More Blacks and Indians were going to literal hell than anybody. They did go there first and in more numbers, right up until 1978. It's true. Then God sent an angel to Apostle Spenser Kimball, or told him in a dream or something, that the Book of Mormon was still right, of course, but that it needed to be understood right for the times. You know, the book says (and so does Apostle Joseph Smith and Apostle Brigham Young) that:
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 on their fathers, which was a curse upon them because of their transgression.... There is a reason why one man is born black.... while another is born white... The reason is that we once had an estate before we came here, and were obedient.... Cain slew his brother... and the Lord put a mark on him, which is the flat nose and the black skin.
And, as we all know, father Ham, son of Cain, found a black woman, and married her. So they all went to Hell together literally.

So sad. No wonder when you ask Mormon missionaries about this ruling, they will try to avoid it.
Yes sad, and so much - especially this awful fact of history - they attempt to ignore.
