Darron Smith to be on RadioWest on Wed. 11am and 7pm MST
Darron Smith is one of the movers and shakers on the issue of blacks and the church, and he is the one that lit my fire on this issue. He showed me the way.
http://www.kuer.org/#radiowest%20schedule I sent him the link from Lesson 31, Aaronic Priesthood Manual 3, about miscegenation. He did not know about it, and wasn't pleased with it. Nor am I. I wonder if he will mention it in the broadcast. |

To interpret that as anti-miscegenation is inaccurate. Anti-miscegenation has a connotation of being immoral and/or illegal. Neither is the case; unless you think President Kimball was saying that marrying someone of different educational background or social class is immoral and/or illegal.

WHAT? We're talking about a quote by President Kimball in the preisthood manual. That has NOTHING to do with Bob Jones.

When there comes to be heat over this, the church will take it out. And that's what I am working towards. |

The MSNBC article you cited earlier documented that very fact. |

I don't know if it is higher or not. I haven't read the study, and I've read elsewhere that the studies in this area are poor.
It's a self-fulfilling prophesy: because of racial differences you will fail. Problem is I don't buy the premise, and what I see is a lot of prejudice directed towards these kinds of couples making it that much tougher. When can the church finally abandon racist ideology in its official literature? I am going to publish this FAR and WIDE. |
