After 200 Years, The Church Finally Gets Its First African American Apostle

[Shulem]

His call to the apostleship is supposedly proof that Latter-day Saints are white supremacists.

Read the Bradley thread and you'll see all the proof (DOCUMENTATION) you need to demonstrate Mormon white supremacy.

There is no supposedly about it.

and spent most of his childhood in Scottsdale, Arizona, as a religious minority. (He knows what it feels like to be a minority.)

This is laughable. Which story will he go with?
Arizona is currently about 70% christian, so did he fit right in or was he a non-christian minority?

he was in a minority of 70%. Priceless.

Jana Riess has made some interesting observations in an article about Gilbert's appointment...

Gilbert has leapfrogged over much of that. He is the youngest apostle to be appointed since David A. Bednar, who was only 52 when he was appointed in 2004.
Because of the LDS leadership’s practice of keeping apostles and prophets in service until death instead of retiring them to emeritus status at age 70, like members of the Seventy, both Bednar and Gilbert have an excellent chance of becoming the church’s president someday and shaping its trajectory for decades to come.

This could also be seen as a strengthening of Oaks' power base within the Q15, he's unlikely to be an ally of Uchtdorf's more moderate viewpoints.

If it weren’t a white supremacist set up, what would it otherwise look like?

Just kidding. Dallas Oaks just appointed another ultra-conservative white dude:

Ah yesss!!! Reading through this thread it's all the typical progressive white men and Marcus the Carcass, coming here to discuss Mormonism to hate on white men, something progressives love to do because they have been brainwashed into believing white men have caused all the world problems and if they could just get white men out of any position of power, the world would be better for it! Meaning, progressives like the one commenting on this thread, are the biggest racist the world has ever had to endure and it's not even close!!

You see, since Elder Clark is white, according to the woke progressives, especially the ones here on this board, his opinions aren't worth much, his skin color tells them everything they need to know about his opinions. That's pure racism and they enjoy being racist as long as it's against white people like Clark! Because he's white they feel justified in being racist against him!

So basically this thread is a bunch of old white men being racist against a white man for being put in a position of authority in a religion. They despise their skin color, so they feel justified in speaking ill against Clark because he's white! The self loathing and self hatred on this thread is laughable, and sad at the same time.

I am so happy when I exited Mormonism I wasn't swept up in the religion of progressivism like so many of the exmormons that post to this board. It's sad to watch, it really is!

Now let's understand what's going on in this thread one more time so everyone reading this truly understands! A white man was just put in a position of authority in the Mormon church, and the white men on this board are upset because of the guys skin color. Yes, we who operate through the lens of common sense understand that is racist! But in the religion of progressivism, it's ok to to be racist against white people, just like it was was racist against black people if you were Mormon before 1978, and most of the white men commenting on this thread were Mormon before 1978, so they have been racist most of their lives, before 1978 they were racist towards black people, now that they are progressives, they are racist against white people.

For everyone reading this, you are welcome!! I just broke down exactly what's going on in this thread.

For anyone who doesn't believe the progressives on this thread aren't racist when they are discussing Clark, let's change the white in the opening post above, to black, then ask ourselves if that would be racist?

Another way of looking at it would be, what if MG2.0 started a thread and the opening post said, "Mayor Mamdani just appointed another ultra-progressive black dude:" Yeah!! Everyone reading this knows for an absolute fact, that the idiot Everyone Wang Chung would be the first one on the MG2.0 thread to comment that MG2.0 is a racist for bringing the persons skin color into the equation, Everyone knows that is exactly how that situation would go, followed by DrCamnPP, Marcus the Carcass, Can'tpakes, Captain Progressive a.k.a. Res Ipsa, along with all the other progressives on the board chiming in to call MG2.0 a racist for putting the word BLACK in his opening post.

But since the vast majority of people that post here are hard-core members of the progressive religion, a religion that hates white skin in the year 2026 as much as Mormonism hated black skin before 1978, they are perfectly ok with Everybody Wang Chung being racist because he's being racist against Elder Clark who is white.

Does anyone know what article of faith in the progressive religion it is that states it's ok to be racist towards white people?

Won’t someone please think of the plight of the downtrodden rich white elites.

Yes, one can remember how back in the 50s people were jealous of all the negros because they could love themselves while whites could not.

Yes, one can remember how back in the 50s people were jealous of all the negros because they had the property, wealthy and jobs edging poor white folks out of opportunity resulting in racist feelings.
