#PRESIDENT BIDEN SIGNS LUDICROUS BILL MAKING JUNE 19TH A FEDERAL HOLIDAY


THIS IS WHAT AMERICA IS
REALLY EMBRACING WHEN IT
COMES TO JUNE 19TH. SEE VIDEO 
BELOW

 This country has made a terrible mistake in making this a national holiday. We are perhaps the most stupid country in the world who rewards domestic urban terrorist and black racist mongers, who have destroyed innocent lives and businesses totaling in the billions of dollars with a national holiday. Yet these corrupt politicians set up a gofundme page to bail out these criminals:


Kamala Harris helped violent rioters in Minnesota get out of jail to do more damage. Don't believe her when she says she "condemns the violence"—look at her record, not her words.

If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/kdh-soc

— Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), in an Aug. 30 tweet over a June 1 tweet by Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) seeking donations for the Minnesota Freedom Fund

“Thirteen members of Biden’s campaign staff donated to bail out — rioters — they’re getting them out of jail. Looters — they got them out of jail. And his running mate, Kamala, urged their supporters to do the same thing.”

   President Vladimir Putin of Russia must be laughing his face off by now. Especially when just a few days ago at the G7 Summit in Geneva, Switzerland he made reference to the civil revolts which has taken place here in America. He bluntly stated he would never allow a movement like Black Lives Matter to get away with what they did in America if that were to ever happen in Russia. I don't know about you, but I believe we are losing/have lost this country. On the surface these African Americans make this all appear like they are simply honoring their ancestors who were the victims of slavery. They canonize hardcore criminals like George Floyd as innocent victims so they can continue their ruthless war against our men and women in blue.  But that is all just a political ploy. Their ultimate goal is to remake America by overthrowing the current political capitalist system, and replacing it with MARXISM. They are doing this by restructuring the political landscape by voting into office corrupt politicians who are willing to cater to their racist ideology of Black Supremacy. Their Black Supremacy Doctrine bears a striking parallel with Hitler's Aryan Nation White Supremacy doctrine. Also by intermarrying with white European Americans so as to produce a half breed mulatto race. They are the most DYSFUNCTIONAL RACE IN AMERICA and statistics do not lie. I have met Africans who have told me they don't like or get along with the blacks here in America because they consider them animals. I am convinced that their ultimate go is to turn this nation into the United States of African Americans. Wake up white America before it's too late. They are trying to replace you! You may be wondering why I call this a ludicrous bill. Well here are the facts with videos attached at the end of this narrative. Okay let's get started.

THEY WANT TO REPLACE OUR AMERICAN FLAG WITH THIS DESPICABLE RACIST FLAG

THEY ARE PLANTING THE SEEDS THAT WILL  ONE DAY LEAD TO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION   
"THE PERVERSITY OF THE WICKED WILL DESTROY THEM"

10. Play the Victim
One of the biggest reasons racism exists is that black people love playing the victim. It has been one of the favorite Negro pastimes ever since Africans locked themselves in chains, stowed away on American cruise ships and crossed the Atlantic Ocean. Apparently, we are so in love with this dangerous activity, we are willing to subject our bodies to bullets and police batons just to participate in our own victimhood. We have passed it down through generations by naming our children whatever the hell we want, in hopes that employers will continue the practice of throwing their résumés in the trash. None of this is white people’s fault. It is black people’s fault because, by pointing out systemic inequalities like wage discrimination, school funding and disparities in the criminal-justice system, we waste valuable time not working twice as hard as our white counterparts to get half as much.

9. Engage in Identity Politics
When black people vote for black candidates, they are playing right into the hands of identity politics. Despite the fact that Donald Trump’s white voters were motivated by race, female voters are encouraged to vote for female candidates, Catholics voted for John F. Kennedy, Mormons voted for Mitt Romney, and politicians openly invoke their Christian identity to appeal to evangelical voters, the moniker of “identity politics” applies only to black voters. A majority of white people have never voted for a black presidential candidate. Yet it is black people who keep racism alive because white is not considered a political identity. It is a birthright.

8. Make Everything About Race
Even when black people have no intention of playing the victim, they indirectly keep racism alive simply by making everything about race. For instance, when a group of Upper West Side parents in New York City objected to plans to integrate one of the most segregated school districts in America, The Root fellow Anne Branigin decided to make the parents’ anger all about race. Anyone laboring under the delusion that New York City is a progressive bastion need look no further. In this instance, Branigin secretly stood at the entrance to the meeting and kept black parents from attending. Then she egregiously used actual quotes from actual parents who complained about black and Hispanic children attending the schools. In this case, it wasn’t the outraged parents, the school district or the history of segregation. It was Branigin’s fault for twisting an incident that was not at all about race into something that was all about race.

