But my point is that liberation theology in the Black community seems to be about liberating parishioners of their money by people pretending they know more about God than everyone else. Isn't that what religion has always been mostly about?
How can you have a Black theology unless God is Black?

Do not confuse Liberation Theology with the so-called theology of prosperity. The theology of prosperity is what was invented to derail liberation theology. Thus, instaed of programs to help Africans and poor people, prosperity theology buys private jets and mansions for pimp preachers. In this regard, note that some so-called Muslims are as bad pimps as some Christians.
There are several references about being black in the Bible. For instance, in the Song of Solomon we get the verse: I am Black but beautiful... For lways keep in mind that anything refrring to race or skin color is referring to a created being. In other words, we were created as beautiful Black people. But, no pne has ever seen the Creator Supreme, Most Merciful, Most Gracious. Therefore, it is a major sin to attribute a skin color to GOD. GOD cannot be conceived of in such vulger terms. His Brillaince is more than any man can even image, much less see.
