BREAKING NEWS: MORMON CHURCH REVEALS GOD NOT RACIST BUT THAT MAYBE THEY WERE, BUT JUST A LITTLE AND ONLY BECAUSE EVERYBODY ELSE WAS

So the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a.k.a. the Mormons, known to the masses by any number of  wacky stereotypes, came out on their website to address specifically the reason blacks weren't allowed to be participating members of the Mormon church until 1978.

Growing up, the reason I was given was: "cuz God."

Looks like, though, the whole excluding black people thing may not have been God's idea after all. Instead it appears to be a classic case of "God was opposed to it, but everyone else was pretty on board with the whole racism thing, so we kinda decided to just go with it (the racism).  God will understand."

It was peer pressure all along.
That probably should have been my second guess, but it wasn't. My second guess was The Sound of Music, because we watched that every Sunday when I was growing up.
Anyway...

Here is the official thingy: Mormons explain: WE weren't racist, but everyone else was and we didn't want to make them feel uncomfortable and then here is just a good ol' fashioned news article explaining it.

Finally, here is this meme/letter addressed to the black people of the world from the Mormon people of the world that is pretty much official (I might have made it*):
*I made it. It was me. Happy now?