7. Discuss History
Black people love bringing up old stuff like slavery, history and truth. They will often bring up slavery at inopportune times, like history classes. The only logical reason blacks insist on making every discussion on the Civil War about slavery and white supremacy is that every available historical document about the Civil War actually cites slavery and white supremacy as the reasons for the conflict, and mentions nothing about Southern pride and cultural heritage. Every Confederate state that wrote a declaration of secession mentioned slavery. When Confederate President Jefferson Davis said, “White men have an equality resulting from a presence of a lower caste, which cannot exist where white men fill the position here occupied by the servile race,” he was apparently trying to keep racism alive. He did a damn good job, too.

6. Be a Reverse Racist
One of the newest techniques in the field of racism technology is oppressing white people. Despite the fact that white people control every branch of the federal government, the financial industry, the entertainment industry, corporate America and the production of white tears, most white people feel that they are discriminated against. Recently, white people have been forced to endure the harmful effects of only working jobs for which they are qualified and having their grades and test scores determine where they attend college. Meanwhile, blacks benefit from affirmative action mandates that allow them to apply for jobs for which they are qualified and to be accepted into colleges based on their grades and test scores. How racist.

5. Use Facts
A 2015 study shows that the only significant determining factor in predicting whether someone shot and killed by police was unarmed is whether or not the victim was black. Schools with higher numbers of black students receive less funding. Black men receive longer prison sentences than white men who commit the same crimes. These are facts. But people who mention these peer-reviewed, scientific studies are playing the race card because, obviously, numbers are biased against Caucasians. As a matter of fact, pointing out the measurable, quantifiable existence of racism is, in and of itself, an extreme act of bigotry against white people. Facts are racist.

4. Mention the Words “White Privilege”
A recent study showed that black kids born to rich parents are as likely to be incarcerated as white kids born to parents making $36,000 per year. The study showed that, regardless of the neighborhood, education or income of black parents, their children will likely earn less than white kids whose parents are poorer and less educated and live in better neighborhoods. Black kids receive harsher discipline in schools. Whites are more likely to sell drugs, but blacks are more likely to be arrested for it. Black boys are perceived as older and less innocent than white kids the same age. Meanwhile, white children are exempt from being disadvantaged and criminalized at birth. But referring to that reality as “white privilege” means that you are attacking white people and being racist. Fortunately, whites have solved this problem. No, they haven’t worked to eliminate prejudice (don’t be silly). Instead, they just introduced an alternative, semantics-based solution. There is no such thing as white privilege. Black people are just underprivileged. See. They fixed it for you.

3. Don’t Blame Black People
It is possible to breathe life into racism without even talking to white people. For instance, according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report, combined with U.S. population estimates, in any given year, 95 percent of black people don’t commit a crime. In black neighborhoods, the number of anti-violence marches, education initiatives and crime-prevention groups far outweigh the number of Black Lives Matter marches. Yet black people don’t want to talk about black-on-black crime. Why? Maybe it’s because white people never see these efforts, since media outlets don’t deem them newsworthy. Maybe it’s because, contrary to stereotypes, there is such a small percentage of black criminals. And maybe white people don’t know about these examples because there is no reason to talk to white people about black issues. Nah, it’s gotta be because we’d rather keep racism alive by blaming whites.

2. Say “White People”

Because white people are accustomed to being seen as individuals, they hate being referred to as white people. It chaps their hides. Even laughing at the caucalicious phrase “chaps their hide” is racist, as is any variation of the term “white people,” including, but not limited to, “colonizer,” “mayonaisse American,” “undermelanated,” “a citizen of Rhythmless Nation” or “a Michael Rapaportian.”

1. Be Black
Most people don’t know that white people are scientifically incapable of tasting seasonings (which saves them a lot of money but costs them a lot in ridicule).  Being black means we get to do things that white people can’t do, which is patently unfair. Despite the fact that White History Month is celebrated 11 months every year, Black History Month keeps racism alive. BET and TV One make wypipo upset because wypipo only have 1,295 white television networks. But the one thing that really upsets white people is the fact that they can’t use the n-word without being accused of being racist, while black people get to say it all the time. This double standard keeps racism alive because everyone knows that white people spend 22.94 percent of their time dreaming of a valid reason that would allow them to say “nigger” at the top of their lungs. Even when they’re with their sorority sisters or in a presidential Cabinet meeting, they are persecuted whenever they say something that disparages black people, and it is patently unfair. Not only does this inequality keep racism alive, but more important ... It really chaps their hides.

