So I was talking to my TBM friend who doesn't know I'm closet-exmo and she says that the 'killing of Native Americans was justified by Heavenly Father because they were Lamanites.'
I was honestly flabbergasted, because she's such an intelligent and kind person. Of course, I probably would've thought the same had I known the church thought the Native Americans were Lamanites. But I was done before I even figured that out.
While I would not be here without the fact many Native Americans lost nearly everything to the Europeans, that does not justify Europeans. I suppose history is history, but evil is still evil.
Just needed to get that off my chest, thank you.
