You don't know jack shit about being LDS, and you just proved it beyond all doubt. Pretty sure Carne is going to back me up on that and he hates me more than my ex-wife does.
This article is about black people and the early Mormon movement. For Black people and the modern LDS church, see Black people and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Early Mormonism had a range of policies and doctrines relating to race in regard to African-descended people. References to black people, their social condition during the 19th century, and their spiritual place in Western Christianity as well as Mormon scriptures were complicated, with varying degrees and forms of discrimination against black people.
When the Mormons migrated to Missouri they encountered the pro-slavery sentiments of their neighbors. Joseph Smith, Jr. supported the laws regarding slaves and slaveholders.
Following the death of Joseph Smith, Jr., Mormon leaders beginning with Brigham Young instituted a policy of excluding most people of black African descent (regardless of actual skin color) from Priesthood ordination and from participation in temple ceremonies. These practices continued in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) until September 30, 1978, when the highest bodies of church leadership lifted the ban after stating they had received a revelation.
That higher revelation came just about the same time the NCAA threatened to desanction Brigham Young university from college sports

Bullshit. By the time it got to the states the disease had already spread to four other continents. By Heteros. The so-called patient zero was a Canadian flight attendant who was bisexual. He infected both men and women in Europe and North America.

i agree with that sentiment, reality does not.
the only person who can match me does not live downtown, they live in scappoose, a good 30+ miles from downtown over the mountain and through the woods. my customer does not have transportation to get there, but even if he did, i deliver downtown or across town without charging gas, so his business model would suffer (you might say i would cause HARM to his business model).
i could jack up my prices on him about $10-20 per ounce and he would have no recourse. in that case, racism and discrimination would benefit me.
the ideology sounds so good..."well, if a business does that, it would be stupid and they would lose business and i would open up shop next door bla bla bla"...but in the real world, which is where i live, these types of impediments exist.
i do not need the fed gov to step in and tell me to do the right thing, but history proves that some businesses do.

Have a nice day, you should really make sure your info is the truth before putting it out there, you can't just go with the first google link you find, you have to do a little digging otherwise you look Dumb as shit.
n an address at Brigham Young University (BYU), Mormon Elder, Mark E Peterson, in speaking to a convention of teachers of religion at the college level, said:
"The discussion on civil rights, especially over the last 20 years, has drawn some very sharp lines. It has blinded the thinking of some of our own people, I believe. They have allowed their political affiliations to color their thinking to some extent.I think I have read enough to give you an idea of what the Negro is after."

He isn't just trying to ride on the same streetcar or the same Pullman car with white people. It isn't that he just desires to go to the same theater as the white people. From this, and other interviews I have read, it appears that the Negro seeks absorption with the white race. He will not be satisfied until he achieves it by intermarriage."[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"That is his objective and we must face it. We must not allow our feelings to carry us away, nor must we feel so sorry for Negroes that we will open our arms and embrace them with everything we have. Remember the little statement that we used to say about sin, 'First we pity, then endure, then embrace'...."[/FONT]

You got your facts wrong. First of all "Blacks" were not only allowed but welcomed into the fold. What they couldn't do is hold the Priesthood. There are many explanations for this. None of which I find satisfactory. The Mormons who moved into Illinois and Missouri were from the northern states. They were staunch anti-slavery stock. Which worried the states they moved into. This is when Missouri passed a law that made it legal to kill Mormons. This law wasn't repealed until the 70's. This brought about the Mormon massacres. They were murdered and driven from their homes. Which triggered the migration to Utah. Joseph Smith himself baptised a "black man" into the church.
If you really want to go there, I can trot out Southern Baptist and Methodist policies regarding African Americans. Those policies have changed as well. Singling the Mormons out is a bit disingenuous.
So Carne
I am correct that the Mormon church has a history of institutional Racism which existed until 1978
And the admission to Priesthood for blacks that came about was due to revelations to church leaders from God
and had nothing to do with the US goverment threatening to take away their tax free status nor anything to do with the NCAA Threatening to kick them out of the league

sorry to take such an eloquent post and reduce it to this, but this seems to be the main thrust of the argument.
i do not take the position that civil rights "forced ideals", i take the position that civil rights abridged freedoms in a good way.
do i like the idea of abridging freedoms? it depends.
yelling 'fire' in a crowded theatre is the classic example of abridging a freedom in a way that most people would have to agree with. civil rights seems not to be much different to me.
what irks me is when people try to equate civil rights with jackbooted thugs descending on your private property and telling you how to wipe your ass. it is not that way, although you'd be hard-pressed to know that based on how some people argue the case.
in any case, i had a thought as i was making my delivery: soon it will be rand's turn to carry the torch for his daddy. and rand carries the same position on civil rights, and it will be his downfall.
instead of being taken seriously, much of the rand paul debate will be focused on the same 50 year old debate on civil rights, and most people disagree with him.
it's just not a sensible position to take.

carne, it was written in the book, obviously everyone who is a Mormon is a racist, don't try to deny it, its written in the book for gods sake. Just like the RP newsletters.
No I want you to address the question in a meaningful way
Name 5 things you dont like about Ron Paul
you must disagree with him on some of his policys
And as far as the history of racism in the Mormon church it is again something you cannot sweep under the rug. It happened it was there. You can move on but you cannot deny its existance
And i didnt accuse every Mormon of being a racist. But the Mormons practiced Jim Crow policys before Jim Crow policys were official parts of some state goverments
huh? I never made an argument saying it only happened here, in the 80's it WAS a mainly gay disease, now its mostly from IV drug users. Statistics wholly bear this truth out, you should look into them.
