I was raised Southern Baptist.. like Huckabee, and you know there were NO BLACKS, in any White Southern Baptist Churches, in the same era.

The difference is that Southern Baptists do not have any underlying DOCTRINE behind any of their racism. Furthermore, Southern Baptists have reached out to African-Americans, as well as other ethnicities and now their seminaries are completely integrated.

Mormonism's underlying doctrine is that blacks descended from Cain and are thus still "dark and loathsome." The doctrine teaches that when a black man has truly undergone "faith, repentance and baptism," that he will become "white and delightsome." This doctrine has never been changed, in spite of the fact that the LDS Church now allows blacks to hold the priesthood.

I will vote for Romney if he is the nominee, but lets not whitewash the LDS church in order to elect him.

I'm on record as saying that I would never vote for Rudy or Mitt, even in the general but when crunch time comes, I will most likely fold on that position because of the prospect of another rat in the white house, whether it's Hillary, Obama or Edwards or any other rat.

In the mean time we still have 2 conservative candidates in the running (I didn't say perfect) but conservative none the less. Thompson or Hunter.

The SBC was founded in 1845 in Augusta, Georgia, by Baptists in the South seceding from the national Triennial Convention of Baptists after that body decreed it would not appoint slaveholders as missionaries. Currently about 500,000 members of the 15.6-million-member denomination are African-Americans and another 300,000 are ethnic minorities. Since 1980 most of the growth in Southern Baptist churches has been among racial and ethnic minorities. The racism resolution marked the denomination's first formal acknowledgment that racism played a role in its founding.

So did the Mormons own black slaves too?

SBC renounces racist past - Southern Baptist Convention
Christian Century, July 5, 1995
THE SOUTHERN Baptist Convention voted June 20 to adopt a resolution renouncing its racist roots and apologizing for its past defense of slavery. On its opening day the convention altered its planned order of business in order to consider the statement of repudiation and repentance, prior to a celebration of the SBC’s 150th anniversary the same evening. More than 20,000 Southern Baptists registered for the June 20-22 meeting at Atlanta’s Georgia Dome.
