Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Is this really black theology? I read this book trying to understand Obama's mind set. After all he attended this church for 20 years.

The author James H. Cone wrote the book ... Read More Rating: - Angry racist hate speech Angry rantings of a hate-filled racist and separatist. Books like this go a long way in keeping Blacks from being successful. Rating: - Culmination of meaning James Cone put forth Black Theology and Black Power as an explanation of the change required for black men to survive in this society. Cone defines black power as, "complete emancipation of black people by whatever means black people deem necessary." This emancipation call means, "black people no longer see themselves as without human dignity but as men."
