Romney isn’t going to use his Mormonism to go after black people. That’s how Obama and Jones think about the white, but not Romney.
This from the same people who give credence to Farakhan’s fairy tale of the Mothership.
Listen. I'm a descendent from Mormons. Pre-1978 -- the year they made their change "official" re: blacks -- I didn't see them "go after black people" then, either.
What I have observed is the Mormon tendency to exclude blacks due to race. Let me give you some Mormon leader quotes as examples:
While there was no restriction on blacks joining the LDS Church, there was no direct effort to evangelize them. Apostle Bruce McConkie, writing in 1958, declared: Negroes in this life are denied the priesthood; under no circumstances can they hold this delegation of authority from the Almighty. The gospel message of salvation is not carried affirmatively to them . . . Negroes are not equal with other races where the receipt of certain spiritual blessings are concerned . . . (Mormon Doctrine, by Bruce McConkie, Bookcraft, 1958 edition, p. 477; changed in later editions). William E. Berrett, Vice Administrator of the Brigham Young University, explained: "...no direct efforts have been made to proselyte among them" (Mormonism and the Negro, by John J. Stewart, supplement by William E. Berrett, Horizon, 1978, part 2, p. 65).

Romney is already an exclusionary kind of guy...he's already gone on record saying he wouldn't put a Muslim on his Cabinet: Remember when Romney said he wouldn’t put a Muslim in the cabinet? He made his Mormonism relevant
And if Romney could/can make such political decisions on the basis of somebody's religion (just as most FREEPERS would be wary of a Muslim POTUS candidate), why do Mormons somehow think that religion is suddenly "irrelevant?"
Romney was 31 in 1978. For his first 13 adult years, not a seeming "peep" over the Mormon church's exclusionary doctrines, beliefs & tactics.
That tells me that Romney will just "go along" with whatever his leaders tell him (to do)...or NOT (to do).
So, you actually have it backwards: It's not...
...Romney using his Mormonism to necessarily do anything.
Instead, one of the threats is...
...Mormonism (more specifically, his "prophet"...
...somebody we probably don't even know much about...'cause we could be talking about 2016 or 2019)...
...using Romney to...[fill in the blank]
