman, I can't know all of the reasons why the black community does what it does and/or why they would be compelled to vote for Obama again despite being the worse president in the history of this nation.  There are many social issues that come into play that I can only know about from the news and what I observe from the outside.  What I am about to write might cause me to be labeled a "racist" or some other kind of derogatory name.  But my purpose is to share just some of what I have seen and heard and apply it to the current racial and political divide we are (unfortunately)  experiencing with Obama in office.

I once asked a Christian conservative black woman (who refused to vote for Obama in 2008 because of his radical pro-death to babies in the womb stance) just why so many Christian blacks voted for Obama despite his anti-Bible ideology and secretive (back then) support for Arab states and Muslims over the Jewish State of Israel - the apple of God's eye? She told me that it was a matter of pride. They felt so very proud to pull the voting lever for a black man. ( I can understand this because as a woman, I felt great joy pulling the voting booth lever for Sarah Palin as V.P. in 2008!)

Knowing the history of all the suffering that many generations of blacks endured before the civil rights era compelled them to ignore Obama's radicalism (and the media of mass deception played right along) and think that "he can't be that bad" when voices of reason like Hannity, Savage, Beck and many others were sounding the alarm bells. Many whites were duped, too - including some of my relatives!!! ALL RACES were complicit in placing the most reprehensible person into office that I have ever seen in my lifetime!

This terribly corrupt and destructive experience known as the Obama administration demonstrates to me just how the Antichrist will one day come to power. But that's an entirely different topic!

My blogging friend hinted at the fact that many blacks still believe that they deserve reparations (that is - their descendants believe this) precisely because of mistreatment during the early years in the history of this nation.

It is certainly sad to realize that the Democratic Party takes the black vote for granted while they continue to make them dependent on "nanny state" policies that keep them in poverty.

It is only the conservative blacks that "get it." Herman Cain, Allen West, WND writer Mychal (sp.?) Massie - just to name a few - don't just identify themselves as "black men." They see themselves as AMERICANS FIRST. This may be a weak analogy, but recall the movie "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" with Sidney Poitier? Remember the line where he tells his mail-carrier dad that "he sees himself as a black man, but Sidney (can't recall character name) SEES HIMSELF AS A MAN?"

Now, a liberal black man might come along on this blog and tell me that's pure bunk. So be it. But from what I gathered from my email conversation with my Christian blogging friend (who was scorned mercilessly by all her relatives for voting for the "white man" instead of Obama), part of the reason was not only historical (voting for the first black president) but a matter of pride in their community and heritage; plus the fact that it became a way of showing how "they shall overcome." Many Christian blacks adhere to the "black liberation theology" which takes them down the wrong path (IMHO) and away from the true gospel of Jesus Christ through God's Word - the Bible.

What is REALLY sad to realize is that Obama did not come through for his black constituency. Oh...if you were a RICH black man who owned a company like Solyndra - then you would get rewarded. But how many blacks were given positions in the Obama administration? How many have genuinely benefited from his 3 1/2 years in office?

If Obama was more like Martin Luther King Jr., I'd be celebrating the "first black president" too! But knowing that Obama shares the radical ideology (and has demonstrated this over and over again during the past 3 1/2 years!) of Muslim activists like the Black Panthers, domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, socialist Malcolm X and communist Frank Marshall Davis is severely disturbing.

Steve, I wonder if some blacks have now come to their senses and would vote for "anyone but Obama" since they have seen with their own eyes the destruction he has wreaked upon our nation? We must remember that Obama is "half white" too - that is, if his nativity story is factual. Therefore, his radical ways don't only have to do with his race, but mostly his ideological upbringing. He was surrounded by radicals his entire life! I don't need to list them all. But because he is "half black," (recall before the 2008 election he shared derogatory comments about his "typical" white grandmother) most in the black community, of course, embraced him as one of their own.

The fact that many people in this nation are not educated enough to know what is really going on with this administration is troubling and very unfortunate. We have suffered over the past 3 1/2 years because of this:

One
Big
A**
Mistake
America.

 I hope that most American voters see the dire need to elect a true American Patriot rather than allowing Obama to continue to send our country swirling down the cesspool of despair, terrible foreign policy, economic ruin and failure; while he tramples upon our religious freedoms and liberty guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, The Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence!!

Let's just continue to educate the masses on our blogs and pray for mercy from God that this monster puppet and his evil puppeteers (like George Soros)  will be booted out in November!

