The Reverend Warnock, Reverend Wright and Reverend Cone

 

The Reverend Warnock (in a runoff for the US Senate in Georgia) and currently the Senior Pastor for MLK’s Ebenezer Baptist Church has cited several influencers for his life and philosophy.

Two are the Reverend Jeremiah Wright (President Obama’s Minister) and Reverend James Hal Cone (Warnock’s academic adviser at Union Theological Seminary)

Reverend Wright is infamous for his sermon condemning America (“not ‘God bless America,’ God damn America!).

The Reverend Cone from his book “A Black Theology of Liberation.”:

“There will be no peace in America until white people begin to hate their whiteness, asking from the depths of their being: ‘How can we become black?'

“We have reached our limit of tolerance, and if it means death with dignity, or life with humiliation, we choose the former. And if that is the choice, we will take out some honkies with us.”

The Reverend Warnock said this of Cone in his 2018 eulogy for the preacher: “How blessed we are that someone of the spiritual magnitude and power and commitment of Dr. James Hal Cone passed our way

Since the Reverend Warnock claims as a spiritual mentor a Pastor who advocates a race war, can we ascribe the same beliefs to him as well.

Fifty Eight years after Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” speech, Reverend Warnock seems to be, spiritually, 180 Degrees from that philosophy.
