http://mormonstories.org/?p=1639It's amazing how much racism there was in the church. It didn't just stop at denying blacks the priesthood.

Oh yes. It's an interview with a mixed race member. He mentions that his mother was going to give him up for adoption, but he ended up with his grandmother because LDS Family Services wouldn't take black children.

Wow. Well, of course those precious little brown skinned babies couldn't go to the temple to be sealed to their adoptive parents.
Fail.

Well of course he would complain about the church's "negro doctrine." He's part negro. Ask any white member of the church about the "negro doctrine" and you will see that there is nothing racist about it. Only negroes think it was racist, which figures because according to Mark Peterson, they have an agenda to get our white women. This guy should stick to playing basketball for BYU and stop complaining about things that are too sacred to talk about. There is nothing racist about any of this because I think every negro should drive a cadillac.

This is a blatently racist statement. You have to be fair and mention the color of the car.

Just not the exact quotations, they tend to cast past leaders in a very bad light.

If this is the stapley article I recall reading a year ago then I do not want to open it again. There are some terrible statements made by him in that text. What an embarrassment.
