When Mormons discriminate, they are only practicing their religion. They have that right. NOT!!

BC Space, I think you should step away from all the "race" threads for a while. The more you post, the worse it gets. Start posting in the other threads and let these ones die down.

Accept all people equally, based on their own personality characteristics and abilities. Simple.

Looks like we're finally coming to the conclusion that LDS doctrine isn't racist nor ever has been. I mean, look how ridiculous the anti Mormon arguments are.

From what I could tell, the article looks like it said less than 1/3 of the 1,000 Mormons polled believe blacks are less discriminated against than Mormons.

I would hope that those who felt that way have no real experience with discrimination faced by blacks, not the least of which has been within the LDS faith tradition.

I am going to look at the glass as over 2/3's full, with the vast majority of Mormons polled not taking so unrealistic a position.

Baby steps down the street.

All the Best!

It's lucky for you there aren't any impressionable fresh-faced believers here. You'd be destroying testimonies left and right.
