#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#https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOFxilaUh3o#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#lds#mormon#lds church#tumblrstake#sparrow squawks#queerstake
