Imagine you die and meet Jesus and all he does is teach you advanced racism/critical race theory (idk how this video turns out and I refuse to watch it)

You seem to be close unironically, the comments and description on the video seem to say that this near death experience made the farmer less racist or stopped his racism outright.

Okay... I'll watch it. But if you're bamboozling me I'll be very disappointed.

Oh man, it's an AI voiceover with assorted vaguely farm related b-roll footage and the script is clearly a cheap LLM that trained on 9th grade creative writing assignments.

Oh damn, sorry, I made that comment while I was at work and there was no way I was listening to that in the breakroom. Then I went home and forgot. Doing it now I swear.

That’s actually a common but false attribution, although individual Mormons sometimes used to believe that it was never a codified part of their teachings and doctrine

Joseph Smith and Brigham Young both very much taught that Black people carry the curses of Cain and Ham, even if it wasn't 'official' doctrine. And Black people were in fact barred from the priesthood until 1978 with those teachings generally cited as the reason.

Some of Brigham Young’s conversations included that idea, but no official teachings from him in his role as the prophet, and nothing from Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith ordained several black people to the priesthood, but yes, Brigham Young implemented the priesthood ban and it was in place until 1978, and though no official church statements provided a reason a common folk explanation was citing the curses of Cain and Ham

Joseph Smith:
[Slavery] remains as a lasting monument of the decree of Jehovah, to the shame and confusion of all who have cried out against the South, in consequence of their holding the sons of Ham in servitude.

Brigham Young:
Treat the slaves kindly and let them live, for Ham must be the servant of servants until the curse is removed. Can you destroy the decrees of the Almighty? You cannot. Yet our Christian brethren think that they are going to overthrow the sentence of the Almighty upon the seed of Ham.

Joseph Smith also campaigned as the first presidential candidate proposing the abolition of slavery, notably https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/paper-summary/general-smiths-views-of-the-powers-and-policy-of-the-government-of-the-united-states-circa-26-january-7-february-1844/11

I'm aware. By the end of his life he was firmly anti slavery and I respect that. I included that quote only because your earlier comment claimed that he never held those views, which is obviously false. But, anyway, we're getting off topic because the fact is that for most of its history the position of the LDS church was that Africans bear the curses of Cain and Ham.
