Comment in question
Response to A.D. Powell
Written by John David Payne website, on 12-11-2004 12:11
First, back then “black” was defined as having ancestors from subsaharan Africa. Skin color had nothing to do with it. And again, the doctrine was that blacks could not receive the priesthood in this life, but would receive it in the afterlife. 
 
Second, did Spencer Kimball’s 1978 revelation coincide with the LDS church’s expansion in Latin America? Well, the revelation did facilitate missionary work, particularly in Brazil. But LDS missionaries had been in Brazil since 1928. If the church had decided in 1930 to allow black men to hold the priesthood, the church’s Latin American growth spurt might have come in the thirties instead of the eighties. So the timeline does not support your argument. LDS missionaries were “confronted” by mixed-race converts and potential converts for FIFTY YEARS before the revelation came. Hardly a convenient way to “avoid dealing with the reality of racial intermixture.”
