"Oh you asked about me. I rebel and fight against anything in the way of black liberation theology"
Greetings
Ok maybe you can offer even more clarity for me.
Do you think Obama is for black liberation?
If so, why did he back away from Rev. Wright?
Why did he refuse to go to forum dealing with racism?
If not, why would you be FOR him since you, " rebel and fight against anything in the way of black liberation theology"?
I really dont think you know what you are for.
You seem to be struggling with the "double-consciousness" that W.E.B Dubois talked about:
"After the Egyptian and Indian, the Greek and Roman, the Teuton and Mongolian, the Negro is a sort of seventh son, born with a veil, and gifted with second-sight in this American world,--a world which yields him no true self-consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the revelation of the other world. It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity. One ever feels his twoness,--an American, a Negro; two warring souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder."
