I cant tell you how many people ( white men ) FREAKED out when ol Spencer "I need to change shit fast, before we catch anymore public heat about being outright racists" Kimball had his "vision and revelation " ( as if ) and allowed those of African descent to hold the priesthood. In total , in our branch alone, 6 families outright quit the church over it. ( racist much?) and another 11 stopped paying tithe for a period of 6 months.- Cause thats the kind of all inclusive, unconditional love, and acceptance you want young kids to see their parents engaging in. . . . right?

I have a mormon relative in Utah who commonly refers to all blacks as lazy, slow, unintelligent and in the same breath swears not to be racist. I don't blame their particular lack of vision wholly on the church but I have run into dozens of similar attitudes in the church over 50+ years as a member. LDS culture is not formed in a vacuum. I have participated in priesthood classes where the "black race" was discussed and related church actions defended (before I walked away). Remember also that it was taught that ALL blessings you are born with in this life were a direct result of faithfulness in the pre-existence. So if you were born poor (less faithful), born outside the church?, (less faithful), born outside the US? (less faithful), born with dark skin? (well........enough said). Glad to see the doctrine go (if it fully does), but without a recognition of error and asking for forgiveness, the institution continues to refuse to follow the very rules it insists its members follow for correction.

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I'd like to say there's a lot of misconceptions in his logic. First off, the curse was not a skin of blackness. The curse was being cut off spiritually from the Lord, ie, no longer receive any connection via the holy ghost. We believe that any person in the world is entitled to receive revelation from God when appropriate, regardless of ethnicity or religion. The curse was cutting off revelation to them. The reason for the cursing was because they committed some very horrible actions, and rebelled against God. The mark of the curse was the skin of blackness. This was to let the Nephites know to not marry into their culture of anti-Christian beliefs. In the same way that we encourage people to marry in the church so your children are raised up in the faith without their parents arguing about religious beliefs, the same instruction was given to the Nephites. The dark-skinned Lamanites were described as a filthy people. I have no doubt that there were prejudices and biases by the authors of the Book of Mormon. The writers themselves acknowledged their faults and weaknesses in their carnal nature. And when Mormon wrote that, I believe he did not like dark-skinned people. Maybe it had something to do with their culture or atheistic beliefs. He says the Lamanites were mostly naked, were lazy, and ate raw meat, committed a lot of murders and theft, and by the Nephite civilizations' standard, were uncivilized. Perhaps that was what he meant by a "filthy and loathsome people". But let's just assume now that he was specifically referring to their skin color. Does this mean what the Book of Mormon stands for is racist? I think it's a manifestation of the authors' imperfections. Many were racist then, regardless of culture and religion. In fact, I think throughout most of history until recently, the world was racist. But it does not mean the message is about racism. It definitely sounds hurtful and offensive. But that is not the intention. As for blacks and the priesthood. I'm not aware of any doctrinal reason why that happened. Although what the church stands for collectively is not about racism, I believe there were a lot of racist church members, and probably church leaders too. But you can't take today's perspective and judge history back then. If you ask any historian, that is a completely inappropriate approach to study history. You have to take it into their context. You can't say every person in the 1600s were pedophiles and creepers because they got married at age 12-16 (not sure of the actual facts but you get the idea). You have to realize life expectancy was much shorter, and the concept of teenagers did not exist. So that was the norm. You can't say people were totally cruel for stoning those that commit adultery in Jerusalem, or that they were heartless for killing those that violated the Sabbath day. By today's standards, it's atrocious. But that was how things were done in their culture and time. You can't fairly judge members of the church as racist back in an era where racism was virtually everywhere, and condemn the organization today. Every single religion of the time was full of people that were racist. It is because that was a cultural thing. It does not justify their actions, but because that's how society was, that's how members of the LDS faith were. No one ever said we were perfect... or the church members before. There are racist LDS people back then as well as today, just like in any organization. Their actions do not speak for what the principals of our church teach. There are people that claim some ridiculous non-doctrinal reason why blacks were treated that way. But their opinions are not a representation of the church. Some believers of our faith have lots of opinions that are not right, and they believe it is doctrine. We try our best to correct these people. They are fallible human beings, imperfect people trying to become better, and maybe they're failing at certain aspects. But their long term goal is to become better. I hope people don't judge the church as a whole by the misconceptions perceived by members of our faith.

