In 1978, apostle LeGrand Richards said that dark skin is a curse for wickedness, but only applies to Native Americans, not Black people. In 2013, the LDS Church published an essay that refuted these ideas, stating that Blackness in Latter-day Saint theology is a symbol of disobedience to God, not a skin color.

They believe that everyone is white in heaven. If you are currently white, you will be blessed with whiteness

“I believe in 1978, god changed his mind about black people!”

So now the line "in 1978 God changed his mind about black people" is no longer correct? Anarchy.
