In order to track down the statements of many that LDS
followers are taught that black people were cursed by god to be black, and
called loathsome by god and forbidden to have sex with black people and that
god cursed black people “to become an
b people, full of mischief and subtlety,
and did seek in the wilderness for beasts of prey.” I looked into the Second Book
of Nephi on the LDS website (1).
The claim of the blanket cursing of people of color has been refuted by
many Mormons as a misreading of scripture or outright distortions of their
faith. So I looked in their own book. And there it was in simple if somewhat
flowery language: 2 Nephi 5 – 20 -24. The statements above are all there in,
dare I say, black and white. No doubt what so ever. People of color were cursed
by their god (and yours if you are a Christian, Jew or Muslim) to be black,
loathsome, idle and forbidden to be married to white people.
And you want a President that believes this crap? You can’t
get around this you know. You have to look into your hearts or ask yourself or
ask your friends of color this question. Mitt believes this. He was taught this
from a baby. He
knows that god
made black people loathsome and idle. He KNOWS this. The same way you Christian
friends know that Jesus died on the cross for your sins. Indoctrination at an
early age. You cannot disbelieve that Jesus died for you and Mitt cannot
disbelieve that black people are loathsome either. He also believes that god
has numerous wives and all Mormons will be gods themselves. Monotheistic? Not
even close.
Do you really want a man to be President that believes this
level of clear distortion and untruth? I don’t.
