Subject: John Grigg's excuses for prejudice and racism in the mormon church
Date: Sun, 18 Aug 2002 16:33:59 -0700

To John Grigg



The probablem with excusing  prejudice in one area is that the same arguments 
can be used in other areas like cryonics. 
Just look at what the media has called us.
People are prejudiced against cryonicists for some of the same reasons that 
the mormon church has continued it's racism against Blacks worldwide.

The real question is do you think that the way that the mormon church treated 
Blacks was wrong.

 (Like prohibiting interracial dating at brigam Young University in the 70's.)
 
If so, do you think it was wrong for the church not to have apologized and 
admitted that what it did was wrong?
"Yes" or "No" will do just fine.



Please do not rewrite my past. It was "many mormons" not "a few" as you have 
stated after all I should know I was there! 

From your post about the Black bishop I guess you are not black and therefore 
would not be the subject of  racism and 

so to you there is not much racism in the mormon church. You don't see it 
because most of the encounters

 that you observe are either Black-Black or White-White because Blacks comprise 
 only 10% of the population.

 The probability of a Black encountering a White is much higher than you 
 encountering a Black.
