Does the skin of black people turn white?

@@fayelewis5476 no, that is metephorical and an example of ancient prejudice. No matter if those words were interpretated as literal by some leaders, its important to understand the the use of grand metaphor by ancient peoples to castigate their enemies. Its all over antiquity. On the other hand, let's say Joseph Smith is a fraud and wrote the book himself. Wouldnt those words prove he is a racist? Except that he wasnt. He wanted slavery to end. He gave blacks the priesthood while he was alive. He also was greatly despised in Missouri because they were preaching to slaves and it caused them much trouble.
@@fayelewis5476 Look at it this way. We know that the BOM story shows the dark skin people being Gods chosen at times, and the lighter skinned people Gods chosen at times. This was in relation to their committment to God. Not skin color. If one culture overtakes another, in one sense, they literally begin to mingle and intermarry. When that happens, the offspring will eventually take on the phenotypes of both. Thats possibly what happened. The rightous people at the time were light skinned nephites, and the lamanites that converted began to intermarry and the children took on new phenotypes.
It wasn't a racist past....it was their Godly belief... supposedly what they believed was due to a teaching directly from God.....very unlikely though.....God doesn't make mistakes..much less teach racism being that the creator of the whole world... created all tounges and races etc etc....
@Suzy Mickles apparently u didn’t understand…they say it’s God’s teaching…u think that’s what god teaches?Theyve made mistakes..u think god isn’t mighty enough to take care of his word and teachings?

Too bad Heavely Father wouldn’t allow them to have the priesthood until the 70s. At least God changed his mind when he saw that society was moving past racism on its own though, right? That’s how you know you have the one true restored church- When God is humble enough to admit he allowed his last remaining prophets to screw it up in the first place. Oh wait….
What a rosy story about mammy.....as if she had any choice. No choice means you can’t say no and therefore can’t say yes of your own volition. Not to mention the horrible racism of this religion. Let’s get real

Thanks for sharing this wonderful story
I Believe some day the church will reconsider and issue an apology for it's racist past, the sooner the better.

Do you know much about Green Flake's life as a slave?
Not only sad for Mame Cloe, but im sure regardless of ethnicity many lived and died that way. Most importantly the Lord knows who they are.
There are some really good people in the Mormon Church but the Church needs to offer a public apology for their history of overt racism.
Why?
@@mca4093 What do you mean Why??
Why would the Church not apologize for its racist past.
Racism is evil
Surely you know that.
Why
