JEREMIAH WRIGHT IS WRONG ABOUT THE WHITE CHURCH IN AMERICA: ABOLITION WAS SPEAR-HEADED BY WHITE CHRISTIANS

Obama's church and pastor of 20 years calls the white church in America SATANIC:

...the founder of the modern black liberation theology James Cone announced that Obama's Church most embodied his message.
Terrific.

McClatchy reported:

Jesus is black. Merging Marxism with Christian Gospel may show the way to a better tomorrow. The white church in America is the Antichrist because it supported slavery and segregation.

BUT: American slavery was not defended by white churches; it was abolished by white churches; (many who were not church leaders were children of church leaders) - here's a partial list:

1. James Ramsay (1733–1789) was a ship’s surgeon, Anglican priest, and leading abolitionist.
2. The Clapham Sect was an influential group of like-minded Church of England social reformers in England at the beginning of the nineteenth century (active c. 1790 – 1830).Its members were chiefly prominent and wealthy evangelical Anglicans who shared common political views concerning the liberation of slaves, the abolition of the slave trade and the reform of the penal system.
3. The Quakers and the Committee for the Abolition Slave Trade: The first statement by Quakers was signed at Germantown, Friends Meeting in Germantown Pennsylvania in 1688. English Quakers had begun to express their official disapproval of the slave trade since 1727 and promote reforms.
4. In Britain - WILLIAM WILBERFORCE:
   

   William Wilberforce (August 24, 1759 – July 29, 1833) was a British politician and philanthropist. A native of Hull, Yorkshire, he began his political career in 1780 and became the independent Member of Parliament for Yorkshire (1784–1812). A close friend of Prime Minister William Pitt, in 1785 he underwent a conversion experience and became an evangelical Christian. In 1787 he came into contact with Thomas Clarkson and a group of anti-slave trade activists, including Granville Sharp, Beilby Porteus, Hannah More and Lord Middleton.

   At their suggestion, Wilberforce was persuaded to take on the cause. He became one of the leading English abolitionists, heading the parliamentary campaign against the British slave trade, which he saw through to the eventual passage of the Slave Trade Act in 1807.

5. WHITE CHRISTIAN - John Brown: John Brown (May 9, 1800 – December 2, 1859) was a white American abolitionist who advocated and practiced armed insurrection as a means to abolish slavery. He led the Pottawatomie Massacre in 1856 in Bleeding Kansas and the unsuccessful raid at Harpers Ferry in 1859. ... Historians agree John Brown played a major role in starting the Civil War.^[4] His role and actions prior to the Civil War, as an abolitionist, and the tactics he chose still make him a controversial figure today. ...Although Brown withdrew his membership from the Congregational church in the 1840s and never officially joined another church, both he and his father Owen were fairly conventional, conservative evangelical Calvinists throughout their lives. Brown's conservative personal religion is fairly well documented in the papers of the Rev Clarence Gee, a Brown family expert, now held in the Hudson [Ohio] Library and Historical Society.
6. WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON: (12 December 1805 – 24 May 1879) was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts and was a prominent American abolitionist, journalist, and social reformer. He is best known as the editor of the radical abolitionist newspaper, The Liberator, and as one of the founders of the American Anti-Slavery Society. ... Garrison soon became involved with the opposition to slavery, writing for and then becoming co-editor with Benjamin Lundy of the Quaker Genius of Universal Emancipation newspaper in Baltimore, Maryland.
7. Henry Ward Beecher (June 24, 1813 – March 8, 1887) was a prominent, theologically liberal American Congregationalist clergyman, social reformer, abolitionist, and speaker in the mid to late 19th Century.
8. John Rankin (February 4, 1793 – March 18, 1886) was a Presbyterian minister, educator and abolitionist. Upon moving to Ripley, Ohio in 1822, he became known as one of Ohio's first and most active "conductors" on the Underground Railroad.

WHAT DOES THIS PARTIAL LIST TELL US ABOUT WRIGHT AND OBAMA?

• THIS LIST PROVES THAT THE OPINION OF JEREMIAH WRIGHT - AND THE BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGISTS - THAT THE "WHITE CHURCH" IS EVIL BECAUSE IT CONDONED SLAVERY - IS FALSE AND RACIST AND IDIOTIC.

• THE WHITE CHURCH AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE CHIEFLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENDING SLAVERY IN THE USA.

• BLACKS OWE A DEBT TO BOTH - AND ALL THE WHITE UNION SOLDIERS WHO DIED AND WERE INJURED IN THE CIVIL WAR, AMERICA'S BLOODIEST.

• ANY MAN WHO AGREES WITH WRIGHT'S THEOLOGY IS UNFIT FOR HIGH OFFICE IN THE USA.

• OBAMA'S 20 YEAR MEMBERSHIP PROVES HE FOUND THIS THEOLOGY ACCEPTABLE; THEREFORE, OBAMA IS UNFIT FOR HIGH OFFICE.

BOTTOM-LINE - FROM JEFF JACOBY:

Were my rabbi to gloat that America got its just desserts on 9/11, or to claim that the US government invented AIDS as an instrument of genocide, or to urge his congregants to sing "God Damn America" instead of "God Bless America," I would know about it straightaway, even if I hadn't actually been in the sanctuary when he spoke.

The news would spread rapidly through the congregation, and in short order one of two things would happen: Either the rabbi would be gone, or I and scores of others would walk out, unwilling to remain in a house of worship that tolerated such poisonous teachings.

I have no doubt that the same would be true for millions of worshipers in countless houses of worship nationwide.

But it wasn't true for Obama, whose long and admiring relationship with Wright, a man he describes as his "mentor", remained intact for more than 20 years, notwithstanding the incendiary and bigoted messages the minister used his pulpit to promote.

... the problem for Obama is that for two decades his spiritual home has been a church in which the minister damns America to the enthusiastic approval of the congregation, and not until it threatened to scuttle his political ambitions did Obama finally find the mettle to condemn the minister's odium.

When Don Imus uttered his infamous slur on the radio last year, Obama cut him no slack. Imus should be fired, he said. "There's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group."

When it came to Wright, however, he wasn't nearly so categorical. Oh, he's "like an old uncle who says things I don't always agree with," Obama indulgently explained to one interviewer. He's just "trying to be provocative," he told another." Far from severing his ties to Wright, Obama made him a member of his Religious Leadership Committee -- a tie he finally cut only four days ago."

Such a clanging double standard raises doubts about Obama's character and judgment, and about his fitness for the role of race-transcending healer.

VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
