There have been black members for over 170 years, so I think it is going pretty well.

Hi friend. Internationally, "integration" is going phenomenally well. I served a mission in Brazil and had several black bishops there. In Africa, of course, most Mormons are black as well.
In the United States, there are also many black members of the LDS Church. In some "black neighborhoods," most of the people in the pews on Sunday are African Americans. In my own congregation, we have several African Americans (including my wife), as well as Asians, Hispanics, Jews, etc.
That having been said, because of incorrect information, many African Americans mistakenly think that Mormonism is a "white church." This perception is changing as high-profile African Americans like Gladys Knight join the church. Most Mormons in the United States would love to see more African American Mormons.

It is going somewhat well. Booming in Africa, mild success in the US, but many in the US leave because members are still teaching pre 1978 false teachings regarding Blacks. It is common to have the "Blacks are or were cursed" talk in Sunday School. Darius Gray and Marvin Perkins have put out a DVD that details all of the scriptures on the issues. It is amazing and answers all of the questions without debate by using the scriptures. It's called Blacks in the Scriptures. www.blacksinthescriptures.com

Our country is at war now and we need a true leader to guide us through the perilous times ahead. Mitt Romney is exactly the kind of person we need to run this country. Before any of us were born, we all lived together in Heaven with Heavenly Father. Some of us rebelled and started a war with those who were faithful . This event was called "The War in Heaven". Eventually the bad guys lost and became demons . the good guys won and were born with white skin here on Earth. Those who did not fight very hard or were indifferent were born on Earth with dark skin. The bravest of the brave leaders of the Lords Army were born here on Earth with White skin to good Mormon families.
During the war, Romney must have been one of the top Commanding Generals. Just look at his awe inspiring persona and strong Mormon family. Amerika needs General Romney to help us win the war on terror and bring Salvation to the world. Vote Romney in '08.

Black congregations of Mormons exist throughout the world. There are Mormon temples erected in many African countries.
There have been black Mormons since its founding over 150 years ago.
I would say, quite well.

Well we have millions of black members of the church in America, Cuba, Brazil and Africa, and every year many more join the church where they will be loved and respected as the children of God they are.

Not as well as anticipated, but the Samoans are doing way better than expected.
I used to live in SLC Utah and every sunday you would see hundreds of Samoans in traditional garb walking to the Tabernacle. It was something out of a fairy tale.

Well, for starters, they have their own website: http://www.blacklds.org/
There are hundereds of thousands of black members of the LDS Church, and that website, along with lds.org, and mormon.org, will have all the information you need regarding your question.