  Our illustrious Attorney General Eric Holder once said that we’re a “nation of cowards” when it comes to talking about race. Is he full of crap or what?
Anyone who reads a newspaper, watches television, or scans the Internet for news of the day can’t escape discussions about race – that’s one of the things most prevalent in the news today. True, the current discussion was triggered by the shooting in Ferguson, but each time another incident with a racial component occurs; it causes the same kind of “discussion” over and over.
What the Attorney General is really saying is that blacks aren’t really equal enough yet, and the fault lies with Caucasians who are (still) treating blacks unfairly. He wants to talk about what whites can do to implement more flavors of affirmative action and to help blacks overcome conditions of their own making.
In no other aspect of life are events that ended 150 years ago used to coerce a majority to compensate a minority for the actions of long dead individuals. But they haven’t forgotten – references to “slaves” and the “plantation” can be seen in signs carried by black protestors even today. Some black “leaders” like Holder, Sharpton, and Jackson, refuse to let slavery die. They still maintain that, if not for slavery, blacks would be equal (or superior) to whites.
But, we are not equal.

Blacks are a minority and that means that we aren’t equal in numbers. Whites make up 77.7% of the population (U.S. Census est. 2013), blacks account for 13.2%. That number alone verifies that we aren’t equal; there are almost six times as many whites as blacks.
We don’t look alike; our skin color is different, our hair is different, our facial components are different – from birth, we are different.
Blacks complain that they aren’t treated equally, but over the past couple of decades blacks have intentionally distanced themselves from the white majority. That is, they are actively and intentionally contributing to becoming less equal, for example:

  • Blacks have made it a point to name their children differently, with uniquely black-centric names.
  • Many (especially young blacks) dress differently: wear pants around their knees, dreadlocks, cornrows, extremely long nails.
  • They talk differently, intentionally, and chastise any black who “talks white.”
  • They created rap “music.” Most of it is vulgar, violent, demeaning to women, and celebrates a gangster lifestyle – yet they embrace it as a uniquely black art form.
  • They show disdain for traditional marriage and family. Seventy-two percent (72%) of black babies are born to unwed mothers (NBC News), Children of unmarried mothers of any race are more likely to perform poorly in school, go to prison, use drugs, and be on welfare. When will black fathers begin to take responsibility for their offspring?
  • They vote as a bloc and refuse to admit any faults in a black office holder. Even now in July of 2014 (Quinnipiac poll), Obama still has the approval of 83% of blacks.
  • They denigrate any black who doesn’t follow the prescribed black paradigm and demean them as “Uncle Toms,” “Oreos,” and other derogatory terms for “acting white.”
  • They refuse to allow our justice system to follow its course and instead impose a guilty sentence on a white target – long before all of the evidence is public knowledge.
  • They seemingly celebrate belligerence – displaying an “attitude” of intimidation and threat of violence when confronted.

Blacks have every right to do those things, they’re free to act, talk, dress differently – it is their right, but it is also the right of white folks to resent that blacks intentionally work at being different. There is a price to pay for being different.

But why would whites (in general) continue to keep a distance from blacks? One reason could be that blacks commit more criminal offenses, especially considering that they’re only 13.2% of the population.
According to Crime in the United States 2012 (FBI.gov), whites were arrested for murder in 48.2% of the cases, while blacks accounted for 49.4% of the arrests. Hold on – they’re close to equal – but no, not when blacks only comprise only 13.2% of the population yet still commit more of the murders than whites.
We aren’t equal when the minority commits more murders than the majority.
And how about robberies? Blacks accounted for 54.9% of all robberies, with whites arrested for 43.4%. Again, remember that only 13.2% of the population is black.
Not equal there either.

Blacks may say that they are more apt to be arrested simply for “being black.” Black men are six times as likely as white men to be in federal and state prisons (Pew Research Center, 2013). That means that they were convicted, not just arrested for crimes that warranted prison time. They stood trial, a jury and judge heard evidence, and they were convicted – that means that they were guilty.
And no other population group has as robust a record of rioting and looting when things don’t go “their way.”
So no, we’re still not equal.

But, they say that they’re disproportionately profiled. The national crime statistics prove that blacks commit crimes at a much higher rate (considering their population) so a certain amount of profiling is necessary.
Does it make sense for law enforcement to be looking for an elderly white woman when reports from the scene described the perpetrator as a young black man? Of course not. Since more crimes are committed by black men, it is only logical that they will be suspects more often. That means that we’re not profiled at the same rate – nor should we. Again, not equal.

Here’s a novel idea – if blacks don’t like being profiled, just account for fewer crimes. When black men (especially young ones) stop committing the majority of crimes in this country, the main reason for their profiling will disappear.

