42:00 - 57:00 It's amazing how far white men will go to demonize Black people and attempt to continue to keep them enslaved through eternity.
Out of the myriad of organized religions, Mormonism is one of my least favorites just because of how openly racist it used to be. Also, you made it much farther into the movie than I did lol. I got to the half-hour mark and I couldn't take anymore.
I was on a bit of a mission though and I did jump around a bit. There are sooooooo many Mormons around and I have some concerns about some things about them lately. I have a friend who is an ex-Mormon (grew up in it and her family was way up in the cult). She's told me that the majority of the people in it don't even know their own history, what they believe, and so forth. Of course, for me, the racism stuff is a HUGE issue. I even had one try to tell me about how that was long ago in the past and so forth. Really? Their policies were still in full force in 1978 and there are still all sorts of things going on today. 12 years ago there was still all sorts of issues with racial issues with adoption. You really should check out the part I mentioned. They go on about how black people are black because they are cursed and they their skin color is the "mark" and if they repent and do good works they can get lighter - even white! One of the Apolostles they interviewed even said he saw it happen. However, if anyone sins their skin will darken.
I was hunting around and saw this post. Couldn`t open video so I can`t comment on the contents. However, I had a Native American colleague who`s married to a Mormon and they seem ok. I heard somewhere that Mormons believed the Garden of Eden was located in the US and the Native Americans are the direct descendants of the original inhabitants of the Garden of Eden. That probably explains why there were so many Mormon churches on that reservation.
It was official Mormon doctrine until approximately 1980 that black people did not have souls, and it was only retracted at that time. The Mormon's faux deference to Native Americans is a smokescreen to deflect from the violence committed by Mormons while disguised as Native Americans to incite US cavalry attacks against them and disguise their land grabs against both Native Americans AND US nationals settling out west. The irony about their old anti-black doctrine is that their limited numbers in the US required them to ramp up their missionary efforts in Africa, the Pacific Islands and South America, among people who are visibly of African, Melanesian or Polynesian heritage, just to keep their church growing.
