Great Sermon.

[@mcintosh-jf5et]

Tnank- you Mr.Cone for your awesome message regarding lynching, racism, the white church and wider society. Rest in peace for ever.

[@rickmonty128]

Rest In Peace Dr. Cone. I often wandered myself why the church, and theologians were silent during the civil rights movement, angered about it as well, being a minority .And also why black folk stuck it out with Christianity. Dr. Cone really put the ladder question to ease for me, he will be missed. A true soldier of Christ. Dr.MLK as well,Dr.Dyson, Dr West. Great black prophetic voices.

A true soldier of humanity! I assure you his great works have touched the lives of many non-Christian and indeed non-religious people. That is what makes Cone so amazing, his theology must be taken seriously, whether you believe in his God or not. MLK and West both fall into the same category in my mind

[@Rev_Antoine]

He was an unmatched theologian. He helped me see Christianity through the lens of black struggle, oppression, and being delivered and set free by Jesus Christ himself.

This message should be heard by all! People have forgotten the pain Black people had to endure. Life hadn't been no crystal stair for us! We are survivors and we shall live on and be a great ppl!!

Yahusha Hamashiach was hung on a tree though not nailed to a cross.

You cant write for all those ppl unless you call them to repent from their sins and turn to Jesus

[@lillianlahiri2047]

Love this: "I got tenure.& this "Ain't no need of having it if you win't gonna use it!" But be careful. You gotta be ready for reaction.

[@5kids1goldfish]

And these days the tenure status of our Black professors is at risk... Universities don't seem as willing to grant it, and as with Dr. West it can be lost/denied!

"Black people discovered the Bible, by way of the cross, the lynching tree."
