You're right, it's more "hip" to be anti-Mormon than racially prejudiced. And that would be a great point, if it actually dealt with what I'm getting at. It doesn't. I got in this thread when someone wondered why Mormons stay loyal to a party whose leadership (allegedly) is keeping them down.
There is no party where that is more evident than the Democrat party and blacks. The election of one black president (who barely secured his nomination) does not erase decades of abuse.

You are comparing this to a lottery? That is dumb, on many levels. First of all, even if this was a lottery, everyone in the Democratic party can purchase a ticket, whereas for Republicans, Mormons can't buy a ticket to participate. They are excluded from the beginning. Second of all, this isn't even remotely like a lottery, which is dictated purely by chance and by a blind draw. Everyone saw Obama before they voted for him. Everyone heard him speak. Based on what they saw and heard, they voted for the guy. Many have argued, including yourself, that he won BECAUSE he was black. Romney arguably lost BECAUSE he was Mormon. Your comparisons are a weak attempt at an apology for the bigoted base which runs your party. Finally, the notion that the Democratic party abuses blacks, and has for years, is silly and unsupportable. Perhaps you should reexamine recent history (start with Brown v. Board and work forwards) before you so quickly conclude which of the two parties has a horrible civil rights record (hint: it rhymes with Bepublican).
