Nice Google.
That page takes excerpts from public sermons given by members of the Mormon church and, as is often the case, may be out of context. Since I have read the Book of Mormon and not chapters of the Journal of Discourses I can't say for sure... just wouldn't surprise me, especially considering the bias of the owner of the page. By linking/posting that, you're trying to paint people (Mormons) as racists. (How typical of you, Mayo.) Regardless, is it wise to say a religion is racist because some of the teaching in their religious texts (while others contradict them) or the sermons by some of their high ranking members might appear racist?
Black people were excluded by church doctrine from becoming priests and participating in various ceremonies until 1978 due to those texts and teachings from church leaders. There is no question that the church was officially and explicitly racist until a few decades ago.
