LDS, Mormons About The Bible and the Curse of Cain that the LDS church had until 1978?

I hate text walls. And I'm not quite sure what point you're trying to make. If you will read further in the Bible you will notice that it says the blackened skin is a SIGN of the curse. The black skin itself was not the curse. There are many examples of prophets in the scriptures doing things because they were led by the Lord to do so, some things that not everyone will agree with or understand. And are we really supposed to understand ALL the ways of the Lord? Probably not. As far as the African Americans and the priesthood and 1978 goes, who knows? I don't. But I'm not so sure that's what really matters anyway, other than the fact that the priesthood is given to ALL men today as long as they are worthy to receive it. Yes, God does command and counsel that we love one another and that we are all equal. I don't think the fact that African Americans couldn't hold the priesthood before 1978 was a decision out of hate or inequality, being that it was a decision from the Lord and the Lord does not hate.
