Obama’s Black Separatist Church
No wonder Obama consorts with and promotes racists and anti-Semites
by Bill Levinson
We were directed to the home page of Barack Obama’s chuch, the Trinity United Church of Christ. Take a look at the “About Us” page:
The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:
1. A congregation committed to ADORATION.
2. A congregation preaching SALVATION.
3. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
4. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
Barack Obama needs to figure out pretty quickly whether, as a member of this church, he has a non-negotiable commitment to Africa or, as a United States Senator, a non-negotiable commitment to the United States of America. Noting his failure to put his hand over his heart for our National Anthem (as even Hillary Clinton was doing at the time), we have formed our own conclusions.
5. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
6. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
7. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
“African people in diaspora” sounds like they think all Black people belong in Africa, a viewpoint shared by numerous unsavory white supremacist groups. Who needs the Ku Klux Klan when they have the Trinity United Church of Christ to push the Klan’s agenda? The page adds,
We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian… Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.
Again, Barack Obama needs to decide whether he remains true to his “native land” (in which case, he should move there and take his racist and anti-Semitic friend Al Sharpton with him), or to the country whose President he wants to become.
Meanwhile, the description of Africa as the “cradle of civilization” is a pathetic joke. All ancient civilizations developed around rivers like those in Mesopotamia, the Ganges and Indus, the Nile, and the Yellow River in China. Ancient Egypt (white people) and Ethiopia (black people), both of which have access to the Nile, were therefore the only significant ancient African civilizations. The opera “Aida” describes a conflict in which Ethiopia’s military power was apparently sufficient to threaten Egypt, while the Greek legend of Perseus and Andromeda involves contact with Ethiopia. (One children’s book of Greek myths portrays Andromeda as a blonde and blue-eyed princess, when she would actually have been a Negro.)
Unless an African-American can claim Ethiopian ancestry, he is therefore the descendent of primitive tribes who, like their Caucasian counterparts in most of Europe at the time,* probably wore more paint than clothing. If Barack Obama’s candidacy is one fairy tale (more like a horror story, with Obama as a Frankenstein monster created by the Daley political machine and George Soros), “Africa as the cradle of civilization” is another. It wouldn’t surprise us if Jeremiah Wright and his Trinity United Church of Christ believe that Cleopatra was a Black person, even though she was actually a Greek; a descendent of one of Alexander the Great’s generals.
Now take a look at TUCC’s online bookstore
Books: Africentric and Christian
http://www.tucc.org/store2/index.cfm?action=moreinfo&pid=174
Breaking the Chains of Psychological Slavery…”What is the psychological consequence for Blacks and Whites of picturing God as a Caucasian?” Learn how to break the chains of your mental slavery with this new book by one of the worlds outstanding experts on the African-American mind.
That’s funny, we didn’t think that Jews or Christians pictured God at all; our God is invisible. Jesus, as a Middle Eastern Jew, was of course a Caucasian, and that is how he appears in most churches. Jesus, however, takes on a distinctly Hispanic appearance in many places in Mexico and South America, while Black versions appear in Africa. This simply reflects the tendency of people to portray their deity in their own images, assuming that their religion allows them to make pictures of their deity.

Down, Up, and Over Slave Religion and Black Theology
… For Whites the Bible was used as a way of validating their enslavement of Blacks and their racial inferiority. For slaves, the Bible and religion became a liberating way for them to create their own sense of self and identity.
While some white people doubtlessly used the Bible for this purpose, the Abolitionist movement was driven heavily if not primarily by Christian influences. Uncle Tom’s Cabin appealed to prevailing Christian values to denounce slavery as evil and un-Christian. Uncle Tom, as well as several benevolent Caucasian characters, are portrayed as Christians while the villainous Simon Legree comes across as an incarnation of the Devil.
We also remind our readers that Obama’s pastor Jeremiah Wright also said that “white America” got its “wake up call” on 9/11, along with other racist and anti-American remarks (like comparing the United States to Iraq under Saddam Hussain). If this is the kind of thing that Obama wants to bring with him to the Senate, let alone the White House, voters need to send him back where he came from at the earliest opportunity.
* As an example, the British Prime Minister Disraeli once replied to an anti-Jewish slur with the words, “Yes, I am a Jew, and while the right honourable gentleman’s ancestors were blue-painted savages on an inaccessible island, mine were priests in the Temple of Solomon.”

