Perhaps in Mormonism, those with a darker skin have to start slow and work their way up till their white brethren accept them being there.

Perhaps in Mormonism, those with a darker skin have to start slow and work their way up till their white brethren accept them being there.

The manmade priesthood organization headed by Brigham Young and racist cronies was bereft of the kind inspiration that transcends the world through universal love which embraces equality and inclusion.

Fakes and hypocrites:

Shame on Brigham Young!
Shame on John Taylor!
Shame on Wilford Woodruff
Shame on Lorenzo Snow
Shame on Joseph F. Smith
Shame on Heber J. Grant
Shame on George Albert Smith
Shame on David O. McKay
Shame on Joseph Fielding Smith
Shame on Harold B. Lee

Mormonism is evolving and changing with the times.

Here is one for the record book:

WIKIPEDIA — Curses of Cain and Ham and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

• Both church founder Joseph Smith, and his successor Brigham Young taught that Black people were under the curse of Ham and the curse of Cain.

• Young, while seemingly open to Black men holding the priesthood under Smith's leadership and praising of Black members of the church, later as Smith's successor used the curse as justification of barring Black people from the priesthood, banning interracial marriages, and opposing Black suffrage.

• Church president Brigham Young stated, "What is the mark? You will see it on the countenance of every African you ever did see....the Lord put a mark upon [Cain], which is the flat nose and black skin".

• The next president, Wilford Woodruff also affirmed that millions of people have Cain's mark of blackness drawing a parallel to modern Native Americans' "curse of redness".
