OH yes! it exists as surely as the constitution says Slaves were not full citizens. Even though I know there are slave owners that will have less of a resurrection then a slave.

The Negroes are not equal with other races where the receipt of certain blessings are concerned, particularly the priesthood and the temple blessings that flow there from, but this inequality is not of man's origin, it is the Lord's doings." (Mormon Doctrine, pp. 526-527).

"Had I anything to do with the *****, I would confine them by strict law to their own species, and put them on a national equalization" (Joseph Fielding Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 270; History of the Church, 5: 218

“The rank, rabid ABOLITIONISTS, whom I call BLACK-HEARTED Republicans, have set the whole national fabric on fire.”

I think maybe you should start at the Mormon website.
I personally, have a problem with the aquthenticity of the book of Mormon.
I was once told by a Mormon, that the Book of Mormon was the testament of Jesus to the peoples of America. Yet they all died in a civil war. Later, when the Europeans came to the New Wolrd, they already had the Bible, which was the testament to them. So I do not understand why they would need this other testament. And if they did, why is it the Mormon testament was not given to them?
Really, the whole Mormon thing is riddled with holes.

Show the proof if you know it exists! This fabrication is yet another attempt to discredit Joseph Smith and the Mormon Church.

One of the reasons why Missourians disliked the Mormons so was because the LDS Church refused to back Missouri on the slavery issue. Mormons did not preach racism then and the Church does not do it now. Mormons voted overwhelmingly against slavery and Missouri reacted vehemently.

Does this sound like racism was taught by the Church?

Not on your life! Stop spreading malicious lies when you have nothing to back it up.

Note: President Kimball, in 1978, reversed the inability of certain ethnic men to have access to the priesthood and its blessings. Since that time, all men, regardless of race or ethnicity, may be admitted into the priesthood of God.
