I am hurt by your statement that the Mormon church(as an institution)

 at the current moment carries out racism against Blacks worldwide.  It does 
 not.  I realize you have been deeply hurt, and I am truly very sorry.  




To continue to characterize Spencer Kimball's directive finally allowing Blacks 
to be treated  equal to Whites
 ( Oh thank you kindly masser) in one of the churches most important areas
 (if not the most) as a "revelation" is nothing less than racism.  

Even the Baptist church has apologized and has admitted that it was just plain 
wrong. 

The mormon church needs to eliminate all racism from it's doctrine ,admit that 
it was wrong 
and apologize before it will not be considered racist until then
, it "carries out racism against Blacks worldwide" as an institution!  
We should not even be having this discussion in this supposedly modern world.

Here is a question right off the website that I originally posted: 

"Question: Blacks and other non-Caucasians still possess "dark skins" 

which Mormonism alleges to be an indication of inferiority, a mark of 
unworthiness in the pre-existence. 

Does this mean that the Mormon priesthood is now available to the "unworthy and 
inferior," 
as well as to those self-proclaimed "worthy and superior" individuals whom 
God has allegedly rewarded with "white and delightsome" skins?"

I don't know what else you call this.
