they don't believe that black people are human and therefore not worthy of salvation. Its really sad. But actually the LDS are catching on in mexico and central america.

Yes. At least a third of the members are black and hispanic. There are 2 million in South America and probably over 300,000 in Africa. More than half the members life outside the USA.

Sure there are. There are temples all over South America, and at least one, maybe two in Africa, not to mention there are lots of hispanic and black members here in North America. There are some hispanic members in Europe too, and I would think some black members in Europe as well.
We as members of a religion are NOT racists. I'm sure there are some members who are racist, but that's speaks to them personally and not to Mormons in general. We believe that we are all Heavenly Father's children.

Yes. There are at least 1 million Church members in Mexico alone. There are at least 65 Spanish-speaking wards and branches in the Salt Lake City area alone. In fact, last I heard, just over half the Church (so something like 5.8 to 6 million) members speak Spanish as their native language. As for black Church members, we had one who has a singing career speak just a few weeks ago, and two of my favorite missionaries I knew while serving as a missionary were black, one from England and one from Grenada, and they were both very talented and intelligent. I would think the Spanish-speaking members appreciate the Book of Mormon in addition to the Bible as most of them come from the lands where the Book of Mormon took place. The blacks in general are coming in because it is time for their leadership skills to be developed to a higher extent. Have a happy day, and I send you a multi-colored gummy bear.

Open your eyes, LDS is all over the world.
For those who think we are racist, why don't you go ask the different nationality members, why they stay in the church.

Man made religion just before civil war. Joey decided to 'hate black people' while boffing everybody's wife in his church.
Don't take them as anything but a highly organized gang. That's all they are.

Joseph Smith....FALSE. The whole religion is one big joke. It is not true. I know from experience. I was married to one,he liked using the ''N'' word. I almost fell for the lies and was going to baptized. I am glad that I was saved in time.I'ts a weird,racist,cult.
