I was literally taught as a kid that Jesus was white because brown people are cursed. They won't admit to the overt racism now, but there is a reason so many christian nationalists freaked out over Obama, and it wasn't because of his Tan Suit.

Omg are you Mormon? I only know about that from South Park but that’s insane 🤣

(And then Book of Mormon musical which is fantastic)

Was. But "curse of Cain" was used to justify slavery before Joseph Smith co-opted it as a central theme of the Book of Mormon. If you saw that South Park episode ("dum dum dum dum dum") then you know more of the truth about Mormonism that I did for the first few decades of my life.
