Scientific and Historical Fact

Indians wrote many official records (Hel 3:13), scrolls (Mor 5:23) and other writings (Mor 9:2; 2 Nephi 9:18)
|
Indians never wrote books but used simple pictures to communicate
|
North American Indians are descended from Jews
|
Being "mongoloid", are descended from east Asia
|
God cursed Indians with dark skin. Anyone who marries Indian shall get dark skin too (2 Nephi 5:21-23; Jacob 3:3-9; Mormon 5:15-17; Alma 3:6-10)
|
If this were true, there would be no part Indians, only full-blooded Indians. The statement is genetically false
|
When Indians accept Mormon teachings they will become, "white and delightsome people" (2 Nephi 30:5-7; 3 Nephi 2:15)
|
This is white supremacist racism and implies a correlation between skin colour and righteousness (at one time, Mormons wouldn't baptize Negroes)
