So far as I know, while the Mormon church has officially announced that blacks are now welcome in their church, I do not believe that they have renounced the teaching of their early leaders that black skin is a result of God’s curse on blacks. (PM, has that been renounced?)It would appear that the "official" response is to simply pretend that it was never the "official" policy of the LDS Church in the first place.
Since it was never the "official" policy of the Church they can get away without apologizing for it or condemning the teachings that led to it.
Pretty slick, huh?

I always wondered about that. Wasn’t there a change to the BoM over this? They changed a line from “white” to “fair” or something.

Are you attributing this "slick" behavior to anyone in particular by virture of them belonging to the Mormon faith?