A few things. Racism is a modern construct that helped justify the slave trade, it hasn't been around since the beginning of time; it's about 400 years old. The LDS church has admitted their priesthood ban was due to the racism of the time, which also influenced the LDS church and its decisions (see Gospel Doctrine Essays). It's not historical revisionism to say the LDS Church should have been held to a higher standard, when the church claims to have modern revelation and insight into God's will. Many believe, not incorrectly, that such revelation/insight should provide better direction than the popular mores of the time. Example: Just because people were racists didn't mean the church had to co-opt that belief; where was the revelation? And regarding the Book of Mormon, as there is no archaeological or biological evidence supporting any of the Book of Mormons truth claims, such as descendants of Jewish DNA, swords, horses, elephants, etc. it's advisable to not cite the BoM as a source. I get that you were providing context towards LDS beliefs, but I will say the Book of Mormon comes off just as fictional as George R.R. Martin's "Game of Thrones." Reread what you wrote and tell me it doesn't sound a bit absurd. -A Return Missionary

Really? That’s the best you’ve got? So if the curse was not the skin of blackness like it says explicitly in the Book of Mormon “and they shall be cursed with the same cursing” [skin of blackness], why make their skin black? And is that really how you think black skin came about - God’s way of keeping his people from not being enticed by the evil people? Jesus Christ, man!!! Do you not see the racism in all of that? Would you want to debate that publicly with me? Have you read the Mormon essay from the Church on race where they finally admit their policies of denying blacks the priesthood for 150 years was nothing more than pure racism? Oh, and why will the Lamanites become a white and delightsome people once they become good again. Are you really so brainwashed as to not be able to see all of this?

To say this is a flaw is a gross misestimation of what it means. If you claim this work and faith is the word of a diety and you find a significant portion to be not just false but evil in intention, the whole work and faith has to be questioned. To do otherwise is a gross disservice to your fellow human beings. A portion of the population is operating and interacting with the world based upon lies. How can anyone in good conscience not take assessment of their beliefs especially when the welfare of others is at hand. After all, if there is any truth to life for sentient beings, its how we treat others. LDS, you are not alone. Every other theism has the same problem. Ignoring the Everest size flaws in all religions, other faiths like the RCC are willing to sacrice millions of children to traumatic abuse, mental illness and death on the altar of the church. Religions worldwide are given special and unwarrented trust with children and they all pay it back with evil deeds. If you live in a house and the second floor is caving into the first floor due to wood rot, would you just pretend everything is fine because you are mentally and emotionally invested in the house or would you get everyone out and assess whats going on? Please be responsible. Look past your nose and see what affects uncritical faith has on others.

@@onecardshort2934 ... My definition isn't "somewhat social darwinist/eugenicist" at all, so I'm not sure what you mean by that. And it's totally applicable to human rights, since it's the most common definition of racism. Look it up in the oxford dictionary, or the merriam webster, or the cambridge dictionary, you'll find very similar definitions to mine. The only big difference you'll find is that in the definitions proposed by these dictionaries (at least the first definitions), racism is self oriented (a racist favors his own race), whereas mine is applicable from any standpoint (ex : a person from race A can believe race B is superior, and there is no good reason why this situation shouldn't be thought of as less racist than when a person from race A believes race B is inferior). And something I forgot, and that you won't fine in these dictionaries either, is that it's not only the belief in races and a hierarchy of races, it's also actions derived from this belief. So one doesn't need to preach the superiority of one or multiple race over one or multiple other races, if one acts discriminately towards some races (that he perceives as such, it can be things outsiders wouldn't perceive as races), and favors some over others (or reciprocally, treats some races worst than others), then this person is or acts in a racist manner, wether or no he is conscious of his belief, or what is actions amount to. Or at the very least, it's racialism (which is technically speaking not racism, it's just a very close idea). Of course, that only applies when there is no good justification for treating some races better or worst than others (for example : if I have a medicine that doesn't work on some races, that I developed without knowing that it wouldn't be compatible with their biology, then I'm not racist if I deliver said medicine only to those races that can take the medicine).