And yet blacks conveniently ignore how much they owe to whites.
White people gave the slaves their freedom and white people paid for their freedoms by dying (disproportionately) in war. There’s almost never any mention that the American men who have died in war for the freedoms we all enjoy were overwhelmingly white. Yet is there any appreciation shown?
Of course not. White men bought our freedom with their blood and it was decidedly not in equal numbers.

SAMBO CRYPTO CURRENCY

There’s never any appreciation shown to whites who foot the bill for housing assistance, SNAP program food stamps, “free” cellphones, etc. Since 41.7 percent of African Americans (Tax Foundation.org) will file a tax return with no liability (they’ll pay no federal income taxes), the money funding welfare programs was first taken from overwhelmingly white taxpayers. For SNAP programs (Pew Research), blacks get 31% of the funding, whites only 15%.
Not equal there either.

Blacks have embraced and embedded into their psyche the concept of “us versus them,” where “them” are white people and they look at everything in life through a prism colored by that concept.
It is unfortunate that few blacks condemn what has become an increasingly confrontational attitude embraced by many black activists. It serves no useful purpose except to widen the gap between the races.
Please explain to me how that contributes to us becoming more “equal.”

This is how these savages celebrate Juneteenth while engaging their nigger personality disorder:

MY PERSONAL VISION OF HELL BY THE CHRISTIAN WARRIOR

Hebrews 9:27

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this comes the judgment:”



Dear Viewer:

               I am sharing a divine encounter which took place on May 25th, 2021 during the stillness of the midnight hours. This was a night vision which God gave me of what is coming to this world on a global level. My motive for sharing this vision is to warn mankind that dark days of judgement are coming. I am not interested in seeking notoriety because I am a sinner saved by grace through Yeshua/Jesus. Our Heavenly Father instructed me to share this warning to all concerned. I seek only to do his will and only to glorify his Holy Name Yahuwah the Lord God the King of the Universe.  At the end of this narrative, I will provide 3 videos below which closely resembles what I saw. Be advised these 3 videos are from other Christian sources. They are not my personal videos. They are simply being posted here to illustrate as closely as possible what I saw in this vision. Okay let's get started.

        On May 25th God the Father gave me a night vision reminiscent to those which the prophets of the Old Testament experienced i.e. the Prophet Daniel.  In this vision my wife and I were in an auditorium within a church setting. After taking our seats, we waited for the screen in front of us to start showing a movie. However, I had no clue what the movie was about. All of a sudden on the screen appeared dark clouds with clapping thunder and lighting, very much like what you see when a fierce storm is approaching. In biblical terms thunder, lighting and dark clouds represent a warning of impending judgement and destruction (cf  Zephaniah  1:15, Psalm 144:6). Suddenly I saw hell appear before my eyes. I saw many souls falling into the fires of hell. It was like watching human souls raining down from the earth and landing on the flames of hell. They had the appearance of skeletons. They had no flesh covering their skeletal frames. They reminded me of the pictures one sees of the bodies of dead Jews during the Nazi Jewish Holocaust in large piles. So many were falling that I couldn't count them. As they fell on the fires of hell in heaps, I could hear their loud screams from the torments they were experiencing. As I continued to watch this, suddenly to the left of the screen appeared God Yahuwah whose name means I Am that I Am the self existing one in Hebrew. His appearance was that of an elderly white man like the Ancient of Days as described in the Book of Daniel. This term, Ancient of Days comes from the Prophet Daniel 7:13-14 which says, “I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man(Jesus) coming with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him(Jesus) dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." 

 Revelation 11:15 - Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying,‘The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,*and he will reign for ever and ever.’

 Yahuwah's description is as follow: He has a white beard, long grey hair, wearing a white robe with a scepter/staff in his right hand. As I watched, he began to talk to me. Not verbally with words but telepathically. He told me there is coming a great judgement on this world. He told me to warn the world of this coming judgment by sharing his WORD. Then the vision ended.

     Dear viewer since May 25th, I've been feeling very restless about all of this. Like having a sense of urgency. The Spirit of God has been prompting me not to keep this message/vision to myself, but to share this with the world. I am very reserved about revelations/visions which God has given to me since the age of 10 through night visions, trance visions and spiritual visions. I usually share them with people I can trust, because many Christians have in the past doubted what God has revealed to me.

