What many miss about Reverend Wright is that he is what one would call a peculiar theology of black liberation.....not unlike many Christians who do not understand who or what a Christian Zionist is.....
The peculiar theology of black liberation By Spengler
Senator Barack Obama is not a Muslim, contrary to invidious rumors. But he belongs to a Christian church whose doctrine casts Jesus Christ as a "black messiah" and blacks as "the chosen people". At best, this is a radically different kind of Christianity than most Americans acknowledge; at worst it is an ethnocentric heresy.
What played out last week on America's television screens was a clash of two irreconcilable cultures, the posture of "black liberation theology" and the mainstream American understanding of Christianity. Obama, who presented himself as a unifying figure, now seems rather the living embodiment of the clash.
One of the strangest dialogues in American political history ensued on March 15 when Fox News interviewed Obama's pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, of Chicago's Trinity Church. Wright asserted the authority of the "black liberation" theologians James Cone and Dwight Hopkins:

But when he brings up the European settlement of the North American continent,
It worked for the them in Africa...not so much in Australia...no surprise he mentions that although the only ones who can claim that with authority are the Lokota Indians
First, I agree with Peppa: excellent observation on the black nationalism and Zionism common denominator; outstanding.
Second, the good reverend is talking about Europeans committing terrorism against American Indian populations. He evidently wants European-Americans to hate themselves for winning the civilizational conflict between cultures.
