Question for Don Bradley

[Shulem]

As demonstrated earlier, skin color was of upmost importance to the Mormons and the whiter the skin the better!

Remember, according to Mormon principles:

White Skin = Pure Skin

Nonetheless, white Mormons learned to appreciate and love people regardless of the color of their skin while welcoming them into God's colorful flock of sheep. Mormons were captivated about skin color!

To you who wonder, I have just greeted and welcomed our people from Latin America. My Spanish may not have been such as they could understand, but you are in no position to challenge my interpretation of it.

I love these, my brothers and sisters. To me they are white and delightsome. And of course I love you, too.

Pursuant to assignment from the First Presidency of the Church, I have for the past two years been supervising the Latin American missions. It may not, therefore, be wholly inappropriate for me to say something about the Lamanites, many of whom live in these missions.

"And then shall they rejoice; for they shall know that it is a blessing unto them from the hand of God; and their scales of darkness shall begin to fall from their eyes; and many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a white and delightsome people." (2 Nephi 30:4-6.)

<snip>

It is true that they are poor; they are downtrodden; they are in large part uneducated. In these and many other respects they still suffer under the curse brought upon them by their apostasy from the gospel once so richly enjoyed and strictly obeyed by their fathers.

AND, one of those other respects has to do with dark skin which was a curse put upon them by God.

U gotta love it.

Utah LDS hospitals use to segregate blood far into the 20th century. Also some wards segregated people by race. Mormon god seems to be an incrementally bound god which seems strange because he had no problem putting the brakes on coffee.

Yes, the Mormons were just like any other racist people of their times -- just as bad. LDS hospitals under the management of the Church maintained blood segregation -- approved by the priesthood brethren. Many a white Mormon would not dare have colored blood pumped into their veins lest they partake of the Curse of Cain™ .

Mormons are so f-ing hypocritical -- then and now.

[Shulem]

The Mormon Church was finally enlightened by dropping the Curse of Cain™ in 1978 and let blacks into the Priesthood Club®. A couple of years prior to that, Archie Bunker had an operation by which he received a blood transfusion from a black doctor who donated her blood for his survival. In the end, Archie took it all in stride and accepted the outcome with a somewhat positive outlook.
