I've wondered about this also...Because when I heard about the Lemba tribe in Africa, being able to prove through DNA that they were Cohen (Levite descendants).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemba_peoplehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-chromosomal_Aaronhttp://www.cohen-levi.org/jewish_genes_and_genealogy/the_dna_chain_of_tradition.htmWhich means that A black man could of walked into any ward and set himself up as "Bishop" because he was a literal descendant of Aaron, a Levite.
The Church even accepted Mohammed as a prophet because of the patriarchal priesthood.
http://journalofdiscourses.com/3/6http://journalofdiscourses.com/3/7Even dark skin and all, they knew that patriarchal priesthood still had to be accepted (side note* That's why in the temple we had the three bows on the hat and robes to signify the Aaronic, Patriarchal and Melchezidek priesthoods)
They considered themselves closer to the Crescent than to the Cross. They praised the Muslims for polygamy, modesty in dress, not drinking wine, etc...
