Can something be simultaneously stunning and not surprising?

Wow. What were they thinking!
There is no spinning the rape of black slaves. How insensitive.

The word is that they ran through a bunch of focus groups as far south as Nephi and as far north as Murray, and everyone was fine with it!

I wasn't taught Utah was a slave territory. I doubt many Utahans know it was.

These children came from somewhere -- and they weren't "dropped from the clouds..."

Why am I not surprised at the racism?

I've seen this commercial a number of times lately. I was surprised that it was ever approved.

The white guy is trying to get a female slave to "run away with him" to Canada ? I can't even convince women to run away with me to Wendover.

And somehow no one saw a problem with this before it aired.

That kind of says it all.

Even if it were someone's story, it's not a Mormon story. Mormons always want to expropriate the good stuff, even from people they loathe and excoriate. Didn't this same group run ads a while back romanticizing babies being abandoned at orphanages during the Middle Ages? That obviously would have been the Catholic Church, not Mormons.

Mormonism would spin this as an "inspired" leader paving the way for more of God's children to come down like "gentle rain" through skies darkened by Communism.
