If anyone has any good links regarding the LDS church and racism please post them so that I can add them to my website.

Here's what I have so far:

Re: curse of cain

read also the tabloid "the black hammer: a study of black power, red influence, and white alternatives" by wes andrews and clyde dalton.

foreword by your prophet, seer, and revelator mr. ezra benson.

i think that'll dissipate all doubts about racism and the mormon church. hell, just look at the cover for crying out loud.

This isn't overt, but it shows a general tone of thought for SWK:

I tried to get more conference talks... there were a few from the 80s that had a couple odd sentences, but without access to conference pre 70s, it's harder to find the real good gems.

The classic "Race Problems – As They Affect The Church" by Mark E. Petersen, August 27th, 1954

And this passive-aggressive lollipop from S.W. "Yoda" Kimball:

Thanks all - these are excellent!

Any additional links are also appreciated.

I assume you are aware of the Tanners' stuff?

If not, I would start with them and then add to that. They're gonna have about 90% of what you need for your website:

http://www.utlm.org/onlinebooks/curseofcain_contents.htm

I am aware of the Tanner's, yes. Thanks for the specific link.

I try to avoid Christian links as much as possible for 3 reasons:
1) The obvious bias of sheep-stealing.
2) They often have information that is specific to an evangelical Christian audience - things like our interpretation of the Bible is different that the Mormon interpretation therefore the Mormons are wrong.
3) I assume at least some other people are as turned off by the pot calling the kettle black as I am.

With that said I've found I am often using evangelical websites because often they have the best presented and/or researched information.

So I'll definitely include some links to Tanner stuff but I don't want it to be dominated by their stuff.

Just use their sources not what they actually write. Most of their books are just citations from LDS sources anyhow. I would simply copy n paste their historical quotes. Ignore what they actually wrote and use your own words as commentary. And there's no need to link to their website.

This one addresses the latest press release from the church on its past racism, and how the admission affects the current and future CEO/administrations of LDScorp in their claim to be prophets.

Thanks!

Are there any other links to specific articles on Mormonthink that you would recommend? (You probably have the best website out there, but it can be really hard to navigate and find the gems sometimes - probably just the result of having so much information.)

Thanks All!

Here's what I ended up with:
http://mormonprobe.com/index.php?topic=Racism

Two eensy spelling errors (it's what I do, sorry!):

>>>Spencer W Kimball str(O)ngly

>>>re-election of Bar(1 'r')ack Obama


>>>Ezra Taft Benson: Raceb(A)iter

It looks great!

Thanks for catching those!
