Xodus Musings: Reflections on Womanist Tar Baby Theology

Abstract

“As heretical as it may seem, those who experience the boot of fierce power on their throats do not envision Jesus as anything but full of righteous indignation for the injustice visited them in the name of Jesus. So, the historical Nat Turner and all of his psycho-symbolic ancestors still living inside of black men look to Jesus as the Eschatological One, coming to set things aright. Since Martin Luther King and Malcom X could not change the destructive, oppressive ways of the United States, Jesus will.”
