Romney Team Delays "Mormon Speech"

Eric,

The difference is that the media and other critics will not let go of their obsession with Romney and his religion. Romney's answered all these things over and over again. Yet the media keeps asking the same questions as if they never heard the answers.

Now that Huckabee has new-found prominence and viability, hopefully he'll get the scrutiny he deserves as he's running as the religious conservative who also happens to be not a Mormon. A not so subtle pitch that seems to be working Iowa.

Well, we've heard all the white versions of why Romney's Mormonism "shouldn't matter."

Of course Romney's "Mormonism" matters, especially to people of color. The media doesn’t seem to pick up on the fact there’s overt RACISM in the Book of Mormon itself—and how that makes people of color feel watching this being swept aside as “no big deal.” Perhaps these pundits are ignorant to that fact or perhaps because they are white it doesn’t bother them. A very large portion of the Evangelical Christians are black and people of color. Christians don’t only denounce Mormonism because it is a cult, more specifically it’s because the Book of Mormon, which Mormons consider their “bible,” STILL contains overt racist “scriptures” against people with “dark skin.”

The Book of Mormon that Romney believes and supports, states that God curses certain individuals with dark skin; the races are determined by how worthy individuals were prior to this mortal life; and blacks were not as faithful in their first estate; that God cursed people with dark skin to keep them from interbreeding with their white brethren; and that God blessed some who repented with white skin. Nothing concerning the revelation in 1978 to give "all worthy males members" the priesthood invalidates or denounces those racist beliefs.
SOURCES: (Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation 1:61-7; McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 527-8; Alma 3:6-9; 2 Ne. 5:21-4; and 3 Ne. 2:14-6).

Now, if Romney were to denounce the Book of Mormon, that would be a different story.

So next time anyone reports on why Evangelical Christians don’t accept Romney due to his Mormonism, be sure to include one of the biggest reasons: RACISM in the Book of Mormon. Otherwise, you’re just not reporting the whole truth.

The guy here talking about book of mormon being racist should read the book, for he hasn't done so.
Book of mormon talks about how Christ wont forbit anyone to come unto him, neither white or black or male and female.

Book of mormon doesn't mention anything about the pre-existence nor peoples ability to be obedient there, nor does any official church doctrine(mormon doctrine isn't an official church doctrine book)
The curse for the lamanites was red skin as we know the indinas have, but the author of that particular book in the compilation of 15 books in the coleection of books known as book of mormon, said they had a skin of blackness to separete them. But God also chastises them(whites for theyr racist feelings and says that they(red skinned) will be more blessed and the whites cursed if they don't stop theyr prejudices.

So the book of mormon gives a good moral teaching to our era where racial predujice is so common everywhere.

It was the christians who in america supported slavery by appealing to the bible, where Noah curses the posterity of Canaan(son of Ham) because of an act Haam did, and there he says that canaan will be the servant of the servants to his brothers.
Tradition says in christendom that Canaan's descentants are the african blacks, and that they are supposedly cursed to be slaves and so on.

Mormons don't believe in this neither does the book of mormon.

I don't believe that Mitt Romney either.

Get your facts right before you go wild about nothing.
