Mormons claim the reality of God is a man with a physical body. Because Smith had this vision of God, it has been assumed ever since god resembled a white new englander Yankee.
Ezra Taft Benson, the 13th president and prophet of the church, while never described "God" in any detail (it is assumed the prophets confer with deities from time to time), he did deliver many, many diatribes against the "*****", all faithfully recorded in many church owned books and magazines.
Had God been not white, he most certainly would have corrected Benson about the priesthood thing, of which god invented, nor that god himself was not to be considered un-valiant in his own 'pre-existence'. Maybe Benson didn't notice.
Being that mormonism is completely fabricated from the imagination of a white mal-educated country boy who absorbed folktales, popular thought, offbeat christian teachings and had an aversion to working for a living, this is hardly unexpected.
So, you are quite correct. Mormonism is indeed 'crazy'.

at first, darkish pores and skin isn't seen a curse in modern-day situations. And in biblical situations the curse could have been pink hair or purple eyes. It in basic terms occurred to be darkish pores and skin. that's no longer saying that all and sundry darkish skinned each and every person is cursed. It became a thank you to cut up the Laminites from the Nephites. I lived in the Dominican Republic for a 365 days and a 0.5. i became a minority being Caucasian. There the Dominicans disliked the darker skinned Haitians, because of the fact the Hatians had even darker pores and skin then the Dominicans. My mom made a remark to me that it became all somewhat stupid. And whilst in comparison with God we are all darkish. God isn't white or Caucasian. he's mild. Even Caucasians might seem darkish whilst in comparison with God. that's fairly stupid to be judging human beings via their pores and skin shade.

Anyone who says God is a white man is just ignorant, and I doubt that anyone who was a reasonably educated Mormon, or Christian of any denomination, would tell you that. Whoever said that was probably a kid, or a bigot.
In the first place, God, by definition, is not a man but a supernatural, asexual supreme being (even though the Bible, written by men, refers to God in the masculine gender).
Second, God, being a supernatural being and not a physical entity is not "white" or "black" or any other race, not even "Jewish" (though according to the Bible Jesus was born into the Jewish/Hebrew race, the "chosen people of God").
Anyone who believes in the Biblical concept of God cannot ascribe human traits to Him because He is not human.

Lav, only Moses stood on Holy Ground in front of GOD and HE presented himself as a "Burrning Bush" !!!JESUS was a Nazarene, born in Bethlehem, THE SON OF GOD, GOD, and THE HOLY SPIRIT all rolled into ONE!!! IF YOU CAN ACCEPT THIS and the fact that HE died for your sins so that you might someday stand before GOD and all sins washed away. Now are you going to stand before HIM and say something like "This is a racist thing"? In Heaven we are all brothers and race as played by the likes of Jessie and Al will fade away as we are all HIS children. So don't let racism raise it's poisonous head and destroy your soul!!!!!

God has to be some color. I doubt that he is all colors. So, if he is one color, does that mean he is racist to all other colors? I imagine him as a "Heavenly White" color, but could be wrong. A color that nobody is here on Earth. So, you think that the mormon you spoke with has a crazy opinion. What color do you think he is? Is your opinion crazy then as well?

God is not white in that He is Caucasian.

Why do you care what such a small sect thinks? Also, you might want to work on your grammar.
