Kindle Notes & Highlights
To give the blacks the priesthood without a new revelation or “manifesto” also means implicit repudiation of the Book of Abraham.
The Mormons have never ceased to proselyte eagerly among American Indians, despite the fact that without miscegenation Indian converts do not become, as Book, of Abraham, I, 23, 24, 27. Joseph Smith promised in an implicitly hostile phrase, “a white and delightsome people.”
If the Mormon Church does not modify its racist practices, it seems likely that its future converts in large part will continue to come, as they have been in recent years, from right-wing groups who are hostile to black people under any circumstances.
