Very inspiring. Thanks for posting that, PP. (The "token black" did a great job.)

That was fantastic Porter, thank you for sharing that.
I think its this thursday on the BYU channel that there is a showing of the history of the church in Africa. I have it set to record on my DVR. Its called Pioneers of Africa, it comes on at 7:00 pm and again at 10:00.

Yep, he spouted off everything the white leaders have been saying for years. Very original and from his heart.Ray A wrote:Polygamy Porter wrote:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnXfYIy5FR4

I know, I saw the strings attached to his back, the script he was reading from, the utter lack of sincerity, and no doubt there were crocodile tears in the bishop's office.

I don't see why the 'token black' should be demeaned by that term. That seems borderline-racist to say he can't hold that opinion on his own independently because of his race.

I rather doubt Mr. Freeman would appreciate being called the token black.
Even though I view the ending of the ban as being 150 years overdue, it is still a cause for celebration. (by the way, he was misidentified in this clip as being the first black Priesthood holder - that distinction goes to Elijah Abel in March 1836).

I am sure he would feel deeply insulted. Porter does not seem to realise how offensive his term "token black" is. As if he can't do his own thinking, but is just a "puppet on a string". A "brainwashed voice for the Morg".
