Yeah, I’m going to venture out on this perilous ledge; an indisputable, documented history and a lengthy legacy of racial exclusion are the Mormon faith's most significant obstacles.
Their single greatest impediment, hindrance, obstruction, barrier, hurdle, encumbrance, handicap and drawback in obliterating their,
some might contend "well deserved" reputation as a racist, sexist and
White supremacist cult . . .
Let's walk n' talk . . . you do know,
Mormons believe/believed Blacks were damned by God - painted n’
tainted forever, from the “Underworld” to this world and beyond, damned to be
the “servants to the servants . . .”
Yep, you got it; that’s the silly
little insidious sticking-point with most of us “thinking” baboons.
After
years of doing talk radio, on a fifty-thousand-watt Blowtorch, and, after years
of putting my thoughts on paper -be it virtual or actual wood shavings - my
words being posted here n’ there on the World Wide Web - the angriest "die
nigger die" luv letters I’ve had the pleasure of reading - emanate
from the pens of the Latter Day Saints.
You’re
the stupidest dumbest, racist nigger I've ever seen . . . . and that’s
a mild one I can share.
Here, you may not dig this . . . but
dig this; The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, founded by t
Joseph Smith in 1830, and headquartered in Salt Lake City Utah, has a
membership of over 13 million . . . globally.
But from 1848 to 1978 Mormon
Church leaders taught, as official Church doctrine, that Negroes were
the "cursed" children of Cain, that the Mark of Cain was a black
skin, and that Negroes were "less valiant" in the War in Heaven
(a battle between Jesus and Lucifer before this planet was created in which all
human spirits were involved).
Negroes were forbidden from the Priesthood and Temples - the
opportunity to become Gods and Goddesses in the afterlife, and from the hope of
becoming Gods and Goddesses - Mormons believe that all Gods are married to
Goddesses, and only faithful Mormons "endowed" and "sealed"
in a Mormon Temple may become a God or Goddess in the Afterlife.
On June 8th, 1978, the 130 year "priesthood-ban" was
lifted by President Spencer Kimball via a direct hot-lne conversation with God
and, since then, Black Mormons have had all the rights and opportunities in the
Church as all others. Black Mormon membership has skyrocketed from less
than a thousand to over 400,000.
Most people . . . with a brain believe the true motivation
behind this seeing-of-the-light was money and image.
In 1978, several universities - amongst them Stanford, Arizona State, Cal
State, were refusing to play games with BYU because of its
"discrimination".
When BYU teams played at other schools, BYU
athletes were often pelted with eggs or rocks, called "racists" and
threatened.
That same year, Independent black
"Mormons" in Africa were begging for missionaries, but could be send
none; because the "Curse of Cain" legacy had became known to black
African governments . . . who then were denying all white Mormons
visas.
Add to that "the Brazil Situation" (i.e. 80% of white
Mormons in Brazil had "Negro" blood and thus would be unable to
worship in the Mormon Temple they were sacrificing to build in Sao Paulo
In 1978, a liberal U.S. Government under Jimmy Carter was
making more and more threats against Brigham Young University (and perhaps the
Church itself).
And, American publications from TIME magazine
on were writing about the Church's "anti-black doctrines."
Thank you Mr. Internet, and particularly the "Black
Mormon Homepage"/Darrick Everson
In
the face of this stark Black n' White past - I guess what leaves my hardly
human ass somewhat baffled, OK, blown the you know what away . . . how
I’m suppose to overlook, hopefully look-beyond a religion
preaching a Gospel which deems an entire race sub-human, hell
4/5ths a man.
Despite our organs and blood being interchangeable
with every-other humans. . . I’m regarded as not human. Ain’t
that a bitch??
So,
as I watch the new business partnership of BYU Football with ESPN,
coupled with the ascendancy of the great talking ass - Glenn Beck, who went from
the gutter to the curb in front of the little White stippled church, with
burning cross and all . . .
And then toss-in Mitch Romney- the likely GOP Great
White Dope for the White House on 2012 - I can only conclude Mormons, the
blind-followers of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young - are mounting a drive for
acceptance into mainstream White America.
Yes,
these Mormons . . . with their shared religious/social/political ideas - concern
me.
We
can assume all the internal oddities and peculiarities which are the Mormons -
compared and contrasted with that racist Black/pinko/commie/socialist/Black
Liberation theologists Muslim Bar-rake Obama now residing in, staining
the Black House - the Mormons normalities appear to be much more normal, more
“tolerable” in the minds of the nationwide WASP Rank n’ file - thus
creating this new “front” - a partnership; the Southern Baptist
with Mormons, Sarah Palin and the religious Rednecks - clearly finding common
lower ground in their mutual rejection of . . . everybody who ain’t White and
to the Right.
