Does anyone have anymore quotes from Brigham Young (Mormonism) about blacks?

Brigham Young comments about blacks


"You see some classes of the human family that are black, uncouth, uncomely, disagreeable and low in their habits, wild, and seemingly deprived of nearly all the blessings of the intelligence that is generally bestowed upon mankind....Cain slew his brother. Can might have been killed, and that would have put a termination to that line of human beings. This was not to be, and the Lord put a mark upon him, which is the flat nose and black skin." (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 7, page 290).


"In our first settlement in Missouri, it was said by our enemies that we intended to tamper with the slaves, not that we had any idea of the kind, for such a thing never entered our minds. We knew that the children of Ham were to be the "servant of servants," and no power under heaven could hinder it, so long as the Lord would permit them to welter under the curse and those were known to be our religious views concerning them." (Journal of Discourses, Volume 2, page 172.)


"Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so." (Journal of Discourses, Volume 10, page 110.)

Why limit this to Brighham? Why not include Ezra Taft Benson, Joseph Fielding Smith, Bruce R McConkie, Mark E Peterson and John Taylor? Quoting the latter, "And after the flood we are told that the curse that had been pronounced upon Cain was continued through Ham's wife, as he had married a wife of that seed. And why did it pass through the flood? Because it was necessary that the devil should have a representation upon the earth as well as God" (Journal of Discourses 22:304).





Representative of the Devil? How democratic can you get?





That damned old Journal of Discourses. What a book!
Reply:Yes, that's it. Pick on one of the few religions who distanced themselves from the slave trade....they were the real 'racists' weren't they...

People. get a grip, and get a life!


As a Mormon, and human being, I have never ascribed to the view of looking down on, or judging anyone, whether they be , black, yellow, or brown, or red, or white! I don't care what color your skin is! I do not feel this way!


There are a lot of views that my church has, that I don't agree! This one, if true, would be at the head of the list!


The other is their politics! The major portion of the Church's members are Republicans! (Oh, well )


I am a Democrat! And a liberal, too! So I guess that makes me a rebel! But I can handle the flack!


And I will say this again! Find another church to find fault with!


How about unrealistic celibacy for priests?


And all the rest of you God-fearing Christians who believe you have a right to attack someone else's church just because they have tenets, or views, or beliefs that don't co-incide with your views!


One of t he things we believe is that our Prophet gets revelations from God today! Don't you think we need counsel today, with sex, drugs, prevalent on every media, and crime at an all time high? I do! But because we believe that


He gets word from God today, does that make us so bad?


Where is it written in the Bible that God can not speak to us, whenever He wants to, and just who among you, are going to tell Him, that He can't do it?


Isn't gonna be me!


So, go ahead, and be my guest! YOU TELL HIM!


But, whatever you do, leave us alone, and go pick on somebody else!
Reply:Its True the first leaders of the Mormon chruch were racist.