       Prior to the above night vision many years before, during the second week of October 1999 God the Father spoke to me in a night vision. I saw Jesus as a new born baby being held by someone's hands. He was crying and moving his little hands and feet like any baby normally does when they cry. Then I heard the voice of God the Father penetrating through the ceiling of my bedroom. He spoke these words to me with sorrow: "THE ONLY REASON I HAVE NOT DESTROYED THIS EARTH WITH MY WRATH, IS BECAUSE OF MY SON, MY SON". Then there was a pause before he spoke again.  Then with an angry tone in his voice he said; "BUT MY SPIRIT WILL NOT CONTEND WITH MANKIND FOREVER. I AM GOING TO JUDGE MANKIND AND DESTROY THIS EARTH"!(cf Genesis 6:3 & Revelation 21:1).

 Dear beloved please don't take this as a figment of my imagination.  Because this is one vision I can't keep to myself. If you are not saved, turn to Yeshua/Jesus and be reconciled with God the Father before it's too late for you! If you are a Bible believing Christian read and study the books of Daniel and Revelation.  Yahuwah has spoken and has revealed that humanity's days are numbered. 

       In closing please view the following  videos  below which provide an illustration of what I saw in this vision. God Bless You.

BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY-A BLACK CHRISTIAN CULT


http://www.texasbikerradio.org/sitedata/letsrolltexassonsofliberty-com/EditorItem_38786_4_15769.jpg

What is Black Liberation Theology?




By Samuel Sey  / June 8, 2020

Topic  CultureJustice

Most evangelicals are unfamiliar with the origins and foundational beliefs of Black Liberation Theology. That is perhaps why many evangelicals today are becoming sympathetic towards its heretical doctrines.

Black Liberation Theology may be largely unknown to many evangelicals today, but it’s a popular theology inside Black churches in America. Black Liberation Theology developed as a mainstream idea within Black American churches several decades ago. However, most Black Canadians and most Black people around the world are not exposed to it. With the notable exception of South Africa – because of Apartheid history – Black Liberation Theology is a distinctly Black American framework.

Black Liberation Theology has infiltrated all types of Black American churches today, and is perceived as orthodox Christianity within all types of Black churches in America. Millions of Black Americans in Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Episcopalian, Presbyterian and other churches today are subjected to sermons from Black Liberation Theology perspectives every Sunday morning. Approximately 40% of Black American churches identify with Black Liberation Theology.[1] This includes thousands of churches from major Black American denominations like the Church of God in Christ and the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

In fact, most of the biggest proponents of Black Liberation Theology and its predecessor theologies were ordained ministers and theologians from the African Methodist Episcopal Church. This includes a founding member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Reverdy C. Ranson, major Reconstruction politician Henry McNeal Turner, and the founder of Black Liberation Theology, James Cone.

Black Liberation Theology exists inside Black churches within multi-ethnic denominations too. For instance, social justice activist Al Sharpton embraced Black Liberation Theology as a young member at a United Church of Christ congregation. And Jeremiah Wright was the pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois for almost 40 years. The church is the largest congregation within its denomination. It holds over 8,000 members. And for 20 years, one of its members was Barack Obama.

Black Liberation Theology gained significant attention in the 2008 American presidential election after clips of Jeremiah Wright’s sermons were released by media outlets. The clips featured Barack Obama’s pastor making conspiracy theories about the American government’s role in the September 11 attacks, the Pearl Harbour attack, the HIV crisis, and more. The widely circulated sermons made the world privy to what many adherents of Black Liberation Theology believe about the American government. In one of the clips, Jeremiah Wright said:

“When it came to treating her citizens of African descent fairly, America failed. She put them in chains, the government put them on slave quarters, put them on auction blocks, put them in cotton field, put them in inferior schools, put them in substandard housing, put them in scientific experiments, put them in the lowest paying jobs, put them outside the equal protection of the law, kept them out of their racist bastions of higher education and locked them into positions of hopelessness and helplessness. The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing “God Bless America”. No, no, no, not God Bless America. God damn America  – that’s in the Bible  – for killing innocent people. God damn America, for treating our citizens as less than human.“[2]

Americans were shocked by Wright’s sermons. They never imagined that many people within Black churches echoed that level of resentment against America. At the time, they didn’t understand that a significant number of Black Americans didn’t want to sing ‘God Bless America’ or honour the American flag. They didn’t think Black Liberation Theology permeated inside Black churches. They didn’t know the next president of the United States at the time was baptized and discipled under that kind of theology.

Barack Obama and his family removed their membership from Trinity United Church of Christ after the clips were released to the media, and Jeremiah Wright retired from pastoring the church soon afterward. The controversy eventually died down. Barack Obama defeated John McCain in the 2008 election and became the 44th person and the 1st Black American to become President of the United States. He maintained his presidency 4 years later when he won the 2012 election over Mitt Romney. And the American public did not experience that kind of hostile rhetoric from Black church leaders again for years – until the Ferguson riots in 2014.

