Ah, shucks, those prophets say the darndest things!

"I would not want you to believe that we bear any animosity towards the Negro. Darkies are wonderful people, and they have their place in the church."

Re: Ah, shucks, those prophets say the darndest things!

I remember reading that in Look or Life when I was a kid. It was one of my first WTF moments.

"Darkies" and those Lamanites too....

I knew a few Native Americans growing up and I distinctly remember thinking of them as Lamanites. This was in the 80's. I thought "How terrible that their ancestors led them astray. How kind of the church to offer them a path to heaven." Man I was a dumbass.
