Summary

Yesterday, on May 17 2018, Jonathan Streeter leveraged news of a real meeting between leaders of the Mormon church and the NAACP to create a fake apology from the Mormon Church regarding its history of institutional racism. Zandra Vranes, from Sistas in Zion, responded to this hoax on a live stream FB video that was one of the most amazing things I have ever heard and seen. It’s all very complicated. Today, Glenn shares his reaction to both Jonathan’s Hoax and Zandra’s response. The Hoax: https://www.mormon-newsroom.org/multimedia/file/President-Nelson-Meets-With-NAACP-Offers-Apology-for-History-of-Racism.pdf Zandra’s video response: (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.2'; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); LDS Apology for Racism is Fake To the people who just retraumatized Black people in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. May God have mercy on your souls… Posted by Sistas in Zion on Thursday, May 17, 2018
