What does it NOT have to do with the racist CULT we were born into and indoctrinated to believe? We grew up in a church that actively discriminated against black people by denying them entry into the temple, just because they were black. And we were ok with that. Our whole families didn't see any problem with that. Women were never required to have the priesthood to enter a temple, so why den

Do what works and forget everything else. Listen to what our DNA tells us. If we did, it would debunk the myth that whites are superior to any other race. If you look at test scores, it ain't white people at the top of every standardized test. It's Asians. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2020/12/01/sat-math-scores-mirror-and-maintain-racial-inequity/ Harvard is getting sued

I have not heard what laws have changed to make it easier to sue them. I just know 20yrs ago my friends sued the abusive CULT and were each awarded millions, in an out of court settlement which included a Non-Disclosure Agreement, so they can’t talk about it. I just know they all retired long before me with multiple homes in secluded places with no money worries for the rest of their lives. T

The ingredients are there, including amino acids, necessary for building DNA structures, which was a big question I have been asked by creationists,”How’d life start in the first place?” My answer up until now has been,”Well viruses are not considered life forms, since they cannot reproduce independent from bacteria or other life forms as hosts, but they do carry DNA and RNA, the geneti

This manual is based on the racist Book of Mormon, which claims that the American Indians (“Lamanites”) got their skin color from the “cursing” of God. One verse says, “... the Lord God did cause a skin of blackne

Everybody did. Maybe they just finally empathized with the Asians and Africans who looked at those stereotypical negative depictions of them in famous children’s books and decided to romove them to avoid getting dragged all over the internet and in media. Now they’re getting dragged by Right Wing Media/ real racists/fascists, like this MORmON.

It ain’t just the titles, it’s questioning Archie’s skin tone and how it will look in photos. I always thought of them as out of touch with reality, naturally, but disparaging a kid for his skin tone before he is even born, when he’s 3/4 white and we are all 99.9% genetically identical anyways? I have no problem checking the African box when my ancestors came from there not so long ago.

St. George is covered in golf courses. And Vegas relies on Lake Powell, in UT, so St. George is fighting to get a pipeline btw them and Lake Powell. Good luck fighting over scarce resources. They should all move to where there is plenty of fresh water.

True, that's something I just heard, but didn't verify. I corrected it, which doesn't change my main point one iota, racism should come as no surprise in such a deeply racist outdated institution.

It’s not the ‘Cult of Wokeness’ burning books and Mr. Potatohead, it’s the manufacturers who decided it was best to discontinue publishing racist depictions of Africans and Asians, which is probably just out of greed, due to wanting to sell books to Africans and Asians, instead of alienating two entire continents full of potential customers.

Yep. Racism is alive and well in the UK and in the US. Who knew that the British Monarchy, which financed the slave trade and subjugated and exploited black and brown people all over the globe, would still be racist in the 21st Century?
