Mormon Prophets’ Racist “Opinions”

Hey LDS Leaders, just follow your own repentance process and own it. What you can't do is pretend you were never a deeply racist spiritual community.

"If Im so racist then how come God gave us races to be racist against" damn he got us in the clutches of reason

It's simple folks....It's a business NOT A RELIGION.

Lex ALWAYS BRINGS RECEIPTS!

It's beyond sad that despite the hurt this doctrine has caused the church will never apologize, but again if they do they’ll be admitting that the church is ran by man and not God. It's appalling what people do and then blame it all on God.

I love these videos where you take a comment and checkmate them a couple times.

Most of those books you showed were on the approved reading list when I was on my mission back in 1978, I remember as a young Deacon sitting a priesthood meeting listening to a member of the bishopric explain to us why blacks are not allowed to have the have the priesthood, it all came down to this was Gods decision, they were a cursed race. The church is trying paint over its history like this was all one big misunderstanding and that none of this was canonized doctrine.

Every time an apologist tries to walk back a doctrine they falsify the truth claims of the church. If it was indeed divinely inspired no walking back of doctrine would be necessary.

When you slid that stack of books in frame, I was like, "Oh, she has time today!" 😂 I wish I knew Gladys Knight personally, so I could forward this to her! I'm still so not okay with a Motown queen falling for this bigoted scam of a religion!

My school, San Diego State University was one among many of Universities in the late 60’s who REFUSED to play BYU in athletics because Blacks were not allowed to be in the Priesthood. Lo and Behold, within a year or two the Prophet had a Revelation ( timely I’d say) that Yes the Blacks could now hold the Priesthood. I’m sure ALL the money they missed out on didn’t have anything to do with the Revelation! Thanks Lexi for using their very own books to teach them about their own church!

What's doctrine today may not be tomorrow, and what a latter-day prophet says today is God's word may become "just his opinion" tomorrow, once the doctrine or revelation has become unpopular, or just flat out unacceptable. There's an awful lot of this revisionist argument in Mormon apologetics, especially lately it seems.

It is hard to believe that POC actually have joined this racist church even after they changed the policy.

Oh the shame! Thank you for having that pile of shit books so you have the receipts!

"When god allows the spirit to take on a ----- body, do you suppose he is unaware of the fact that he will suffer a social stigma? Therefore if you say this church is unjust in not allowing the ----- to bear the priesthood, you must to be consistent likewise say that god is even more unjust in giving him black a skin." I'm surprised that this book contains an argument for why god is not benevolent. As an atheist, I approve.

Mormon doctrine’s foundation is racism. I heard many racist teachings across the pulpit and in the lessons in the 80s and 90s. What members are saying is symbolic now was taught as literal then.

Please continue posting videos like this one. A previous one caused me to dive into the history of the LDS church which led to be telling the Missionaries that I had no interest in being baptised into the cult. (I was very polite to those poor deluded kids.) Thank you.

You are awesome!!

In my brief 2.5yr exposure to the LDS Church through meeting my wife I saw a few common things among the members and Bishops. First was how many mainstream daily Mormons have almost no knowledge of the history of the Church other than a few lessons taught repeatedly. I was quite shocked having done some basic research how little my wife knew and she and her entire family are born and lived members. I expected them to be knowledgeable experts but they are truly quite clueless. Second thing is how little interest or even disdain for learning about the history of their own religion's history they have. I've asked some about why haven't you explored it and they almost seemed revolted, saying why dig up the past or we've moved on as if that means knowing how you got here today does not matter. And lastly, regarding the Bishops, I spoke and met with 4 different ones in 2 states about understanding and clarifying questions on the Church's past history. To a tee all of them tried to tell me it was not the correct way to grow in the church, would only lead to me being confused as if I'm too stupid to understand this complex web of changes, and that they basically discouraged it. It says a lot when leadership tries to steer you away from learning about the past, it only proves they have something to hide.

Thank you for this, Lexi!

The problem is that today's "prophets" must be believed, revered and OBEYED. Otherwise, you are an "apostate", and you cannot enter the temple, let alone hie to Kolob. (Even if in 20 years it is all proved to be "opinions of men", to be flushed down the toilet.)
