Juliann & Scott Gordon's "blacklds.org"

I don't even think it's about scoring points against the antis. I think it's about covering up the ugly one-piece garment that is the church's stance on blacks. You know, that old, outdated thing with the big slit in the back so you can crap with ease...

What do you make of this passage, from the site's introduction:

There is a lot of folklore and misinformation about black members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Black Mormons not only have to deal with their own families and their own salvation, but they also have to deal with these myths that continue to be spread about blacks in the LDS church. Some of these myths include the idea that blacks are not welcome in the LDS church, or that the LDS church teaches that blacks are somehow less valiant than their white brothers and sisters.These myths are partly spread and maintained by some who belong to anti-cult ministries whose purpose is to tear down the beliefs of the LDS Church, and to prevent people from joining the LDS church. Ironically, while they shout racism, some of these anti-cult, or anti-Mormon ministries are all-white organizations.

(emphasis added)

Doesn't this kind of seem beside the point? I.e., that the folks behind this site are concerning themselves with things other than the primary issue?

All-white organizations? I don't really believe there is any such thing...I think that really, it's all cover up on the part of the church now. What all-white organizations are they talking about? Even the RCC isn't an all-white organization...

At some point they are going to realize that websites like this are easy to see through and do more damage than good.

Or maybe they won't.

Thank God I wasn't at work when I read that, because I would have awoken all the sleeping drones in the office with my howling...

True. Maybe they'll rebrand it. *fingers crossed*
