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.