The riots in Ferguson, Missouri were the aftermath of a fatal police shooting of a Black teenager, Michael Brown, by a White police officer, Darren Wilson. A grand jury and the United States Department of Justice ruled in favour of Darren Wilson. They declared that forensic evidence and eyewitness testimonies supported Darren Wilson’s self-defense claim. But the rulings sparked outrage, riots, and demands for social justice. For many Americans, particularly Black Americans, Michael Brown’s fatal shooting was perceived as yet another instance of a racially-motivated murder of a Black teenager. Two years prior to Michael Brown’s shooting, a Black teenager in Florida, Trayvon Martin, was shot and killed after an altercation with a member of a community watch, George Zimmerman. A jury subsequently acquitted Zimmerman of second-degree murder and manslaughter in 2013.

Therefore, tensions from the Trayvon Martin case carried over to the Michael Brown shooting the following year in 2014. Activists, politicians, and media personalities alike suggested that Michael Brown was a victim of America’s systemic racism against Black Americans. Michael Brown’s fatal shooting and the Ferguson riots became arguably the biggest story that year. Time Magazine named the Ferguson protestors runners-up for the magazine’s Person of the Year in 2014.[3] The riots propelled Black Lives Matter into a powerful social justice group. They became the most powerful Black American social justice group since the Black Panthers in the 1960s and 1970s.

The Ferguson riots became the first of many social justice riots across America following fatal shootings of Black Americans by police officers. The riots pushed America’s supposed systemic racism against Black Americans into a major political story. The riots made race relations a major topic in the 2016 American presidential election. And consequently, social justice become the biggest topic in evangelical circles today.

STATEMENT ON SOCIAL JUSTICE AND THE GOSPEL

Last September, John MacArthur, Voddie Baucham, and other evangelical leaders released The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel. The statement presented biblical objections to social justice positions on culture, sexuality, gender, ethnicity and race. Concerning ethnicity and racism, the document states:

“WE DENY that Christians should segregate themselves into racial groups or regard racial identity above, or even equal to, their identity in Christ. We deny that any divisions between people groups (from an unstated attitude of superiority to an overt spirit of resentment) have any legitimate place in the fellowship of the redeemed. We reject any teaching that encourages racial groups to view themselves as privileged oppressors or entitled victims of oppression. While we are to weep with those who weep, we deny that a person’s feelings of offense or oppression necessarily prove that someone else is guilty of sinful behaviors, oppression, or prejudice. And we emphatically deny that lectures on social issues (or activism aimed at reshaping the wider culture) are as vital to the life and health of the church as the preaching of the gospel and the exposition of Scripture. Historically, such things tend to become distractions that inevitably lead to departures from the gospel.“[4]

The Statement received over 10,000 signatures and became a valuable resource for Christians in the wake of growing support for social justice from prominent evangelicals. In fact, The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel was an answer to the social justice movement within evangelical organizations like The Gospel Coalition and the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.

Months prior to the release of the statement, the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission and The Gospel Coalition held a social justice conference named the MLK50 conference – in honour of the fiftieth anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination. That event was followed by the Together for the Gospel conference days afterward, and like the MLK50 conference, it featured an emphasis on social justice.

The conferences suggested that America was systemically racist against Black Americans. Many of the evangelical leaders from the conferences claimed that many White Christians were guilty of ignoring justice for Black Americans. They didn’t list evidence to support their claims. They couldn’t prove that the current American government is systemically racist. They didn’t refer to any racist policies to validate their words. Nevertheless, they charged many White American Christians with apathy or support for racism, and they commanded them to repent.

One of the speakers at the Together for the Gospel conference, David Platt, said: “May it be said of us that we eagerly anticipated future salvation while acknowledging present sin. May it not be said of us that we indulged in worship while ignoring justice, and may it not be said of us that we carried on religion while we refused to repent.” [5]

The conferences elicited strong, polarizing reactions from evangelicals. Some Christians were delighted over the conferences’ support for social justice. Other Christians, however, were deeply disappointed over prominent evangelicals adopting social justice as a gospel issue. This culminated into the Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel months later.

