Being from Compton, the place where rap was made mainstream, I laugh so hard seeing a "mormon rapper". There is a reason nobody knows about him.

Utah is the worst for a black as myself coming from a black majority city in California. People staring at you thinking you're going to rob them or something. I blame the church.

So if god wanted the Bible to be translated into English, German, etc. Then why was it so complicated while somehow the Book of Morons was translated with ease; one guy translating it, meaning he just happened to translate a language that had no change whatsoever. Mormons claim god helped him but it also says many times that it was only one language in the d&c. Languages evolve into many diff

I took my girlfriend to Salt Lake city a weekend or two ago to show her around because she's never been before, as she's from Africa. She wanted to go to temple square and look around, regardless of my hesitation to do so. Both me and her both are planning on leaving the church soon so it was awkward but I guess it's one of those things you HAVE to do in Utah or whatever. About three minutes afte

http://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/church-statement-charlottesville-virginia I recently read the church's statement on the Charlottesville protests (link above). As an African American trying to escape the church, this literally made me laugh out loud. The article quotes "The Book of Mormon teaches 'all are alike unto God' (2 Nephi 26:33)." This is the same book that also

If you're looking for an even more sketchy but also damn good restaurant; Louis Burgers in Compton is the place. I go everytime I visit my uncle. Just don't stay outside the restaurant too long at night or you're screwed.

There is a few things you could probably do. You can apply for a community collage (at least one or two classes) and get pretty cheap student housing, it would be useful to have a couple roommates in mind. Do you have any extended family that you're close to? If so you could maybe arrange some sort of deal with them. Maybe start looking for another job with good pay if these don't sound ideal to

This post has been really helpful. You are right about me being a bit vague on the situation. I do love this girl and we have been together for some time. And about the legal issues... it's her that has to worry, not me lol.

The sad part is that my other African-American peers are so blinded by it. They are some of the strongest in the religion. They just don't understand that the cult is really just a racist scam ran by WHITES... (have nothing against whites, I love my white homies) just sayin... Hell, the Nazi Party supported the church during the third reich. Shame...

All mormonism is is just a ripoff off freemasonry. Handshakes, temples, clothes... Google it if you're interested

Thanks for the reply's. I just want to make a few things clear. I didn't have sex just to leave the church. That wasn't even on my mind until later when I realized that I've "sinned one of the greatest sins." I'm 18 in a few days so that's why I put 17/18.

When I was younger I was apart of the church's seminary classes for high school students. Most the students in the class were white apart from a few Hispanics and Asians. I was the only black in the class. The teacher brought up the whole blacks in the priesthood issue. It was my first time hearing about it. He tried to avoid the topic but I began asking him simple questions like "if the chu

It's really just something mormons do as a setup to "invite" you to church.

I'm looking for some advice with this post. So I'm "Mormon" to my family. They think I'm the perfect Mormon 17/18 year old. In reality I'm really not and I believe the church is a cult. So me and this girl recently hooked up and lost our virginity and I considered it my act of parting the church (lol) and I feel like I should admit to my very Mormon mother that I just hit a girl up so I
