“Is the Book of Mormon racist?
Yes, in some ways. The Book of Mormon is an ancient account of competing ethnic clans over the course of about 1,000 years.[1] Sometimes those clans' records include racist rhetoric.[2] There are also more explicit verses in the Book of Mormon that say that God cursed Lamanites with "a skin of blackness."[3]

Are prophets in the Book of Mormon racist?
Yes, in that some of them expressed ethnocentric[4] beliefs against different tribes using racist language.[5] However, some of those same prophets also taught against racial prejudice.[6]

Is the gospel taught in the Book of Mormon racist?
No. The Book of Mormon does not promote or teach racism as a principle of the gospel of Jesus Christ and instead teaches the universal nature of God's love and Christ's atonement.[7] The Church condemns racism in any form and teaches that we are all God's children.”

So they are no longer racist, they just worship a racist God and force kids to sing songs about what a great book the Book of Mormon is, knowing it’s indefensibly racist.

consistency of teachings from place to place & time to time has Never been a strong point of Mormonism or of ChurchCo..

+ most leaders are reticent to reign in LDS fundys...

Members are free to read, understand & apply the BoM as they please.

Mormon Doctrine is a huge off-key Joke.

They are apparently sincere in trying to stifle their inner-racism, so they may be due some respect.

And all in all, not a completely horrible environment in which to raise rich White kids...

If the families are still rich, the church is not doing its job.

Store up not treasures on Earth, for that is TCOJCOLDS’ job. And it came to pass that TCOJCOLDS overflowed exceedingly with abundant resources.

Wrong spot

If the people in question never actually existed, were they really racist.

Imagine the disappointment and shock when Mormons first tuned in to see "The Amazing Race" on television and it wasn't about them!

The devil may have mad Geraldine do it, but Mormon God make them do it. Only Geraldine dressed better.

To excuse racism in the Book of Mormon is to excuse racism in 1820s America.
