I found a blog that details very well what is the problem with Afrocentric Theology and the teachings of people like Jeramiah Write, Barracks Pastor for 20 years; and James Cone, the writter who’s books are the source of the Trinity United teachings and Afrocentric Theology.
This is a great (fairy short) blog entry that details it very well: (the Dancing from Genesis Blog)

Black Jesus Afrocentric Theology Jeremiah Wright Mentors Teachers Black Nationalism James Cone Dwight Hopkins Messiah Blacks Only Destroy White Enemy Obama Unfit for Presidency Black NationalismNo doubt, when Barack Obama was at Harvard law school, studying the writings of his future pastor Jeremiah Wright, he also studied the works of black liberation theologists James Cone and Dwight Hopkins, who were (and still are) the inspiration for Wright’s theology, the message Obama has heard for over 20 years, sitting in the pew of Wright’s church in Chicago.
When Wright was interviewed by Sean Hannity (a year ago) about his theology, all Wright would say to tough questioning about it was ”have you read James Cone, do you know what James Cone says?” On and on, it was basically his only response, acting as if Sean is illiterate if he hasn’t read the works of James Cone, who now works at Union Theological Seminary, who says that Jesus was black when he was on earth 2,000 years ago, the same opinion as Dwight Hopkins, who now works at the University of Chicago school of divinity.
They say that black Jesus empowers blacks to “destroy the white enemy,” some of the material which Wright was taunting Hannity to familiarize himself with, so here we have Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s close friend, confidante, and inspiration, inciting blacks to destroy the white enemy with the help of their god, according to the teachings of Cone and Hopkins, surely endorsed by Louis Farrakhan, a good buddy of Wright’s.
So is Obama really fit to be president of the U.S., considering that his savior helps only black people to destroy the white enemy? And if Obama really doesn’t believe that stuff, then why did he sit in the pew listening to Wright for 20 years, and why did Obama study Wright, Hopkins, and Cone, during his law school days? And why did he support Raila Odinga of Kenya recently, who promised Sharia Law to his muslim backers for Kenya if elected?
