^^That was based on the "curse of Ham' story and wasn't restricted to Mormons but they just held onto it longer. They brought themselves to conclude that Ham's curse wasn't against all of Ham's descendants, but only Canaan. My question would be, how does that solve the problem when Israel used this doctrine to further justify their subjugation of Canaan/Palestine, which is still under zionist rule in 2007? The Mormons are a bunch of quacks anyways, hell no I wouldn't want one for president, not even governor of Utah..