A
changing-of-the-guard within Euro-American culture. A sort of “Uprising“
is playing-out before our very eyes, right here and right now, based upon a
very real perceived loss of "White" societal clout, control . . .
power.
Donny Osmond and the Osmonds
couldn't hold microphones for the Jackson Five.
This shifting of the Caucasian
Vanguard logically will culminate in the White back-lash we see coming on the
political horizon in the form of conservative extremist like Beck and
Romney gaining influence and the embracement of BYU by mainstream Whites.
Think
Bunker Hill, Custer’s Last Stand, the Alamo, D-Day - that’s the Minute
Man mentality of the Republican Tea-Party, they, as White folks
wholeheartedly believe “their” country, “their” far superior way-of-life,
“their” semi-puritan way-of-life is in jeopardy . . .
Beck, Romney and the
BYU's virtually lily-White athletic teams are the Seventh Calvary, Davey
Crockett and The Kentucky ????, Patton's Sum-Bitches coming to the rescue of
all that is pure and White.
BYU
is battling for national acceptance, respect and popularity - as a
religion, as a college powerhouse and as a manufacturer of All-American Leaders
who’ll work to return America to her glory years of global dominance, restore
good decent god-fearing White folks, "real" White people to their
natural position atop the US social ladder.
BYU is a cornerstone in
the never-ending American cultural wars the battle for the
hearts and minds of the little people.
With
the Mormons harboring sexist, elitist and racist perceptions . . .
as they appear to do - I’ve got to ponder; what racially diverse and
religiously tolerant institutions of higher learning want to do business with a
school, BYU - which fields teams that are vastly all-white . . . by
design, not by happenstance.
Teams who've a street rep of talking big-time stuff
on the field or hardwood courts.
What
college is wiling to pit their Black “boys” or “gals” against BYU? I’ve got to
wonder if Black student athletes . . . and their parents want their sons
and daughters competing against people who question their “humanness?
How many enlightened
Afro-American parents have no desire to help deepen and enrich a sect which
produced and officially and or unofficially supports Beck? A man who's fanning
the flames of racial tension is this country.
"Fanning the flames . . .
?" Too soft." How about "pouring NASA Rocket fuel" on the
combustible fire which is US race relations?
I
wonder how many Later Day Saints agree with Beck and look out at the
American landscape . . . to find it suddenly akin to . . . Planet of the
Apes. Are these "real Americans" on the BYU football team?
How many coaches and players have been indoctrinated by the same religious
doctrine as Beck? How many . . . millions of Mormons believe the same demeaning
and insulting things about “dark skinned folk?”
Let's not stumble past the truth;
Mormon President Kimball did not repudiate this "Curse of Cain
Doctrine." He ended the Priesthood-ban Policy, but he did
not repudiate the Curse of Cain Doctrine.
Every statement by him
reveals that he believed this doctrine was true, and from the LORD. How many
Mormons still. behind closed doors concur with their Grand Pooh Pahs?
As recently as 2006; the Mormon
church has been asked by the Black Mormons themselves to publicly address
racism and the Cain Doctrine embedded deep within their church walls. . . .
please go Google "Black Mormons" don't take my word . . . seek the
burning bush truth.
I've spent a few days in Salt Lake City . . . it was not a
warm n. fuzzy feeling I left with. And I am an avid skier, Utah has prime-time
ski resorts . . . but I can't bring myself to do conduct trade and
commerce with folks who . . . aren't quite sure I'm as human as they are.
Ain't that a White supremacist for
you?
Years
ago, before the American people were strategically dumbed-down to our current Dancing
With The Stars deepness . . . liberal minded Universities out here in the
wild wild west refused to do biz-ness with bigots.
Athletes refused to play
against bigots - BYU was in-between a rock n’ a hard-ass place.
I can't imagine how colleges and
scholar athletes, particular Black American sportsmen could or should be
comfortable today lending credibility and authenticity to a sub-group in the
USA which believes millions of its own paying customers/constituents are
sub-human with no real hope of salvation and a giant watermelon patch in the
sky.
Let me be honest; the Mormons have
an operation Reverend Ike, Billy Graham, Elijah Muhammad, and Louis Farrakhan
would kill for. . . . Hell, they've got their own state . . .
These cats
have perfected "religion," nonetheless they appear to be a bastion of
duplicity and hypocrisy, having the principals of a . . . politician, a
political pimp - twisting n' turning in the winds of profitability.
