Romney’s family and Romney himself are powerful figures in Mormonism, Romney himself avoided the draft by getting a special, Mormon awarded exemption to go to France to teach the racist doctrine of Mormonism (pre 1978), Romney was a leader and a teacher and a Priest of those teachings.
While the rest of us were watching Saturday Night Live on TV, the Mormon religion was still not allowing blacks to serve in equality to the white, Mitt Romney, blacks did not win approval for equality to Mitt Romney’s white status until 1978 in Mitt Romney’s religion, that is bound to come up as he runs against a black man.
Don’t you remember? Mitty pulled over and cried when he heard that blacks could become Mormon priests. Maybe they weren’t tears of joy and relief? ;-)