Shalom Bill,
If this church is “unapologetically Christian”, can we expect them to challenge Nigeria’s allowing the practice of Sharia “”"law”"”?

What racist (despite the pandering to Ethiopia) claptrap. And you write that “our God is invisible” when your God is a little slice of territory on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean and its separatist, anti-native ideology. Do you think the gilded priests in the Temple of Solomon had anything on the blue-painted savages? Read the bible which is replete with tribal savagery, so much so that the country fell apart before crumbling in the face of larger and more powerful civilizations.
Why don’t we just replace the reference to Obama with Joe Lieberman and ask him about “dual-loyalty”?
And then we can publish a picture of Lieberman and Sharansky (http://www.democracyandsecurity.org/foto/IMG_6986.jpg) and ask him about why he hugs a racist anti-Palestinian.

The Other Alan,
Joe Lieberman’s primary loyalty is to the United States. If it lay elsewhere, I would not have any use for him. In case you have forgotten, Israel is a free democracy like the United States, while its enemies are theocracies, monarchies, and dictatorships; the traditional enemies of the United States.
You are right about Biblical savagery, and the ancient cradles of civilization were hardly cradles of modern human rights. The fact that the civilizations of that era were technologically advanced (e.g. they wore clothing and armor instead of animal skins and paint) and organized with centralized governments instead of tribal associations did not mean they were not capable of enormous cruelty. In fact, the more advanced and organized a culture is, the more efficient it is when it wants to commit mass murder. The ancient Hebrews admittedly behaved little better or worse than their contemporaries like the Assyrians (as reported in the Old Testament). The Romans were the most advanced civilization of that era, but they committed cruelties that were easily comparable to those of the blue-painted Caucasian savages with whom they were fighting. While the Celts burned people alive in wicker cages, the Romans massacred them wholesale in their arenas. I doubt, however, that contemporary Africans were utopian pacifists who built great cities while singing “Kumbaya” together. Remember that the white slave traders usually bought their slaves from warlike African tribes (or Arabs) who captured them in the first place.
It’s pretty hard to be a “racist” anti-Palestinian, noting that Palestinians are white people, and Semites in the bargain. The Palestinians’ behavioral choices are exactly that: choices, and not a “race.”

Bill,
I will disregard the Other Alans remarks for the moment and address yours; If you are correct about Lieberman and most of the other American Jews then I accuse you of having Learned nothing and forgotten nothing!!!
6 million of your Brothers and sisters perished under Hitler and American Jews except for a small number remained silent out of that same fear of being accused of dual Loyalty! If you are so afraid of what the Gentile will think of you ,say or do then I cab only pity you and others who feel the same way. Is your Israel advocacy a means of expiation for you? Maybe you have a guilty conscious? or are you so insecure in the Goldina Medina , that you want to have an insurance policy just in case? While there need not be a conflict of interest on this point it could happen and we now know where you stand, if it ever came to such a conflict; you won’t be with us! Thats when it will really count. We here in Israel will need to know and absorb this truth that after over 60 years since the Holocaust, and after the silence of most American Jewry, who allowed it to happen, by not standing up and doing every thing they could to save some remnant You Americans cowering in fear shut up and hid from this truth! If you really believe this, you have in the most basic way removed yourself from the list of those who can be considered Jewish. If a Jew cannot count on another Jew in times of crisis we are all doomed.Judaism 101!
The other Alan either you an agent provocateur , or an antisemite or maybe both, it really is irrelevant.
I refer you to the following: and there are many many more where these came from.
