Just to be clear. I think Glenn Beck was a racist long before he joined the LDS church. And I believe he chose mormonism specifically for its racially biased teachings.
The LDS church has ‘changed’ its stance on race. I think Glenn Beck missed the memo. As a matter of fact, I feel strongly that Glenn Beck MUST be a neo-nazi. I only WISH he would be true to himself, and shave his head.
Racially biased teachings in LDS scriptures:
And it came to pass that I beheld, after they had dwindled in unbelief they became a dark, and loathsome, and a filthy people, full of idleness and all manner of abominations.
And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.
And the skins of the Lamanites were dark, according to the mark which was set upon their fathers, which was a curse upon them because of their transgression and their rebellion against their brethren, who consisted of Nephi, Jacob, and Joseph, and Sam, who were just and holy men.
O my brethren, I fear that unless ye shall repent of your sins that their skins will be whiter than yours, when ye shall be brought with them before the throne of God.
And their curse was taken from them, and their skin became white like unto the Nephites;
And also that the seed of this people may more fully believe his gospel, which shall go forth unto them from the Gentiles; for this people shall be scattered, and shall become a dark, a filthy, and a loathsome people, beyond the description of that which ever hath been amongst us, yea, even that which hath been among the Lamanites, and this because of their unbelief and idolatry.
In Glenn Beck’s own words, he is a mormon:
