And romney never did, so there u go. His Dad was a huge civil rights champion, and instilled that in him.

You absolutely cannot be a civil rights champion while belonging to a church that teaches that and teaches that it is gods will

Check out kabaservice’s book.

And yet he was Sorry, people are complicated www.michigan.gov/mdcr/news/re...

None of that matters as long as he stays a member. We could call the klan a religion too, and it would not absolve anyone of being part of it. Going along with blatant anti-black discrimination unequivocally rules out any civil rights bonafides

That’s a ridiculous comparison

He was instrumental in civil rights reforms in Michigan and fought vehemently against the goldwater takeover of his party. But no, he doesn’t meet the standards of the high priests of anti racism, circa 2025

He was perfectly happy to give them jobs on earth while denying them the ability to be fully Mormon and experience the afterlife. And again, I suggest reading up on their teachings about black people, this is not a 2025 standard they were violating

How so? How familiar are you with their teachings on black people from that era? And the main point is that the only reason we give them a pass is because it’s a religious belief. But anything can be a religious belief, it’s not a trump card

Believing and/or staying a member of an organization teaching that as the divine word of god. Staying is indistinguishable from believing in my eyes. There are dealbreakers

In that case there’s nothing i can say. Read up on george romney and tell me what u think.

It’s important to know the specifics of the faith, and what their restrictions actually did. It wasn’t just problematic rhetoric, they were denying people the core part of the faith that was required for the afterlife. It didn’t matter if he didn’t agree, the restrictions meant they were denied

Sure

I am very familiar with his history, I didn’t come to this stance trivially. Black people could not enter the temple, and could never be fully Mormon, particularly in the afterlife which is what matters. He was ok with that and that diminishes anything he did or believed about their time on earth

Well he did a hell of a lot more than me or you
