Reasons to disagree Skin is different than clothes. People understand that every culture inderstands that white clothes can be a symbol of cleanliness. "White people" aren't white, they are a sort of pinkish, tan-ish, off white... White people don't want to be too white. No one said that albino is pure.

Reasons to agree: It is racist that the dark skinned people in the Book of Mormon had their skin turned white, if they are righteous. Reasons to disagree: Some people say the Book of Mormon is racist against the darker skinned people of the book, because some of the authors say some quotes that sound pretty bad. However the whole book says that they were the more righteous people, and that all the white people were killed off. There were many parts of the book that authors say that the Laminates were more righteous than the Nephites.

Reasons to agree You are told as a Mormon to brag to your non-Mormon friends that we have a living prophet who can tell us things that God wants us to know. If God really has a special relationship with the LDS prophet, there are no good explanations of why God would wait until 1978 for him to tell our Church to start giving Blacks the priesthood. Reasons to disagree Sure, the LDS people and leaders were racist, but when your talking about theology, it shouldn't matter when a church changed, just that it ever was Bad. It shouldn't matter that it was longer ago that Baptist preachers were slave holders. If the baptist doctrine was so flimsy that it can change from once supporting slavery, then there is not much of a doctrine that is worth while. If Catholic Popes were really bad a long time ago, it doesn't make it any worse for Mormons, that their prophet was bad more recently... You can say that the Mormon culture sucked that it was racest for so long, but if you are going ...

  Reasons  to agree with Obama: Obama is right about the disparity between sentencing crack and powder-based cocaine  . Obama is right to try to ban racial profiling. Obama has said: “[Those who worked on civil rights in the past realized that] to achieve racial equality was not simply good for African-Americans, but it was good for America as a whole; that we could not be what we might be as a nation unless we healed the brutal wounds of slavery and Jim Crow." Obama has said; "Now, we have made enormous progress, but the progress we have made is not good enough. As many have already mentioned, we live in a society that remains separated in terms of life opportunities for African-Americans, for Latinos, and the rest of the nation." Obama is right. Its not always about race, but often about historical economic opportunities. For instance, many Irish came to American in deep poverty because they were fleeing the potato famine. African American's aren't always the v...

Obama writes in his most recent book,  The Audacity of Hope : " Affirmative action  programs, when properly structured, can open up opportunities otherwise closed to qualified minorities without diminishing opportunities for white students." Reasons  to agree: It not that big of a deal, and Obama may be correct, that it is fair to give advantages to groups that were held back. However what he says is not logically sound. You can't give advantages to one group, without taking those advantages from another group. I'm not saying that I think affirmative action is wrong, I'm just saying that you shouldn't lie to us about it. If you think that minorities have been held back, and that they need help, just tell us that, but don't lie to the majority and tell them that their "opportunies" will not be "diminishe[ed]". Interest  of those who agree (that Obama is wrong): Promoting the Republican Party by attacking a democrat. Racism (critisizing a...
