Until they get rid of their racist scriptures, their words are hypocritical and hallow.

"No man who makes disparaging remarks concerning those of another race can consider himself a true disciple of Christ. Nor can he consider himself to be in harmony with the teachings of the Church of Christ.” - Gordon B. Hinckley

“Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so. The nations of the earth have transgressed every law that God has given, they have changed the ordinances and broken every covenant made with the fathers, and they are like a hungry man that dreameth that he eateth, and he awaketh and behold he is empty.”

- Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, v. 10, p. 110

Ah, the paradox. The church has so many of them, don't they?

Joseph Fielding Smith, The Way to Perfection, pp. 101-102:

"Not only was Cain called upon to suffer, but because of his wickedness he became the father of an inferior race. A curse was placed upon him and that curse has been continued through his lineage and must do so while time endures."


Joseph Fielding Smith, Answers to Gospel Questions, Vol. 4, p. 169:

"The Latter-day Saints, so commonly called 'Mormons,' have no animosity towards the Negro. Neither have they described him as belonging to an 'inferior race.'"


Alexander B. Morrison, "No More Strangers," Sept. 2000 Ensign, p. 16:

"[R]acism is an offense against God and a tool in the devil's hands… How grateful I am that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has from its beginnings stood strongly against racism in any of its malignant manifestations."

In the interest of credibility for this site, while the church has racist teachings, it is hardly the "most white supremacist cult on the planet."

I mean, worse than the KKK?

I was always embarrassed for those teachings, and I never knew anyone who actually hated other races.

I see. So that makes their racist declarations okay?

I knew plenty of mormons who hated other "races."
And that was mostly in "liberal" Southern California.
In Utah "racial" hatred was daily gospel.

I'm sure you knew plenty of them too. You may have just never been in a situation where they showed their true colors (pun intended). Try bringing a non-white fiancee to meet your Utah mormon relatives...and watch the blatant racism ensue.

As if this site has ANY credibility whatsoever, with brainwashed Cult Morgbots.
Name another Cult that has scriptures that describe their racist God dehumanizing two entire, separate races, by turning their skin black when they sin and white when they repent.
Not even the KKK has scriptures that racist@
Not even Mein Kampf was that fucking racist! At least Hitler didnt claim he got his racist ideology straight from a racist God!

Not quite, but close:

http://www.christianitytoday.com/history/issues/issue-33/why-christians-supported-slavery.html

Not close at all.
God NEVER mentions skin color in the Bible. Mormons made up a new book to elevate 19th racist myths, used to dehumanize 2 different races to justify enslaving/killing/taking land from them, to "Divine Revelation straight from God".
There's a whole Broadway Play about Mormon racism. You may have heard of it.
Now that DNA has come along to disprove those racist myths once and for all, Mormons don't edit their blatantly racist scriptures, they issue meaningless PRess releases in response to blatantly racist hate crimes/domestic terrorist attacks.
As if that absolves them of being an institution that has helped to institutionalize the White Supremacist narrative and elevate it to "Divine Revelation".
If your scriptures describe your God as so racist he turns whole races of people black for the sins of their Fathers, not only is your God a white supremacist, you're a GD hypocrite who denies the atonement of Christ!

I disagree.

"God" never mentions anything in the bible. Humans wrote all of it. Sometimes they claimed some "god" thing said something or other, but claims aren't facts.

And many other christians in the US at the time (and before, and after) used an existing book to elevate "racist myths," used to dehumanize (more than 2) different races to justify enslaving/killing/taking land from them, calling it "divine revelation straight from god."

The only difference is using a new made-up book versus using an old made-up book.
I think that's "close."
I'll stand by that.

