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:

There are powerful elements of this message. I agree with him that our foreign policy needs restraint. But when he brings up the European settlement of the North American continent, he crosses a line for me.
And don't think John McCain does not cross a similar line for me with S. 1378, as well. They're both attacking the foundations of our way of life.
But when he brings up the European settlement of the North American continent, he crosses a line for me.
I'm rooting for re-sovereigned Lakota Republic in the northern plains. Freedom is fostered by rival sovereignties and extinguished by conquest and consolidation. We are all Indians these days. To hell with empire.
I understand your feelings however former Rhodesians and now South Africans could make the same argument to no avail....Americas history is no different to what happened in Southern Africa.....deal with it birth rights mean nothing ....from our friends at the UN
The UN declared 1993 as The International Year for the World's Indigenous Peoples 3. The decade from 1995 to 2004 was declared as the International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples. Recognizing the continuing need for attention to indigenous peoples' needs, the decade from 2006 through 2015 has been declared the Second International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples. In light of this original and continuing interest in Indigenous Peoples, this paper will serve as an introduction to researching indigenous peoples' rights under international law.
International law has seldom considered indigenous peoples rights separately from the concerns of the general matters of international law. This paper will introduce this emerging area of legal development. At the present time, development in this area appears to be confined to the subject of international human rights law. It is anticipated by this writer and others, that this topic will of necessity develop into a discussion of the general principles of societal organization and nation building, directly addressing the legitimacy of numerous nation-states within the community of nations subject to international law.
All present international human rights documents and doctrines apply to indigenous people throughout the world. This paper will not rehearse all of these documents and the organizations which have promulgated and enforce them. It will discuss those few organizations and resources which have directly addressed the concerns of indigenous peoples.
