I think we would agree that discrimination is wrong wherever it is found. However, I think you have to ask whether discrimination is in accord with scripture? You can’t justify discrimination in the Bible, but Momon prophets made it established policy.

IOW, Christians practiced discrimination contrary to scripture; Mormons practiced because it was doctrine of the LDS prophets.

This statement does an excellent job of summarizing the main point of contention in this debate.

It is therefore worth repeating.

I don't know why that is so hard for some to understand.

However, did Mormons practice this discrimination in things other than their church? I guess I would be less worried about it if it was only confined to church issues. Heck that would be a blessing to blacks IMO to be excluded from a false religion. But then that's just me (and... well... others...)
