@mormonstoriespodcast: Joseph Smith was not an abolitionist and held deeply racist views. He wrote into scriptures his racial ideas, some of which were prevalent at the time. Even so, some early members of the Mormon church spoke out against slavery. Joseph Smith used the scriptures to support slavery. In 1836 he stated: "The first mention we have of slavery is found in the Holy Bible, pronounced by a man {Noah] who was perfect in his generation, and walked with God. ...It remains as a lasting monument to the decree of Jehovah."

If you though Joseph’s views were bad, wait until you read what Brigham Young had to say about our black brothers and sisters

I love everything she had to say. It’s just sad to me that she works for her dad who is a MAGA congressman in Utah.
