Black liberation theology is a theological perspective found in some Christian churches and the Nation of Islam in the United States which holds race as the primary catalyst behind the followers point of view. It is an instance of the liberation theology which originated in 1931 from Islamic speakers on black empowerment and incorporates viewpoints from Catholic theologians in the 1950s.
Liberation theology observes that Jesus Christ was a religious leader seeking greater justice for the oppressed and occupied people of Israel and views his teachings as both an inspiration and a model for others to seek freedom from injustice. Black liberation theology differs by focusing less on Jewish oppression and more on black empowerment, citing slavery and oppression of the African races in the United States as proof of their viewpoint's validity. Some credit liberation theology for the emergence of a more socially conscious Catholic Church during the 1962 Vatican II conference and for influencing Latin American peasant and grass-roots movements throughout the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
Black liberation theology seeks to liberate people of color from multiple forms of political, social, economic, and religious subjugation and views Christian theology as a theology of liberation -- "a rational study of the being of God in the world in light of the existential situation of an oppressed community, relating the forces of liberation to the essence of the Gospel, which is Jesus Christ," writes James Hal Cone.
Well which is it? Cause if you show me your dd214 you're gonna be proving something to a "redneck".
1) I didn't outright claim you haven't served dopey.
2) I've only asked, repeatedly now, how you don't know the difference between a .22 rim fire and an M16 cartridge despite your claims of serving.
Tell me rcg are you a black liberation theology guy.Quote from RCG Trader:
Really????
When is the last time you picked up a history book?
All evidence points to yes from your posts, I'm just wondering if you have come to a conscious decision concerning the matter.
If you are not , tell us what part of BLT you disagree with.
Please note : Agreeing with the philosophy but being too damn lazy to go to a sermon near you counts in my book as "active belief".
Btw; It's probably best for you to avoid my new thread, I mean with your previous history of "talking shit and running away" and all.
nobody wants to take away your freedom
We're just looking out for your best interests son, believe it or not.
We don't really mind that you are an idiot or not. Essentially nobody does well in a workers paradise (aka abject poverty and lack of personal freedom) which includes you and your betters (that would be me).
You need to get your head outta your ass and realize capitalism improves the lot of everyone. The rising tide of capitalism lifts all boats, even the ones with holes in their hull.
Like you haven't benefited immensely yourself.
This is like a feral child(rcg) taken from a cave being brought to a party (even if in chains).
Once at the party the child is let out of chains, can leave whenever he wants and has all the rights and privileges of everyone else. luxuries abound for the partaking but poor ole rcg is still pissed at everybody else that he's at the party but lacks the courage to go back to his cave.
