I wonder how many people care about ANY statement by ANY religious leader back in those days when discrimination happened as a matter of course. It certainly wasn't limited to LDS. Perhaps you should ask Gladys Knight, she may enlighten you on what that '78 revelation was all about.
“I wonder how many people care about ANY statement by ANY religious leader back in those days when discrimination happened as a matter of course.”
Come now, the abolitionist movement was a Christian religious movement (as was civil rights) extending back three hundred years. That apparently was a revolution ignored by our racist Mormon friends until 1978.
Try telling Al Sharkton and Jesse Jackson that. I guess you don't stay current with the world. Any statement by ANY leader OTHER than a democrat will guarantee a major hearing in the MSM. And Don Imus wasn't even a leader.
