Was anyone taught that everyone turns white when they are resurrected?
I was taught this growing up and thought all Mormons believe it. But I can’t find any teachings that state this.

'the unwritten order of things'


mormons believe (out-of-date now?) that ppl will rise with "perfected bodies", to many, that means 'white & delightsome' doesn't it?

This was taught in the context of the curse of Cain.

"When all the other children of Adam have had the privilege of receiving the Priesthood, and of coming into the kingdom of God, and of being redeemed from the four quarters of the earth, and have received their resurrection from the dead, then it will be time enough to remove the curse from Cain and his posterity. He deprived his brother of the privilege of pursuing his journey through life, and of extending his kingdom by multiplying upon the earth; and because he did this, he is the last to share the joys of the kingdom of God." (Brigham Young, JoD, vol. 2, p. 143)

"Cain, Ham, and the whole negro race have been cursed with a black skin, the mark of Cain, so they can be identified as a caste apart…" (McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, p. 114, CASTE SYSTEM)

"Racial degeneration, resulting in differences in appearance and spiritual aptitude, has arisen since the fall. We know the circumstances under which the posterity of Cain (and later of Ham) were born with the characteristics of the black race." (McConkie, p. 616, RACES OF MEN)

Didn't you realize that white is all colors combined? You need to get back to basic physics.

All colors of LIGHT combined yield white. An absence of light yields black.

If you considers mixing pigment colors (not light), then you get BLACK as the result.