*actual analysis not mormon apologism incoming* To say this is to be unfamiliar with either mysticism or the LDS faith as a whole. After such a church has taken extensive efforts to change their policy in these regards, it is grossly irresponsible to incriminate the body as a whole for it is where they stand currently that one should gaze upon them. I grew up Mormon and, though I have long mourned the language used and seen firsthand how it can translate unfortunately into racism, I have long understood the deeper meanings of the language you incriminate. Firstly, before I get into mysticism, the doctrinal aspects of the Mormon faith refute your propositions--though it takes someone personally disposed away from prejudice and toward naturalism which can be admittedly a problematic thing in religious circles; the reason the age of baptism in their faith is that of eight years old is because of what they call the 'age of accountability', stating that before such an age one is more or less at the mercy of environmental and biological factors for development and growth--this implies a scientific admission of the fact that we do not choose how or wherein we are born which so covers then the aspect skin color, place of origin etc. as attributes wherein we are not resppnsible nor blamed for. Growing up, outside of viewing (a disposition unavoidable in my mind to come upon by the poetic nature of christian/biblical text anyways) scripture as oft leaning towards mystical poeticism, by that simple principle of the faith I knew with a certainty that the deep and gross racism you outline was truly something that had no place in the church. That is a naturalist principle--having no control over the ciecumstances into which you are born--which I do believe we can have commom ground upon and I have long respected the lds faith for such a recognition. To now turn to mysticism: to first recognize thay skin color is a wholly blameless attribute, the concept of deity causing "blackness" of skin at years later in maturity or life where outside of particular medical conditions such an instantaneous change is obviouslly impossible and thereby logically an instance of poeticism rather than scriptural literalism, or more so mysticism: a place where colors and objects are used in an abstract sense to convey a separate truth. The history of white and black being used as abstraction to imply dichotomy of a sort long predates probably even the old testament, and certainly is not a singular a phenomena among the history of christianity etc. Multiple mystic traditions hold certain values and qualities to the nature of colors, the dichotomy in chess is that of mover and moved upon, taoism explores presence and absence or void and order--therefore the possibilities for interpretation extend far beyond the idea of "white supremacy". Even in regard to the terminology of "skin", there is not much mystery to it to me of being something to do with the nature of good, justice, etc (what is naturally implied in the nature of the will of Godl getting as they say 'under someone's skin', as in if my brother threw a pie at my girlfriend hypothetically and the next day we were watching a comedy show where someone got hit with a pie and I exclaimed next to him "the dude who threw that is so mean!", the context of the situation is something that coule potentially get "under the skin" of my brother, who may reflect upon his own past ie the "skin" of his existence on the whole encompassing not only present situations but a relation to where the body has been and acted. On the whole, I respect the Mormon faith far beyond the rest of Christian tradition. For example they don't view the sacrament as partaking and covenanting unto the "blood of Christ" but the water, unlike the Catholic church. The mystical implications therein are disturbing, that say to err from strictural covenants religiously means blood in recompense instead of water, such makes one question their ideals in congruence to Christ's teachings of forgiveness. I suppose Protestantism caught onto this injustice in history and did what they could apart from it, but now I'm getting beside the point.

Your lack of clarity and brevity (the soul of wit) make it difficult to understand what you're saying. But if you think Mormonism's obsession with black skin is anything but white supremacy and racism - after Mormonism has said that there was never any theological justification for any of it, you're simply stupid. You can talk of poetry and mysticism. But Blacks weren't denied the priesthood poetically or mystically. They were denied in reality - by white supremacists/racist sacks of shit. Nothing more clearly demonstrates that the religion has nothing to do with, and no connection to, any kind of transcendent Being. But all the other religions demonstrate the same.
