This subject is intriguing to me.
Do the Mormon’s on this board realize that their church was segregated until well after the civil rights movement? In fact, African Americans couldn’t even hold the priesthood until 1978. They couldn’t play sports at BYU until 1979.
If you truly believe this wouldn’t play any factor in some African Americans decision on where to send their kids to school, you’re up in the night. When I found out that Jabari Parker had no clue about LDS history I wasn’t surprised at all. I guarantee that information is suppressed to inner city minorities getting missionary talks.
I find it disingenuous that you lds folks give thumbs down, when it’s a fact of your recent history. Don’t assume people aren’t aware. I just hope these minority families realize we have a diverse student body/facility at the U, and that Salt Lake is a diverse city.
