Regarding your above post, Cone would say that is just your Anglocentric view of it. He would say that's a white interpretaion to justify slavery and oppression. I think he's full of hooey, but that is part of his ideology. He believes that blacks need to have an interpretation that is soley their's, which I don't have a problem with. According to his ideology the main focus from the bible should be the message of fighting oppression and injustice, again no real problem with him thinking that. The problem comes with the idea that the only way to work for justice is through hate. I don't think it's a far stretch to say that most people would find his interprtation flawed.
Race based theology is DANGEROUS!!!! Let's not kid ourselves, some of the world's most horrific human travesties have been carried out under the guise of race based theology. It just can't be justified to me.