Skin color isn't mentioned in the Bible.
It is mentioned numerous times, throughout numerous Mormon scriptures. Like Grant Palmer says, "Mormonism was an answer to the great theological problem of the 19th Century, where did these whole civilizations of New World people come from? And why didnt God bother mentioning them in the Bible? Along comes Joseph Smith with an answer, they're wandering Jews who degenerated and were cursed with dark skin by God for being evil"
So lets exterminate them so we can take their land. Oh and just to make the racist God myth even more real, he cursed the Africans with black skin for the sane thing, their forefathers were evil.
Mormonism is built on a racist 19th C myths that got cannonized as "the Word of God" when they were just lame excuses for genocide and slavery.
There is no other religion with scriptures as racist as Mormonisms.
I stand by that.
Until you produce a non-LDS scripture that ascribes race to evil ancestors Mormonism is officially the most racist religion on the planet.
Dont know why you feel compellec to defend Mormon racism.

a lot of people think that the KKK is the foremost formally racist organization in America history

a lot of people are wrong about that

The black nationalist movements have been quite hateful.

There is no end to the amount of groups that want to spread hate to anyone that wants to listen.

BLM and ANTIFA are the most current hate groups.

KKK are still just young and dumb, and old time groomers wishing for southern Democrats of the 30s to be back in power again. The good ol days as they remember.

wow!!!
Please tell me you're in your 90's

It might be poopstone...
We know he is notorious for statements like this.

So blm and antifa aren't hate groups?

I saw the same article on Facebook posted by Fox 13 - Salt Lake City on Facebook. I saw it because one of my LDS Facebook friends had "liked" that link.

I went to look at the Facebook comments, and there are many people calling out the church on racism, from before 1978 to the racism some of the commenters said they still experienced.

The responses from some of the TBMs is priceless. One TBM's response to a poster that had mentioned the church's racist history was not to comment when he's drunk.

Check it out:

Which leader said black people exist because satan needs a representative on earth?

"And after the flood we are told that the curse that had been pronounced upon Cain was continued through Ham's wife, as he had married a wife of that seed. And why did it pass through the flood? Because it was necessary that the devil should have a representation upon the earth as well as God."
(President John Taylor, August 28, 1881, Journal of Discourses 22:304)

"When he destroyed the inhabitants of the antediluvian world, he suffered a descendant of Cain to come through the flood in order that he might be properly represented upon the earth" (President John Taylor, 1882, Journal of Discourses 23:336)

The church threw Brigham under the buss a few yeas ago with the essay. So it's ok now for them to make puff statements.

Another thing was the old church leaders didn't want the blacks banging their white women. Eugenics was a topic at the time and mixing races was frowned upon all over the states.

Remember, the whole point of a marriage license was to marry a future spouse from a different race.

What does this statement mean?

EDITED TO ADD: I Googled "why were marriage licenses created in the US?" and the answer was:

"In the mid-1800s, certain states began allowing interracial marriages or miscegenation as long as those marrying received a license from the state. ...Not long after these licenses were issued, some states began requiring all people who marry to obtain a marriage license."

I did not know this bit of American history before I posted my initial answer.

"No man who makes disparaging remarks concerning those of another race can consider himself a true disciple of Christ. Nor can he consider himself to be in harmony with the teachings of the Church of Christ.” - Gordon B. Hinckley

That disqualifies Joseph, Brigham and many other leaders. Therefore the Cojcolds is disqualified as a church.

How do they stickhandle their way around that?

Canadian 'friend',
Could you elaborate what the Cojcolds is?
And what other leaders you refer to? strange comment.

http://exmormon.org/d6/drupal/abbreviations

COJCOLDS - Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

There have been several leaders that have made racist statements besides BY.

There's a facebook account "Wife with a purpose". I disagree with her a lot - she appears to be pretty racist, she said that people can't be anti-white and still be good christians. She missed the point the church had and twisted it. but when she posted about this "statement from TSCC", so many TBMs started lecturing her on how her views are so wrong and how the church is loving and other BS. People forget the history very fast and most importantly forget that LDS church changes its view on things basically every ten years.

Things never change. Going for the Africans. Some big money there. Every penny counts to crooks. Even if it's their last penny. Teach the widow's mite. I try not to let this happen to me, but right now I am despising J Holland, Doofdorf, and that discusting human Bednar. Darkness. Evil. Con. Theft. Treachery. Deceipt. Men of no conscience. Self-serving pos's.
