James Cone - Strange Fruit: The Cross and the Lynching Tree

I've posted these videos before but not for a long time and what they say is so important that they should be heard many times.

James Cone and Bill Moyers discussing the lecture posted above.

The lecture and the discussion happened before the election of Barack Obama, eight years ago.  It is especially meaningful now, after the more than eight years of Republican-racist campaigning against Barack Obama, the diminution of his presidency by Republicans using racism to mobilize racists and in the epidemic of police shootings and killings of black people that has given rise to Black Lives Matter.
