Obama’s Afro-Centric Church: A Non-Negotiable Commitment to Africa


This is follow-up to a must-read article, Obama’s Marxist Liberation Theology Church




I don’t know about you, but I want to elect a president who has a non-negotiable commitment to the United States – not to Africa. I want to elect a president who will remain true to America – not to Africa! I’m very uncomfortable with a candidate who says that he wants to represent all Americans regardless of race but who worships in a church that would make all Anglo’s and most Latino’s very uncomfortable, if not downright frightened for their lives. Anyone who has ever studied Black Liberation Theology understands the truth of what I’ve just written.


Here’s just a little taste of Black Liberation Theology from James H. Cone, one of the leading figures of Black Liberation Theology.


To be a disciple of the black Christ is to become black with him. Looting, burning, or the destruction of white property are not primary concerns. Such matters can only be decided by the oppressed themselves who are seeking to develop their images of the black Christ. . .


While the MSM has given Romney a grilling on his Mormon church affiliation, a church founded on American soil by the way, the MSM has given Obama a pass on his Afro-centered church membership. No one even questions his membership, but perhaps we should?

Let’s just take a little visit to Obama’s church, Trinity United Church of Christ

The first thing you see upon entering the gates is a big map of Africa.

Now click on About US

“We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community."


The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:
1. A congregation committed to ADORATION.
2. A congregation preaching SALVATION.
3. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
4. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
5. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
6. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
7. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
8. A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
9. A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
10. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

Now take a visit to the church Akiba Bookstore

By the way, the name Akiba, derived from Swahili, has dual meanings. When used as a noun, Akiba means "something in store" and as a verb is defined as "to save or lay aside."

Unless we wake up and demand some real answers from Barack Hussein Obama about his church affiliation, I’m sure we will discover quite a bit of Obama’s surprising “Akiba”!!! We must ask ourselves if Obama is saving and laying aside most of his true intentions, and then we should seriously ponder what might be in store for us all!
