    Former Mormon here…
    I attended BYU-Idaho for a year, and during that entire year, I’m not even sure if I SAW a Black person. The fact that so many students were saying no, they didn’t have any Black friends isn’t surprising in the slightest. You’d have to go out of your way to even **meet** someone who is Black on these campuses. 🤷🏻‍♀️
    Also, why oh why would anyone choose to attend any of the BYUs if they weren’t Mormon? I didn’t even know that was an option until I watched this video, but I seriously don’t understand it. BYU is awful enough when you HAVE drunk the koolaid. I can’t imagine attending it knowing it was all bullsh*t.

      I think that both attending byu and being Mormon are very personal choices and many people go to byu because it’s a safe and clean campus not because they are Mormon or racist or support what others support. If you are actually familiar with more than social media and a few areas in the USA, you would know that there are many places with an a more common race regardless or political views or religion. There are no laws or rules saying certain races are not allowed in certain states. Your desire to “meet” someone should not be based on race.

Having been ridiculed throughout different times during my membership for asking serious legitimate questions, regarding the history of Mormonism, I have nothing but respect for these students.

I mean the experiences I've had with Church members in various parts of the U.S and in Brazil have been rather different (i.e Idaho vs California vs South Dakota)

    How about Walla Walla Washington?
    Pendleton Oregon?
    Montana.. the entire state.
    It's a conservative Christian school, and people are shocked by conservative Christian answers.

      Hi there, I grew up Mormon! In the Mormon church, men are bestowed the "preisthood" when they come of age which allows them to perform blessings / different rituals, it's a pretty big deal to them. The church was founded in 1829 and subsequently men deemed worthy were given the priesthood. However, Black men were barred from having the priesthood until much later in 1978, and it is often a point of contention and one of the main arguments as to why the Mormon church is racist. Basically what that guy is saying is a retort to those who question why black men could not have the priesthood until recently, when pretty much all men throughout human history prior to 1829 didn't have the chance to have it either. Hope that makes sense!

For example, several educational work books today use the narratives first put forward by 'The Daughters Of The Confederacy.'
