Well ever since the hateful,
racist words of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, |
| 00:00:04 |
00:00:07 |
finally saw the cold light of day,
for just a brief second, |
| 00:00:08 |
00:00:09 |
we've been talking about it
on this program, |
| 00:00:10 |
00:00:12 |
and on my radio program
we've also been talking about, |
| 00:00:12 |
00:00:15 |
radical black liberation theology.
I had never heard of it before. |
| 00:00:16 |
00:00:19 |
Well you need to know about it's
agressive anti-white foundation. |
| 00:00:20 |
00:00:25 |
This is hate-speech pure and simple.
I feel that if a potential President, |
| 00:00:26 |
00:00:29 |
like Barack Obama,
was exposed to these beliefs, |
| 00:00:29 |
00:00:32 |
for over a 20 year period,
and then supported it, |
| 00:00:32 |
00:00:36 |
to the tune of,
$127,500 dollar check, |
| 00:00:36 |
00:00:39 |
said here you go Rev.
Maybe we should understand it a bit. |
| 00:00:40 |
00:00:45 |
Seems Barack puts his money
where his mouth isn't. |
| 00:00:45 |
00:00:46 |
I'm not sure.
Joining me now is, |
| 00:00:47 |
00:00:48 |
Anthony B. Bradley.
He is a Research Fellow, |
| 00:00:49 |
00:00:50 |
at the Action Institute and
Assistand Professor of Theology, |
| 00:00:51 |
00:00:54 |
at Covenant Theological Seminaries
in St. Louis. |
| 00:00:54 |
00:00:57 |
Anthony, I asked you to write
a series of essays for me, |
| 00:00:57 |
00:01:03 |
three essays, to be able to help
understand what this theology is, |
| 00:01:04 |
00:01:08 |
because I'd never heard of it
before. And I've read all three of them, |
| 00:01:08 |
00:01:09 |
and they're going out
in the newsletter this week, |
| 00:01:10 |
00:01:12 |
and I think we can boil it down.
So maybe you can hit on, |
| 00:01:12 |
00:01:19 |
these three things here quickly.
First, it reduces all problems of the world, |
| 00:01:20 |
00:01:23 |
to the white man.
Right or wrong? |
| 00:01:25 |
00:01:27 |
Well one of the things that
happens in black liberation theology, |
| 00:01:28 |
00:01:32 |
is that it actually reduces all sin
to white racism. It's almost as if, |
| 00:01:33 |
00:01:37 |
Adam and Eve fell in the garden,
they sinned and then we leap-frogged, |
| 00:01:37 |
00:01:39 |
to white supremacy.
So the starting point, |
| 00:01:39 |
00:01:42 |
is always white racism
and that's exactly what you saw, |
| 00:01:43 |
00:01:47 |
in her and Jeremiah Wright's
anti Clinton rant, |
| 00:01:47 |
00:01:52 |
that we heard a couple of weeks ago.
-OK now we haven't heard this, |
| 00:01:52 |
00:01:55 |
from anybody in the Obama camp.
I've never him say anything, |
| 00:01:55 |
00:01:58 |
that I thought was racist.
I mean I thought he said some things that, |
| 00:01:59 |
00:02:00 |
you know white people wouldn't
get away with, |
| 00:02:01 |
00:02:03 |
you know about being
the typical white person, etc, etc. |
| 00:02:04 |
00:02:05 |
But I don't care,
I've got a life. |
| 00:02:06 |
00:02:10 |
The 1960's however,
we have heard some of this rhetoric, |
| 00:02:10 |
00:02:12 |
spill out of his mouth.
You say point number 2 is, |
| 00:02:12 |
00:02:16 |
that it's all about black victimhood,
and ignoring progress. |
| 00:02:17 |
00:02:20 |
His wife said, you know,
I've never been proud of the United States. |
| 00:02:21 |
00:02:25 |
I can't believe that it's taken this long
for us to make it and poor us, bla bla bla. |
| 00:02:25 |
00:02:29 |
Instead of saying,
look at what we've accomplished. |
| 00:02:30 |
00:02:33 |
Exactly, sadly many of these
black liberation theologians, |
| 00:02:34 |
00:02:38 |
are stuck in the 1960's,
and this naturally leads into, |
| 00:02:39 |
00:02:41 |
this idea that blacks are
perpetually victims, |
| 00:02:41 |
00:02:44 |
and that they've always
been victims of white supremacy, |
| 00:02:44 |
00:02:50 |
and it completely ignores,
all of the evidence that points to progress, |
| 00:02:50 |
00:02:53 |
in the black community.
You can look at Atlanta for example, |
| 00:02:53 |
00:02:57 |
and see scores and scores of
Millionaires who are absolute Americans. |
| 00:02:57 |
00:03:02 |
Alright and the 3rd point I guess is
marxism and redistribution of wealth, |
| 00:03:02 |
00:03:06 |
and I would assume reparations,
fall into this category. |
| 00:03:07 |
00:03:10 |
Well one of the things that happens
also is that marxism is seen as, |
| 00:03:10 |
00:03:13 |
a vehicle to bring about justice.
And we also know that, |
| 00:03:14 |
00:03:17 |
that is nothing but government forced
wealth redistribution, |
| 00:03:17 |
00:03:20 |
at the hands of people
who didn't earn the wealth, |
| 00:03:20 |
00:03:24 |
and so we're trying to find a way
to wrap this up. |
| 00:03:25 |
00:03:28 |
OK. Anthony thank you so much.
