"For behold, the Lord shall curse the land with much heat, and the barrenness thereof shall go forth forever; and there was a BLACKNESS came upon all the children of Canaan, that they were DESPISED AMONG ALL PEOPLE." LDS Pearl of Great Price, Moses 7:8

Show me the socalled "doctrine" and I can answer you. I only know, that this happened in old times, 2000 years ago, that is history and no "mormon doctrine"

Again Mormontube you're not undestanding.

mormon doctrine teaches that blacks were once cursed, that their skin came from a mark and that black skin in general is a sign of God's displeasure.

Mormonism teaches that native Americans can become "skin color white" when they become good Christians.

Well you don't think these racist teachings are taught by Mormons?

Well talk to brian8793, he's Mormon, very well informed I might add, and he seems very very sure of what he says he knows. He is currently debating me on a thread where he would easily refute you. Please talk to him and explain it to him.

This lie told by Mormontube... and by Mormon doctrine is only accepted outside of Mormonism by the following groups:

1. The KKK
2. The NAZI
3. The White "Christian" Supremacists

Everyone, who knows the Mormons personaly, knows also, that this is nonsense. What Kind of "mormons" do you know?
Here in germany, a country with a nazi tradition, Mormons are the friends of all foreign people, they help and care and be friends with them.
And we dont use such unfriendly words like you do. Are you a black racist ?

The lie (told by Mormontube):

White people in history were cursed to be black. Then they were changed to white.

The truth:
Those people in question were never "white" to begin with. Their skins were never changed color. Black skin color has no accursed attribute. White skin color has no blessed attribute.

In the Book of Mormon you can read the story of the white Israelites travelling to the americas. In that country they divided into two nations, the Nephites and the Lamanites. First the Nephites, were "the good" ones, but after a time, the darkskinned "lamanaites" became better than the white Nephites and after a period of peace a big war began and all the whites were killed , because of there unrighteousness!
THAT is the story of the BoM, Please READ it!
