Keep in mind that there is a big difference between actually vandalizing the property of another person and some old man telling me I'm inferior to him. As a white person I'm could never be offended by any comments made by people I have not come to love and respect a great deal. |

Thomas S Monson could come out tomorrow and say that every white male with two kids, a pregnant wife, is an assistant scoutmaster with a big nose, and hates green vegetables...is cursed and was a jack ass in the pre-existence.
I would probably think "that sucks" since it describes me to a 'T', but I wouldn't spend any more than that one second thinking about it. I have better things to worry about like my jack ass boss who I hate more than anybody I've ever hated in my life. |

"The bittersweet thing about the priesthood ban and its legacy is that it's a metaphor, emblematic, or better, a microsocm, of so much. To a thoughtful person it is endlessly damning, it spreads like peritonitis. That's why the LDS Church needs to treat it."

#3 gave me the biggest guffaw. I guess if you looked like Heber C. Kimball, you would need every possible advantage.

Somehow it seems easier for these people to believe that god is a racist asshole than Joseph Fielding Smith. go figure.
