I am Mormon. We do not discriminate on the basis of race. You might run into some quotes from the 19th century which may appear questionable, but there are people from all races and colors in the Church. When I was a missionary, I had a black missionary companion, for example. In fact, the Church is growing very quickly in Africa right now. Half of the Church speak Spanish, and they are in Mexico, Central America, and South America. Have a happy day, and I send you a multi-colored virtual gummy bear.

Mormons believe Jesus & Lucifer are spirit babes of Father God (Elohim). They also believe the human race was once spirit babes of Father God (Elohim). The bad spirit babes are born blacker and the good spirit babes born whiter.
That is a Mormon belief and is written in their books. That is one of the many erronious beliefs they have.
I believe Jesus Christ is the Word of God. Elohim (God) is the Father, Word & Holy Spirit. And by Elohim all creation is created. Lucifer didn't create anything. Lucifer is a created winged Cherabim, who was created perfect & beautiful, but he had a pride problem, and made himself as a God and usurping Gods identity.
It is true that God created all of us first in Gods thinking. All things are invisible before visible. But God loves diversity, so all people are different variations of color also. No one is identical. Not even identical twins, etc...
DrLinds website is an accurate one.
Also, to correct the teaching that Hams descendants are black & cursed. It is written that Noah cursed Hams youngest (Ham isn't Noahs youngest), Canaan, because of what Hams youngest did to him when Noah drank too much fermented grape juice. It doesn't write what Canaan did. But the descendents of Canaan became very idolatrious and sexually imoral and also sacrificed their children through the fire to their Gods. Also, the Canaanites were white. Joyce Meyer once clarified this in one of her shows.

Yes, in a way, they do -- it's because Ham, Noah's son (of Noah's Ark) was cursed and blacks are among his descendants. So until now, most, if not all believe that blacks are somehow inferior -- they forget that in the Bible ALL are treated equally with no favoritism no matter what the race or sex.
The weird thing is, their discrimination is only directed to blacks -- they don't discriminate against asians, latin americans, and the like...

If they believe that white people are the superior race then I feel sorry for them. I don't like anybody who are racist. That's horrible to have a racist religion. We are all God's children. Nobody is better than the other. That makes me mad. We should be striving to have equality and not by telling people that God said that white's are superior. What bullshit.

There is a clip on Google video that compares the Bible to the Book of Mormon. This is very informing and will thoroughly answer your questions....
If the link doesnt work just go to google video and search "Bible vs. Mormon"
