It is too late for Barack Obama to quit his racist church

If Senator Barack Obama was solely a white politician and just now we learned he had attended a church for two decades founded on the principle of ‘white theology’ calling for “the destruction of the black enemy,” his run for the presidency would be over and calls for his resignation from the Senate would be heard from nearly every American. Yet he is not solely white.

From this morning’s Washington Times:

The church where Sen. Barack Obama has worshipped for two decades publicly declares that its ministry is founded on a 1960s book that espouses “the destruction of the white enemy.” Trinity United Church of Christ’s Web site says its teachings are based on the black liberation theology of James H. Cone and his 1969 book “Black Theology and Black Power.” “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,” Mr. Cone wrote in the book. Mr. Cone, a professor at the Union Theological Seminary in New York, added that “black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy.”
