I have read articles about African-Americans who are members of the LD$ church knowing the past history in which African-American males could not hold the priesthood. I even watched a Youtube video of two African-American men who are members having a conversation with a camera guy about it.

There is an African-American man in the family ward I am at who has been a member of TSCC for about 14 years and an African-American convert woman who converted in the fall. I even met an African-American woman who has been a member of the LD$ church for about 20 years. I visited the family ward in my hometown and there was an African-American family in which some of their sons were deacons and teachers.

I'm not implying that all Mormons were like this in the past. What I am trying to get at is....this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I wonder if they even know about the past ban against them, and if they do, what their thoughts are on the subject.

Of course they know, they just don't think it matters. It's like members who don't think it matters that Joseph was a poon hound or Brigham was a tyrant or the BoA is a transparent fraud.
