Is it true that the Book of Mormon once prohibited blacks from becoming members of the clergy?
I heard that this was the case, and was abolished because of civil rights movements. If this is the case, to me, it's like saying "God's always right, and all knowing, but has changed his mind about racism." Which doesn't pan out for me. I've asked many Mormons this question, but they always dance around the answer. I figure an ex-Mormon is more likely to answer straightforward on this.
