Has somebody done a study on to what lengths a person will go to try to eliminate his/her cog diss?
So maybe Nephi got it wrong about skin of blackness???

Two problems I have with the whole concept are:
1. Curses
2. Inherited Curses

I have it on good authority that the sealed portion of the Golden Plates begins as follows:
The Book of Laman, 2:1-2, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, white and delightsome is nice but once you go black you don’t go back."

What if these lines were changed:
20 Wherefore, the word of the Lord was fulfilled which he spake unto me, saying that: Inasmuch as they are inscrutable with their pigtails and thing for fried rice, they shall be made Asiatic in my presence.
21 And he had caused the DNA to become Asiatic. For behold, they had perfected the cuisine of the Hunan and Schezuan provinces,
22 And thus saith the Lord God: I will send them to somewhere. Perhaps in Mexico. Perhaps in the Great Lakes region.
23 And he said that the seed of him that amixeth with their seed shall produce really pretty girls and increased math scores on the SAT. And the Lord spake it, and it was done.
Would it really affect the story of Jesus visiting the Americas?

No, it wouldn’t affect it much at all.
25 And those whose DNA didst become Asiatic didst go forth and establish a chain of bargain rate tool stores, yea even Harbor Freight Tools, purveyors of Asian-manufactured tools of very curious workmanship.
26 And verily, verily didst the Lord say unto them, Hear me O Israel! Avoidest thou the exceedingly crappy table saws that are on sale at Harbor Freight Tools, but the drill presses and the carbide bits are actually pretty good…

Sorry to cover up a couple of great posts with a lessor one guys....anyway.
Hmm... Which seems more likely: God gets pissed (mad) and curses an entire race - or - J. Smith gets pissed (drunk) and writes into his book why the natives of the Americas surely must be lessor humans.
