Newt Gingrich would have simply said, ok, what is the mark of Cain? That should have at least silenced the person asking the question since the general thought of society until a few decades ago was that black skin was the mark of Cain.
Often the answer isn’t nearly as important as the question.
“...ok, what is the mark of Cain?...the general thought of society until a few decades ago was that black skin was the mark of Cain.”
Weren’t Cain’s descendant lost in the Flood? Aren’t we all descended from Noah?
Some people may have thought that, but it certainly was not the general thought of society.

Which still does not excuse the racism in Mormonism since they claim that they are the ‘restored’ church and that their prophets receive direct revelation from God.
Unless you are claiming that GOD is a racist...
Ah...
I see you've had MORMON training...
You're joking, right? You must either have forgotten the sarcasm tag or you are so steeped in Mormonism that you don't realize that this is a UNIQUE (and insane) belief of Mormons only, completely fabricated out of thin air.
Christians know the mark, according to the bible, was for Cain's protection, and we are not told what form it took.
