<<Are the Mormons killing each other in gun battles? Roughing up store owners? Committing strong arm robberies?>>

I object to the negative broad brush she was applying to African American's like they were some sort of inherently bad people. That is racism.

Their only problems I see are the result of being beaten up for so long.

Most African Americans are decent wonderful people who have had the shit end of the stick most of their lives. I lived among them for much of my life.

And they do not teach their children racism, sexism and homophobia as a culture which the Mormons do.

Children raised thinking racism, sexism and homophobia are Ok does not seem to be producing healthy children to me. What those children are really taught is to conform to a dysfunctional culture. That breaks my heart. I have seen those kids and sure they are clean cut, but their perception of the world is tiny, dogmatic and lacks sensitivity to other peoples feelings like the gay community, women and minorities.

If any other group taught their children racism, sexism and homophobia we would be all over them.

That is not acceptable.
