#whenever i bring up race and the priesthood to my dad he tells me a quote he heard from someone Black in the church
#i can't remember who it was specifically but i'll ask my dad and update y'all with the reference
#but basically it said “tell me ONE GROUP founded in the 1800s that HASN'T had a complicated relationship with race”
#like. we are an old church. of course things were different.
#and if you actually read the book of mormon it says some very race-positive things
#“skin of blackness” is almost certainly metaphorical for example
#“Blacks in the Scriptures: Skin Color & Curses (2007)” is a great resource. my dad made us all sit down and watch it when i was real young

#sure we have a sordid past. so does literally everyone!!
#people should look at the doctrine in the scriptures and not the imperfect teachings of imperfect people in an imperfect world
