I have never heard that blacks were descended from Cain and I grew up in the Baptist church. Do Mormons believe that?

Many of the rank and file LDS do believe it still (particularly in Utah), although it has been downplayed some since the 1978 revelation on allowing blacks the Priesthood.

However, I was taught that while I was at BYU in the early 1990’s, and still know several LDS who believe it.
