You obviously haven't read the BoM. The BoM is reverse racist if anything. In the end the Lamanites (darker skin) kill all the Nehpites (Honkies) because they are more righteous and blessed of God. IOW, the moral of the story is not based on skin color but how righteous they are.
Interesting that you ar taking the liberal race baiting apporach to try to impugn the LDS church.
Besides you are presenting a litmus test that the Bible can't pass. Black in the Bible is used to denote sin and darkness as well.
Black is primarily associated with the negative aspects of human experience - including death, disease, famine, and sorrow - all of which are the results of sin. Direct Meaning: sin - Job 6:15-16, disease - Job 30:30, famine - Lamentations 4:8; 5:10, Revelation 6:5-6, death - Jude 1:12-13, sorrow - Jeremiah 8:21 (KJV)
While White is a color of purity and righteousness. It is also used to describe things in nature. purity / refinement / unblemished / righteousness / heavenly - Psalm 51:7, Ecclesiastes 9:8, Daniel 7:9; 11:35; 12:10, Matthew 17:2, Mark 9:3, Luke 9:29, John 20:12, Acts 1:10, Revelation 3:4-5;18; 4:4; 6:11; 7:9;13-14

There are many liberal sources which try to impugn the bible with the same arguments you are using.

Oh, Nana...now YOU are being called a liberal too....Hmmmm...there must have been a memo from SLC. Anyone disputing mormon claims is/must be a (gasp!) liberal!!!
OR...was it actually "Any WOMAN disputing the power and authority of the "priesthood" is, by definition a "liberal" or "feminist".
