Cause I don't think I ever met a black Mormon..
..... I think there are two .....

..... previous Mormon theology taught that blacks were cursed by heavenly father .....

..... a few decades ago political correctness bit their asses and they "re-interpreted" that part of their doctrine .....

..... at least for public consumption .....

..... from wiki:

Following the death of Joseph Smith, Jr., Mormon leaders beginning with Brigham Young instituted a policy of excluding most people of black African descent (regardless of actual skin color) from Priesthood ordination and from participation in temple ceremonies. These practices continued in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) until the 1978 Revelation on Priesthood, which was canonized as Official Declaration—2
