Incidentally maybe Yukon is a Mormon because they're racist to their rotten core-
"Cain, Ham and the whole Negro race have been cursed with black skin, the mark of Cain, so they can be identified as a "caste apart". A people with whom the other descendants of Adam should not intermarry." -(Mormon Doctrine, Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, pg. 114)
"Negroes in this life are denied the priesthood; under no circumstances can they hold this delegation of authority from the Almighty. (Abra. 1:20-27) -(Mormon Doctrine, pg. 527, Bruce R. McConkie )

If some Mormons oppose the racism, they should PROVE IT by leaving the Mormons,, it's as simple black/white as that. Jesus said "I came to save the world", he never said-"I didn't come to save blacks"..

Jesus said "I came to save the world", he never said-"I didn't come to save blacks".. I don't know if this just makes you feel better about your faith or what but I regret to inform you that Joseph Smith didn't invent the notion that we, the people of the sun, are cursed. It's a more ancient, more generically Christian belief. It was even used to justify African chattel slavery. See: The doom of Ham has been branded on the form and features of his African descendants. The hand of fate has united his color and destiny. Man cannot separate what God hath joined. This quote is from Senator James Henry Hammond. Mr. Hammond was no Mormon. He was a good, Christian son of South Carolina. His remarks are from 1836. And his feelings reflected the broad public support for the institution of slavery. So yeah, as much as I disagree with the Mormons, I don't think that you, my dear Christian, are in a position to saddle them with some special responsibility to answer for racism. White people in general were on some racist shit in the 19th century.
