The Lamanites are described as marked by God with a darker skin color to identify their state of wickedness.

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are...

LDS "scriptures" frequently contain ideas that dark skin of Native Americans, Hispanics and people of African descent is a curse from God due to moral inferiority & spiritual unrighteousness. These still carry full revelational weight (so LDS can't just "back out" of these as yesteryear "doctrines"): See Book of Moses 7:8,22; Alma 3:6,9; 2 Nephi 5:21-22; and Mormon 5:15.
