Doesn't every religion get periodic updates from God? What is, the New Testament.

It has nothing to do with my ego (how could it be there were millions demonstrating against racism) any more than the war protests were about my ego, or the civil rights movement, or for that matter the entire counter culture movement.

And yes, all the uproar stimulated awareness about racism and BYU was forced to get a revelation from god.

Shit, I thought that was common knowledge.

And you want to side with the U of Arizona? There's a progressive bunch -lol.

It was pure, blatant racism. What in the world are you thinking?

"Our protests were the reason the Mormon church got NEW (lol) instructions from god that Blacks were no longer being denied the priesthood based on their race."

Sure they were. Puncture your ego. Your role mostly exists in your head.

Aside from Stanford and San Jose State, nobody paid. We were all fighting the war.

In the 1970s, several schools protested against BYU, claiming it was a racist organization — Stanford and San José State both refusing to play the university in sports. In 1970, the University of Arizona sent a “fact-finding committee” to determine if BYU was racist, finding that “rhetoric had escalated too far” with regards to racism and the Western Athletic Conference. The BYU newspaper The Daily Universe reported that Arizona's committee determined that BYU was not racist, but was an “isolated institution whose members simply do not relate to or understand black people.” BYU football players were met by 75 picketers demonstrating against racism at BYU when they played Arizona a week after the report.
