I don't believe in anything in the Mormon religion but as vigilantly as they prosetlyze to the world, there has to be a percentage. But it's arrogant to think that every single Native American or African American is Mormon, or even most.

There are many members of all races and ethnic backgrounds that are Mormon, or are members of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. There are church buildings all around the world on all continents, as well as temples, which are very special places to those of the LDS Faith.
Some of the first missionaries of the LDS church were to Native Americans, Hawaiians and the Pacific Islanders, which are considered to be descendents of the people written about in the Book of Mormon.
To clarify a little bit about the Book of Mormon. Yes, it chronicles the escape from Jerusalem of Lehi and his family. However, his family is not Jewish (from the tribe of Judah), but of the tribe of Joseph. That would make them Isrealites and followers of the Mosaic Law and Jehovah, which is Jesus Christ.

Of course! There are members of every race, ethnicity, background, color...whatever. I have four adopted cousins that are all LDS, one African-American, one African-American/white, and two from the Martial Islands.
We don't discriminate, we invite all mankind to come unto Christ.
It was also prophesied by Joseph Smith that the gospel would spread to ALL the world, there are very few countries the missionaries are not allowed to "proselyte" in yet, but they will eventually...

of course--in the bible belt--there are mormon communities wher it is the only religion--they even had a supreme court thing so that mormon churches would be forced to allow minorities into the clergy

The Mormon religion is a very dangerous cult. It teaches that Jesus and Lucifer are brothers . God was a man who by works became a God. It also teaches that Jesus was a human man who became a God and anyone can become God and have their own planet and have spirit children.
