Mormons at it again

To the best of my understanding you are correct - up to a point. Black people were admitted as members of the Church through baptism, but were not, as I wrote in the previous post allowed to hold the so-called authority of God, the priesthood. Brigham Young, the second president of the LDS church after Joseph Smith was killed, said the following in a talk given in 1852:
Quote: Now then in the kingdom of God on the earth, a man who has has the Affrican blood in him cannot hold one jot nor tittle of preisthood; ... That time will come when they will have the privilege of all we have the privelege of and more. In the kingdom of God on the earth the Affricans cannot hold one partical of power in Government. ... it is the Lords will they should receive the spirit of God by Baptisam; and that is the end of their privilege; and there is not power on earth to give them any more power.
Young took a hundred slaves across the plains on the trek west and slavery was actually legalised in Utah on 4th February 1852.

I am sure you are familiar with Young's attitude to women :mad:
