The USA has a very low test for tolerance of difference. Simply because religious dogma indicates racism is permitted does not mean it is tolerated by the greater society.
....Again, (click title to entry - thank you) there seem to be an awful lot of parallels between Mormonism and Christianity. Then I researched the racist angle. Before 1978, Blacks weren't non-existent but pretty scarce in the Mormon faith for their doctrines did teach that Black men could not be ordained into positions of power like the priesthood. Today, there is a reported 500,000 members of African descent in the Mormon Church throughout North and South America, namely in the Genesis Group, a group that existed before the 1978 ban was lifted....
Is anger inappropriate when confronting the topic of intolerance, bigotry or racism. Absolutely not. Sometimes it takes a sincere expression of disgust to shake loose the social 'mind think.' Racism is powerful and lives are effected. When lives are affected for no justifible reason, anger would be more than the emotion when reality is realized and the truth revealed.
