A FAIR Analysis of FutureMissionary page "Black Mormons"
FAIRMORMON'S VIEW OF THE CRITICS' CONCLUSIONS
The positions that the FutureMissionary article "Black Mormons" appears to take are the following:
- That racist quotes from Church leaders made in the late 1800's and 1950's somehow have relevance to missionary preparation.
- That the Book of Mormon supports segregation.
- That old prohibitions within the Church forbidding interracial marriage may have been abolished.
- That the Church teaches that "blacks could go to the Celestial Kingdom, but only as slaves," while stating that "most members believe this changed in 1978."
- That "blacks born prior to 1978 were born black because they were less valiant in the pre-existence," without mentioning the Bruce R. McConkie refuted his earlier statements on this subject.
