The article below discusses Black Liberation theology and the some possible reasons for Obama's joining Reverend Wright's church. But to begin with, it concisely defines what Black Liberation theology is:

American Thinker: Obama's Religious Ruse: The Cult of the Marxist Messiah

Wright's own mentor James Cone, the founder of this Marxist religion of racial hatred, defined its core premise:

Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. . . . Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.[3]

This year Wright defended what he has preached for decades: "I do not in any way disagree with Dr. Cone."[4]

At Trinity, that Marxist and racist core supplants Jesus Christ, the starting point and center of the Christian faith. In the apostolic gospel a person's race is irrelevant, for all believers are one in their relationship to the risen Christ, transcending the ethnic distinctions of this age such as Jew and Gentile.[5] Just as Nazis replaced Jesus the Jew with an Aryan Galilean, Wright's "Jesus" is the black man perpetually suffering injustice from whites, in a "theology" defined by flesh. In his final sermon at Trinity, Wright even likened his "Jesus" to Obama:[6]

Wright isn't an example of a black preacher who from time to time gets carried away. Based on the information above, he's not even what most would recognized as a Christian, just as Muslims would have a hard time recognizing Farrakhan as one of their own.
