That was not the only reason allon. The "Missouri War" was kicked off by Sidney Rigdon's 1838 "Salt Speech" in which he declared a "war of extermination,". Smith later made this speech into a pamphlet. Then you had the Danite band raiding the local countryside.
Many Many evangelical churches still have segregated congregations.
And just 3% of Mormons are African-American. Only one black serves in the top 105 leadership positions of the mormon church today. Yet the mormon church has refused to repent of its racist theology and history - a point you seem to want to avoid.
If Baptists want to take this issue on, they had better be prepared to do so.
Fine, at least they have officially repented of their sinful past. Where is the same from the mormon church? (crickets)
Actually, it’s 5 percent, about 500,000 blacks worldwide who are Mormons.

Unlike Baptists, Blacks have been Mormons since it’s founding, it was just a priesthood issue in till 78.
Jesus only chose men, and only from one tribe. Does that make his sexist and racist?
This is not a road taken lightly. Careful where you all step.
