I'm not dodging. Not to be offensive here, but it's a silly question. I'm not going to judge the revelatory powers of every prophet over the last 150 years by some obscure statement Brigham Young might have said. Any time any prophet of any generation says something you don't like, you can just whip out your little quote and say, "See?! Brigham thought God was speaking and Brigham was wrong! So maybe this guy is too." What stops me from applying it to any old doctrine/policy I don't like?
People use blacks and the priesthood to justify whatever little pet complaint they have, as I noted
here. If that's your cup o' tea, then by all means. It sounds like wishful thinking to me.
