"Christ is black therefore not because of some cultural or psychological need of black people, but because and only because Christ really enters into our world where the poor were despised and the black are, disclosing that he is with them enduring humiliation and pain and transforming oppressed slaves into liberating servants."
"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community...Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."
"Black power means that blacks are publicly declaring that whatever white people do, it will inevitably work against black freedom. Black people realize that they cannot change oppressors' attitudes by praying, singing gospel hymns and reading Scripture or preaching sermons. Neither can we change their attitude simply by peaceably disobeying laws and allowing the oppressors to beat our women and children with police clubs. It just isn't true that if we try hard enough and wait patiently, eventually the oppressors will feel ashamed of their conduct and thus relinquish their power to enslave. Oppressors have no conscience except that of defending their own interests. We wait in vain for the Holy Spirit on this matter!"

And this is the guy Rev. Jeremiah Wright (amongst others such as Xavier Pickett of Reformed Blacks of America) wishes we would read?
Obama's now former church has always taught Jesus as the "black messiah" and black people as the "chosen people of God," which is as ridiculous as Nazi Germany's teaching that Jesus was not a Jew, but an Aryan Galilean, making the Aryan nation God's chosen people.
Obama sat under this kind of teaching for many, many years. Hmmmmmmm.
