When President Obama ran for president in 2008. Much of a big deal was made about his ties to Rev. Jeremiah Wright and comments he made which appeared to be racial. He was basically forced to denounce him and leave the church despite not being a tithe paying member according to his tax returns. Now it is 2012 and where is the big fuss bout Mitt Romney belonging to church whose founder Joseph Smith who was known to use the word Nigger in his writings.(please google) Has Romney been pressured to denounce or defend the use of the N word? Has he been asked if he ever believed that blacks were cursed? Everyone is entitled to their own religious beliefs but the same pressure that was on Pres. Obama to denounce Wright and Trinity UCC unashamedly black statement- the same should be the same for The Church of Later Day Saints on their racist past.
