Genesis? Niche? Pacifier?
"In June we will celebrated 36 years since the '78 revelation that put an end to the priesthood ban. There are many opinions on why there was a ban, most of them wrong. Fortunately, there is light.

I've never found light, or knowledge (or truth - or straightforwardness), in TMC. You?
A little Black Mormon timeline:

PASTOR TO PASTOR: PRESIDENT HINCKLEY’S PERSONAL APOLOGY FOR RACISM IN THE CHURCH
SEPTEMBER 22, 2012"
Did Hinkley apologize to the people - to the members and the world - or just to another pastor of another church?
Will Monson clarify things? Doubtful

“That happened, I don’t know why, but let me get you in touch with some people that can tell you,” Smith said. “It’s two guys. They have the information. They are going to personally deliver you a free blue book (The Book of Mormon). … Everyone loves free stuff.”
[Why doesn't TMC call for you a professional that might can answer the questions (besides the fact that they might not have any), rather than green - and usually unknowledgeable of truth and in history - seekers?]
Speaking of missionary work, the Sistas joked about introducing a few celebrities to the church.
“It’s very helpful, like with Dale Murphy and Gladys Knight,” Vranes said. “I want the missionaries to baptize Taylor Swift so she can finally find a good boyfriend.”
“Yes, we want to help you, Taylor. We can find you a good, righteous, faithful man,” Smith said with a huge grin. “We also need a rapper. If we could get Jay-Z and Beyonce, oh my goodness. The missionaries need to do their job.”
“Yeah, right,” Vranes said, rolling her eyes.

That adjustment was aided by attending the Genesis Group, an organization created by the LDS Church's First Presidency as a way to serve the unique needs of black Latter-day Saints and other Mormon minorities.
Other Mormon minorities? Like Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, Indians? Like GLBT? Like singles? Like, what other minorities? Free thinkers? HA
The Genesis Group ("another Mormon arm") is a club within a club within a club.
