Does Mormon Brigham Young's racist statements bother you, as they do me?
345578
Yes, they do.  However, Mormons will tell you that just because he said it doesn't mean they believe it...which goes against their believing that the words of the prophet/president are the words of God...\n"I know that the Mormon (LDS) church's official stance on ALL races today is that they are to all receive the same blessings according to their faith and diligence."  The key word is "today."  That wasn't the case when the Prophet Brigham Young held the flock under his thumb.  You claim not to pay mind to this because it was well over 100 years ago...The Bible was written 2000 years ago!!!  It only takes a century for the Mormon doctrine to change.  It's been 2000 years for Christianity.  Plus, I've encountered LDS on this site that claim the word of the Prophet to be good enough for them, after all, it really is the word of God.  Why, in the last 150 years had God been so confused?  Does he have Alzheimer's?  For almost two millennium he was solid, then Joseph Smith came along and claimed that God's mind was ever changing.  One cannot trust in a faith that is constantly changing, one that has president's who override past presidents AND the doctrine itself.\n***\nThe LDS keep saying that the remarks sound racist today, but that they didn't back in the 1800's.  His words were the words of God...Was God racist in the 1800's?  Why do you defend him with that answer when all you are really doing is claiming that 100 years ago, God was cool with racism?

Hey, I'm a Mormon too! I think people hate us because they don't have a life. They have nothing better to do so they chose to take something or someone that they don't agree with and chose to loath them with a Passion. There are people that hate G.W.Bush with a Passion, others hate Muslims the list goes on! basically all you Mormon haters need to get a life!! Maybe you should take up painting.

Them white boyz... ha ha ha\nWhy are you so worried about bashing white ppl all the time? This happens all the time, in any race, skin color, religion, ethnicity whatever, ppl will associate together if they have something in common and can all relate to. And even if they do that does not mean they're racist, or anti-religious, or anarchist or any other crap. You can be different ethnicity and still be white! This is just a typical stereotypical bashing. Seems cool lately, so you decided why not right? You just sounded more racist and condescending towards others than them white boyz you just described.

Hi there!  It's me again!  \nYou know, I think the thing to look at in the Mormon religion is again, the verifiable concrete stuff. (no pun intended ha ha ha)\nDid you know that while archeologists use the bible to find places and things (Rockefeller used the bible to locate OIL, remember Noah and the PITCH he used on the inside and outside of the ark?  DING?!?!? ) they have been QUOTED saying that they have tried finding the places mentioned in the Book of Mormon and THEY CAN'T FIND any of the sites.  And Joseph Smith said that the new Jerusalem would be built in the midwest and, like it never happened.  ANd he said that Native americans were a lost tribe of the Hebrews.  And thanks to DNA testing it was like completely shot down too.\nNOW do Mormons suck?  NO WAY!!!??!!! Not at all but are they deceived?  YES  The reason I say this is again.  DUDE if you are a Prophet of GOD.  YOU don't get ANY prophecies wrong.  You don't have gramatical errors in your text.  And DUDE you are not MORE HOLY because of the special underwear bro.  \nNOW Joseph Smith mentioned stuff about concrete, COOL.  I'm glad he got that right but sad that it would bring someone to believe that he would have the answer of how to get closer to God.  Mormons are very wonderful thoughtful people.    But so are Christians and NO Mormons are NOT Christians.  They do not believe that Jesus did the redemptive work at the Cross. And that it's WORKS that gets you to your own planet when you die.  WHAT?!?!?\nYes, that's right I said it. PLA-NET. Here's the thing Texas Toast.  I don't know what church you have been attending, but you know what it looks like they havent been teaching you the TRUTH.  That Jesus LOVED PROSTITUTES AND MURDERERS and SINNERS, His Apostles DISSED HIM until AFTER He was resurrected and appeared to them.  He's not the JERRY FALWELL loving-tie wearing- O'Reilly watching-Republican.  He loves me a SINNER and YOU and the MORMONS too!!!!, and by His death I am able to come before a HOLY GOD and say WHASSSS-UPPPP!!!  \nThis is sooooo cool that you want to ask questions and think about who it is that you are Worshipping and praying to.  RIGHT ON!  Don't give up and keep asking questions and the REAL GOD will stand up!

yes.  i believe everyone is racist, including me.  we live in a world that tells us since childbirth that dark people are bad.  if u are in a family of dark-complected people, chances are they tell u the opposite- that white people are evil.  society is setup this way, so I'm wary of anyone who says they have totally escaped this conditioning- don't trust them on that. \n\ni realize that i contain this bias and I'm always trying to improve it... rather than most people who deny they have any racism in themselves, and never try to improve it, since they won't admit they have a problem. \n\nit's a worldwide problem.  I'm American but a friend from India once told me that "anywhere i go, I'll catch hell" because of my dark skin.

