Exactlyyyyy....... Obviously Blacks have not exactly been welcomed in Utah during it’s 160 year history, and were never “invited.”

The last 30 years since the LDS Church ended its discriminatory practices, we have seen a few more. We are probably all the way up to 5% of the population.

What are YOU doing to get more blacks up there?

You sound like the people who were angry the Olympics were being held in Utah because the state wasn’t “racially diverse” enough. As if that’s one of the criteria for having a successful event.

There aren’t many blacks in Utah for the same reason there aren’t many in the Dakotas, Wyoming, or Idaho. Blacks are concentrated in the South or in very large cities. Salt Lake City ain’t exactly a megalopolis.

There are ton of reasons to vote against Mitt, but the Mormon church’s thankfully discarded racial policy isn’t one of them.
