Look , you are talking to a Southern Baptist raised in Georgia, who lived in Colorado and Massachusetts, who is now Methodist... and the reason Utah and Colorado are whiter than the South, is because Black Slavery existed in the South before the Civil war and not in Utah or Colorado..duh!
There are more blacks in Colorado. I asked about UTAH specifically. There are blacks in Nevada, Arizona, New Mexido, California, Washington, Kansas....how about UTAH?
30 years after the LDS Church ended its discriminatory practices, we finally forced some to come here after hurricane Katrina.
Wow, we are such a loving and inclusive people. But we DO have plenty of polynesians. We THOUGHT they were descendants of Hebrews and so we brought them here, and then DNA and.....oopsie......

Well, actually, there is another reason you don’t see any blacks in Utah. They weren’t invited, weren’t sought for conversion. Missionaries were sent abroad in the nineteenth century to “pure and delightsome Europe for converts to bring back to Utah.
Here is a quotation of Heber C. Kimball, from The Lion of the Lord:
“I love the Danes dearly! he bragged to Ludlow. “I’ve got a Danish wife.” Turning to a rough carpenter working nearby, Kimball asked, “you know Christiny, eh, Brother Spudge?” “Oh yes, I know her very well,” came the answer. Kimball paused then added: “The Irish are dear people My Irish wife is among the best I’ve got.” He halted again. “I love the Germans, got a Dutch wife too! Know Katrine, Bro. Spudge? Remember she couldn’t scarecely talk a word o’ English when she come — eh, Bro. Spudge?”
