Jim, Your naivety on the issue of Christianity and Blacks is only exceeded by your willingness to share your proclivity of denial of the subject.
The largest Christian denomination in this country is the Southern Baptist, an organization formed for the sole purpose that Blacks could be sold into slavery, families split up and spread to others that wanted their own personal slave or slaves, families that were never again to be family units-- individuals that could never share their family values because they had no family to share anything with. The only thing Blacks had to offer the bigots were the sweat off their brow, and Black woman the use of their vaginas for the likes of Strom Thurman. As I was so ruefully reminded one night as I sat in a beer joint with my First Sergeant of my Army company, I asked him what he thought about the couple dancing on the dance floor…a white soldier and a black lady. His response is stamped in my mind as if it happened a second ago. This bastion of his First Baptist Church responded, “ I would F*** that black *itch, but I be G** D*** if I would dance with her!”
The fastest growing “cult” religion in this country today is the Mormon Church, so what did their founders think about Blacks?
Joseph Smith first president, prophet, and founder of the Mormon Church: Had I anything to do with the negro, I would confine them by strict law to their own species, and put them on a national equalization" (Joseph Fielding Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 270; History of the Church, 5: 218; emphasis added). "Thursday, 8--Held Mayor's court and tried two negroes for attempting to marry two white women: fined one $25, and the other $5" (ibid., 6: 210). and the rebellious niggers in the slave states. . . " (Millennial Star, 22:602; emphasis added). When Mormon Historians reprinted this in the History of the Church, they change it to read: "and the rebellious negroes in the slave states. . . " (History of the Church, 6:158; emphasis added).
Brigham Young second President and Prophet: 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. Cain might have been killed, and that would put a termination to that line of human beings. This was not to be, and the Lord put a mark upon him, which was the flat nose and black skin. Trace mankind down to after the flood, and then another cursed is pronounced upon the same race--that they should be the "servants of servants;" and they will be until that curse is removed; and the Abolitionists cannot help it, nor in the least alter that decree (Journal of Discourses, 7:290; emphasis added) 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 (ibid., 10:110; emphasis added)
Brigham Young stated that his sermons (as cited above) are Scripture: I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of man, that they may not call Scripture (ibid., 13:95).
Jim, take your bigotry elsewhere, what is the next step…will we merely get down to the level that we will be just referring to them as NIGGERS, as Joseph Smith did? |