But in between these events, James Cone – the founder of Black Liberation Theology – died. Many Christians who support social justice offered eulogies on social media expressing their admiration for James Cone. The most candid admiration for James Cone’s theology, however, came from the president of The Witness: A Black Christian Collective, Jemar Tisby. He dedicated an entire article, without restraint, to commend James Cone’s theology. In the article, he said:

 “A father of black liberation theology, Cone helped pioneer a field that dealt with the racism at the core of much of American Christianity…. He shows that black people could understand Christ’s suffering by recalling their own sorrow related to the lynching tree. At the same time, the cross provided comfort because black people could know for certain that in His life and death, Christ identified with the oppressed.” [6]

Then in his book, The Color of Compromise, from earlier this year, Jemar Tisby wrote:

“James Cone penned The Cross and the Lynching Tree as a theological reflection on racial terrorism. ‘Both Jesus and blacks were strange fruit’, he wrote. ‘Theologically speaking, Jesus was the first lynchee,’ who foreshadowed all the lynched black bodies on American soil.’ Cone goes on to explain, ‘The cross helped me to deal with the brutal legacy of the lynching tree, and the lynching tree helped me understand the tragic meaning of the cross.’”[7]

Jemar Tisby is part of a long line of professing Christians today who have embraced a form of Black Liberation Theology in the wake of Black Lives Matter and the social justice movement. This development actually follows a historical trend. Many social justice leaders within evangelicalism today are much like James Cone and his theological predecessors who abandoned biblical theology to adopt worldly philosophies from liberal theologians and activists from their time as a means to fight injustice.

ABOLITION AND LIBERALISM

The basis for Black Liberation Theology can be traced back to liberal theology within the abolitionist movement. Many abolitionist leaders such as William Lloyd Garrison and Theodore Parker abandoned biblical theology because one of biggest obstacles for abolitionism at the time was that many Christians used the Bible to defend slavery. In his book, The Civil War as a Theological Crisis, historian Mark Noll demonstrates that some of the most influential Christian leaders in the nineteenth century, including Richard Fuller, James Henley Thornwell, J.W. Tucker, and probably a majority of Christians throughout America justified their pro-slavery stance with Scripture. [8]

This prompted many abolitionists like Garrison to become increasingly antagonistic to the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible. Garrison wrote:

“There are two dogmas which the priesthood have attempted to enforce, respecting the Bible, from which has resulted great mischief. The first is – its plenary inspiration…the other dogma is – the Bible is the only rule of faith and practise; so that whatever it teaches or allows must be right, and whatever it forbids must be wrong, independent of all other considerations…. Hence, if slavery is or war is allowed in the book, it cannot be wrong.” [9]

Black abolitionists like Garrison’s close friend, Frederick Douglass, also adopted liberal theology. In his book, By These Hands, Black Liberation theologian Anthony B. Pinn explains that Frederick Douglass’ colleagues like unitarian preacher Theodore Parker, agnostic writer Robert Ingersoll, and his mentor, William Lloyd Garrison, convinced Douglass to reject biblical Christianity.[10]

Consequently, liberal theology became prominent within Black abolitionist circles. For instance, the Civil War-era Black abolitionist and women’s rights activist Sojourner Truth, rejected the deity of Christ. In her speech at the Ohio Women’s Convention in 1851, she said: “How came Jesus into the world? Through God who created Him and woman who bore Him.”[11]  By the beginning of the twentieth century, Black church leaders – particularly leaders within the African Methodist Episcopal Church, such as Henry Mcneal Turner and Reverdy C. Ransom advocated for a social gospel formed by liberal theology and Marxism.[12]

Their theology was much like Walter Rauschenbusch’s social gospel. In fact, Rauschenbusch’s book, Christianity and the Social Crisis, laid the foundation for liberation theology. Decades after the book’s release, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “Christianity and the Social Crisis…left an indelible imprint on my thinking by giving me a theological basis for the social concern which had already grown up in me.”[13]

Therefore, Martin Luther King Jr. and many of his peers, including Rosa Parks – a life-long member and deacon of the African Methodist Episcopal Church – embraced the social gospel. In a letter to his wife, Coretta Scott King, in 1952, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “Let us continue to hope, work, and pray that in the future we will live to see a warless world, a better distribution of wealth, and a brotherhood that transcends race or color. This is the gospel that I will preach to the world.”[14]

JAMES CONE

The fruits of Martin Luther King Jr.’s gospel blossomed into Black Liberation Theology almost two decades later. In 1969, James Cone – an ordained minister from the African Methodist Episcopal Church – released a book titled Black Theology and Black Power.