I would think you were a white 24 year old male, who lived in Utah and was a Mormon. I don't think that sums you up. I don't know much about you, apart from some of the things you believe in. I wouldn't know you or judge you, but there are certain things I would do or say differently as to not offend you. There are certain things I would expect from you, carrying around that label. It isn't my issue though. I didn't label you, you did.

Answer to the question: someone's stuck on the subject.\n\nCaution, topher. Naming someone in Y!Answers can be considered a violation of Terms of Service and could draw an abuse email for chatting, harrassing, or some other category.\n\nI will say that I was able to look up the questions I think you are referring to. I read the headers only, but since all 27 have the word "Mormon" in them there appears to be an obsession.\n\nI don't know the content, not being that interested, but if you feel that there is something that violates community guidelines you can use the abuse process yourself. Just click on "abuse" in one of the questions.\n\nYou will have to choose a category of abuse and it will help if you put in the URLs or headers of all the questions and your reasons for believing they are abusive.\n\nIt's not automatic. A member of the Y!Answers staff will use your report to look the questions over and they may agree or disagree with your reasoning. There is currently a backlog of five days.\n\nHe may be looking for a reaction. That can be dialog or it can be trolling -- seeking to start a flame war. Don't bite. If you have a complaint make a report and move on. Avoid his bait. You're better than that and don't need to form an obsession yourself.\n\nA word to the wise.....

I also have an argument....why is it that the Mormons did not allow African Americans to sit in their funky little churches until the late 60s, saying it was the word of God?  If what you claim is the word of God, why is it that one minute you make Him all powerful and the next you make Him change His word?  Why one minute African Americans are beneath you and the next you say that it is allowed for them to worship along side you.  The word of God dose not and I repeat dose not change with the times.

If marrying outside your race was wrong, then Abraham, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Esther, Samson to name the majors would all be found guilty. God so loved the "world" that He gave His only Son. It didn't say God so loved the whites only, the chinese only, or what have you. God created blacks and other nationalities in His image and likeness and God said it was good. It's not the color of your skin you should be concerned with, it's the contents and issues in your heart coming out of your mouth. So we might as well get over any inner racist feelings that are rooted down in there because you will have a big problem in God's kingdom where there are multicultures and mixed babies and people all in Christ, made in His image.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH LUCKY2BEALIVE.  they are hypocrites.\n\nHe's just saying this poster "ME" accused me of being a racist but he's doing the same thing.

yes, but they refuse to acknowledge it. Their racism goes deeper than the institutionalized racism practiced in the United States, but it's probably not what most people consider racist. Most people think of active violence or open overt acts of agression or rejection as their mental image of racism; but that's not racism, it's prejudice. Mormons are racist and unapologetic about it. They'll tell you that there are tons of black members participating in their church. What they don't tell you is that there are very few black member in the united states, and taht within the US black member populations are-percentage based-mostly names on a roster...they don't go to church or participate in mormon practice. In the underdeveloped countries in africa and elsewhere, mormons have a growing population which seems to have more to do with American appeal than appeal to their theology. But mormons will insist they are not racist in spite of their teachings that skin color resulted from sin, and the fact that black mormons were denied leadership and other priveleges white members had until 1979, and the fact that mormons believe that when they go to heaven everyone will be white. This isn't the only form of descrimination within the Mormon church either. They also descriminate against women. Women still do not participate in any leadership that makes or changes church policy. They have gender roles; the woman is to be a homemaker and cook and raise the children; the man is to work and be in charge of the family...

I was married to a mormon once, and her daddy was a bishop.  For her sake I tried to validate mormonism, but Joseph Smith was a lying con artist who victimized the weak and ignorant.  This is based on the mormons version of the mormon history.\n\nBeyond that, their doctrine is a perversion of Biblical truth on almost every point of their doctrine.

Yes, refer to the 12th Arcticle of Fatih of the LDS church, as cited above.  What a ridiculous thing to say, honestly.  \n\nBesides, I thought George W was the one trying to do that?\n\nOr, could it be . . . . SATAN!\n\nAnd there is a war going on, it is a spiritual war, and all those who believe in God the Father and His Son, our Redeemer, will be on the winning side - not just Mormons, despite what South Park may tell you.
