Whether the American system is beyond redemption we will have to wait and see. But we can be certain that black patience has run out, and unless whit… - James H. Cone

A God minus wrath seems to be a God who is basically not against anything.

The black theologian must reject any conception of God which stifles black self-determination by picturing God as a God of all peoples. Either God is identified with the oppressed to the point that their experience becomes God's experience, or God is a God of racism. ... The blackness of God means that God has made the oppressed condition God's own condition. This is the essence of the Biblical revelation. By electing Israelite slaves as the people of God and by becoming the Oppressed One in Jesus Christ, the human race is made to understand that God is known where human beings experience humiliation and suffering...Liberation is not an afterthought, but the very essence of divine activity.

Black Power seeks not understanding but conflict; addresses blacks and not whites; seeks to develop black support, but not white good will.