Just as many evangelicals today adopted social justice theology following Black Lives Matter’s emergence during the Ferguson riots, so the Black Power movement in the 1960s, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s social gospel shaped James Cone’ theology. Cone wrote:

“I did not want [Malcolm X] to disturb the theological certainties that I had learned in graduate school. But with the urban unrest in the cities and the rise of Black Power during the James Meredith March in Mississippi (June 1966) …I could no longer ignore Malcolm’s devastating criticisms of Christianity, particularly as they were being expressed in the articulate and passionate voices of Stokely Carmichael, Ron Karenga, the Black Panthers, and other young African-American activists. For me, the burning theological question was, how can I reconcile Christianity and Black Power, Martin Luther King, Jr.’s idea of nonviolence and Malcolm X’s ‘by any means necessary’ philosophy? The writing of Black Theology and Black Power was the beginning of my search for a resolution of that dilemma.”[15]

Thus, like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and many of his theological predecessors, James Cone rejected biblical theology. Black Liberation Theology is built on the foundation of liberal theology and the social gospel. Naturally, Black Liberation Theology rejects the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture. James Cone wrote, “if the basic truth of the gospel is that the Bible is the infallible word of God, then it is inevitable that more emphasis will be placed upon ‘true’ propositions about God than upon God as active in the liberation of the oppressed of the land.”[16]

Black Liberation Theology was initially a reactionary theology against White, orthodox Christians who were apathetic or sympathetic to anti-Black racism. It’s the ramifications of a long history of many White Christians using the Bible to justify racist, pro-slavery, and segregationist beliefs. Therefore, this reactionary theology is prompted by anger and anti-White racism. Black Liberation Theology leaders admit that their theology is built on hatred for White people, but they do not believe that their hatred for White people is racist. Cone writes:

“It is important to make a further distinction here among black hatred, black racism, and black Power. Black hatred is the black man’s strong aversion to white society. No black man living in white America can escape it…. But the charge of black racism cannot be reconciled with the facts. While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism.”[17]

James Cone’s selective definition for racism can be explained by Black Liberation Theology’s relativist positions on sin. In fact, Black Liberation Theology’s poor concept of sin is why it cannot offer anything more than a social gospel. Black Liberation Theology leaders major on social issues because they minor on sin. Its entire theological system is made up of man-centered or Black-centered thinking that cannot liberate those whom it purports to liberate. It is conformed to the world. Its proponents are not being transformed by renewing their mind on Scripture. Therefore, they cannot discern the good and perfect will of God. (Rom. 12:2) Cone again:

“But there is no perfect guide for discerning God’s movement in the world, Contrary to what many conservatives say, the Bible is not a blueprint on this matter. It is a valuable symbol for point to God’s revelation in Jesus, but it is not self-interpreting. We are thus place in an existential situation of freedom in which the burden is on us to make decisions without a guaranteed ethical guide.”[18]

For that reason, Black Liberation Theology doesn’t offer a saviour for sin. It doesn’t offer a sole saviour for a multitude of sins. It exchanges the power of God for Black power. It substitutes the supremacy of Christ for Black supremacy. It is a theology designed to repay evil for evil. Black Liberation Theology is simply a kind of liberal, social gospel.

Thus, in the 1997 edition of Black Theology and Black Power, James Cone wrote:

“As in 1969, I still regard Jesus Christ today as the chief focus of my perspective on God but not to the exclusion of other religious perspectives. God’s reality is not bound by one manifestation of the divine in Jesus but can be found wherever people are being empowered to fight for freedom. Life-giving power for the poor and the oppressed is the primary criterion that we must use to judge the adequacy of our theology, not abstract concepts.”[19]

In Black Liberation Theology, Jesus isn’t the God and saviour of sinners, He isn’t the atoning sacrifice who redeems the world. No, according to Black Liberation Theology teachers like James Cone, Jesus is merely the god of the oppressed – who uniquely identifies with Black people to liberate them from oppressive White people or “white devils” and “antichrists.”[20]

And as Cone explains in a 1980 essay, this liberation is a religious revolution with major political implications:

“Why not think of a completely new society and begin to devise ways to realize it on earth? Perhaps what we need today is to return to that “good old-time religion” of our grandparents and combine with it a Marxist critique of society. Together black religion and Marxist philosophy may show us the way to build a completely new society. With that combination, we may be able to realize in the society the freedom of which we sing and pray for in the black church.”[21]

In other words, Black Liberation Theology is Marxist philosophy with heretical theology. It’s a theological framework strictly designed to accomplish a Marxist revolution for Black people, and evangelical leaders like Jemar Tisby have become sympathetic to it.

But Black Liberation Theology is one of the most destructive heresies in Black American churches today. It’s shaped the way many Black people think about God and government. It’s shaped the way many people in Black American churches perceive themselves and others. But we shouldn’t be shaped by a history of racism, we should be shaped and conformed into the image of Christ. The answer to racism isn’t Black Liberation Theology. No, the answer to racism is biblical theology that doesn’t repay evil for evil.

Black Liberation Theology is destroying many Black Americans. Instead of capitulating to its heresies by adopting a form of their social justice theology to win their approval, we need to challenge Black Liberation Theology with the true gospel of Jesus Christ, who lived, died, and was resurrected for White, Black, and all sinners.
