Ames Conant cheers to he was. He was an American escort in the Wikipedia heat he died.

By the way net 2018 at age 79, he was an American theologian best known for his advocacy for black theology and black liberation theology, so I would say that critical race theory is really built on the foundation of black liberation theology minutes pretty much almost identical is about liberating and Blacks and other broader now used critical theory take out the race per critical theory, freeing the oppressed groups from the oppressors. His James Cohen's 1969 book Black theology and Black power provided a new way to comprehensively define the distinctiveness of theology in the black church's message was that black power defined as black people asserting that humanity that white supremacy denied was the gospel in America.

Jesus came to liberate the oppressed, advocating the same thing as black power.

He argued that white American churches preach the gospel based on white supremacy antithetical to the gospel of Jesus. Cohen's work was influential from the time of the books publication in his work remains influential today and that is absolutely the case. It's very true you hear this man's name James Cohen come up over and over again. His work has been used in critique inside and outside the African-American theological community. He was the Charles Augustine's brakes, distinguished Prof. of systematic theology at Union theological seminary until his death because that's who he is, that he has been a great influence on many, and particularly now even specifically within a some of those who are within the Southern Baptist convention. Some of the professors are just want to play a soundbites year and that UFC sheer from James Cohen himself and some of the messages that he has given over time.

James Cohen talked about the aspect of what the cross of Christ actually is. Listen to the sound bite about how he reinterprets the cross of Christ again, James Cohen, father of black liberation theology, great influencer, and now it's morphed or this may be a different name for black liberation theology of critical race theory because as I said is God taken the side of the victim is a symbol of that God making ultimate identification with the powerless that the powerful in our society.

The white people if they want to become Christian give up power and become identify with the powerless. If you go to the Christian identify with powerful and also Christian at same time, that's contradiction of time now how do I know that you really identify with the flat if you identify with the victim. Only want to feel good about that. You also have to pay back that what you just don't say please forgive me now way in which yellow repentance yellow forgiveness can be yellow reception of the D. Jill repentance can be a thing is that you get back what you took and why people took a live from the