Your obvious happiness regarding Representative Allen West being a great choice for president proves that you certainly aren't racist, Steve! I think that the black liberation theology issue (among several liberal social issues) divides the black community. It has a lot to do with the difference between the blacks who would follow Mr. Cone of Black Liberation Theology vs. true Bible-believing Christians and what separates the conservative blacks from those who see themselves in the Obama camp.

The Error of Collective Salvation and Black Liberation Theology (Update #3)

Did any readers see today's broadcast of The Glenn Beck Program on the Fox News Channel? It was a great expos'e of the errors of Black Liberation Theology (BLT) and liberation philosophy (lp). Glenn demonstrated how these two have hooked up with Marxism to create the skewed, unbiblical view of the definition of "social justice" that is being touted by the likes of liberal, progressive pastors such as Jeremiah Wright and Jim Wallis.

I want to encourage readers to DVR The Glenn Beck Program re-broadcast on the Fox News Channel tonight! In the past I have seen it shown at 11:00 p.m. (PT) and/or 2:00 a.m. (PT) - so check the listings.

The YouTube version of the show usually comes out several hours after the first broadcast, so I will be looking for it to include here in this post. Then readers can view it online.

I think that Beck did a great job describing both BLT and lp and explaining why it is in error of the true Gospel of Christ. He also included the Marxist elements (such as the ideas of "collective salvation" and "social justice") which Obama and his cohorts often refer to in lectures and speeches. We get a good idea as to why Obama's kind of beliefs mirror his maniac former pastor, Jeremiah Wright's Black Liberation Theology beliefs.

Beck had the author of Liberating Black Theology, Anthony B. Bradley as a spokesperson on his show to back up what Beck was sharing with the audience.

Even though Beck is a Mormon (he even acknowledged this during the broadcast) - which is viewed by most born again Christians as a religious offshoot in error of genuine Biblical Christianity - the fact that he DOES have a T.V. show and is able to use it to refute the "social justice" and "collective salvation" perversions of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is a HUGE advantage in and of itself. Fortunately, he resisted going into his particular religion's traditions and beliefs in the book of Mormon. Today he did a great service to viewers by showing the perversion of Black Liberation Theology and black liberation philosophy.

This blog post will be added to over the next several hours, so please check back as more information will be forthcoming.

Update #1 @ 4:23 p.m. PT -

Although Glenn didn't have a lot of time to go into detail about the connections between the Black Panther Party rants (and the subsequent dismissing of the charges of voter intimidation done by members in the 2008 election by the Obama administration DOJ Attorney General - Eric Holder) he did show video evidence of it on his show the previous day. Today's show dealt less with the horrid rants of members and leaders (former and current) of the Black Panther Party, and more with how it relates to the spiritual confusion being touted by Black Liberation Theology, liberation philosophy, the error of collective salvation, and the skewing of the biblical meaning of social justice. You can see how these elements of error are being used by certain organizations (like the NAACP) to cause politically-driven hatred, racial tensions and division by the perpetrators of such beliefs via these posts:

All of the ills and divisions occurring in the hearts, minds, souls and spirits of mankind boils down these facts:

1. We are all sinners in need of the Savior - Jesus Christ.
2. We must be born again. (Jesus words in John 3:3)
3. Without Jesus Christ indwelling our hearts and minds in the form of the Holy Spirit, the minds of men are wrought in, and/or vulnerable to spiritual deception.
4. The rejection of God's Written Word, the Bible, and the ignorance and/or rejection of God's Living Word - Jesus Christ leads unrepentant minds into error, heresy and apostasy.

Update #2 @ 6:15 p.m. PT -

Also see Glenn Beck's Page: Liberation Theology and Social Justice

Excerpt:

Jesus never said, "Take from the rich and let the government redistribute it." Take the parable of the Good Samaritan. The Samaritan chose to take it upon himself to help; he took on the bills himself. The government never told him to do it. Anything else is a perversion of Christianity and the perversion of the principles of God.

You don't need to be a Christian to believe this. You need to understand this because a perversion of God is extraordinarily dangerous.

Tonight, I have to take it a step further.

We are living in dangerous times and unless you understand what people are saying and why they are saying it and how they arrived there, then too many Americans are going to be fooled.

We start with James Cone. He's one of the founding fathers of liberation theology. Liberation theology is a brand of Christianity based on the liberation of the oppressed from unjust economic, political or social conditions. It centers around the idea that people are in one of two categories: the oppressor and the oppressed. Poverty, according to this theology, is caused because the poor are "victims of others."

James Cone is credited with starting the same liberation theology behind Rev. Wright's church:
