The bible teaches us to love all mankind but as I recall, that's not exactly how the mostly protestant south U.S. interpreted it.

Unlike the BoM which is quite explicit in it's treatment of BLACKS.

It is an albatross around the neck of MORMONism that will NEVER go away.

oh sure it will...remember, that church is only about 150 years old. Don't you think that the Catholic church (christianity) made a few changes in its first few hundred years????of course it did. While I certainly do not agree with the teachings of the Mormon religion, I can understand how they might alter their views as they grow more mature.

remember that before Brown VS board of education, separate but equal was the policy in the US education system. Remember Orville Faubus and George Wallace (both Democrats and "christian") tried to keep blacks out of schools in Alabama and Arkansas....they relented, as did the Mormons, and now the black kids can go to school in their states....isn't that wonderful??
