what was the scriptural basis for Mormons believing that Blacks were demons/devils? and how was that Mormon doctrine reversed?
I'm not sure about Mormonism, Gets. But most people who use the Bible as an excuse to hate dark skinned people usually refer to the "Mark of Cain" in Genesis.
Of course it all stems from a poor Biblical translation. But any excuse will do for some people, right?
Thanks, pizza.
Ivy knows what I'm getting at though. An interpretation of a passage is one thing. Explicitly saying that Blacks are demons/devils as part of the doctrine/belief system is something else.
My cousins told me that Protestant missionaries used to go to Haiti and teach the mark of Cain nonsense to a country FULL of Black people, and have the Barry Gibb looking image of JC in tow. The entire full court press of propaganda.
