The FLDS Consider Black People Evil

The FLDS is almost completely isolated from the outside world, and in this isolation, they’re heavily taught about the evils of “gentiles” (people who aren’t FLDS members). Among the most evil gentiles are allegedly African Americans, largely because they invented evil, terrible, rap music. This may sound like an Onion headline, but it’s not a joke. The FLDS church hates rap music. Here’s a direct quote from Warren Jeffs about how the devil is using “the Negro race.”

“How has the devil used the Negro race in our day? Today, the big, neat thing among the young people is the rock music, heavy metal music, the rap music. Even the white people that play it were taught through the Negro. The music from the gentile world, with the fast beat and bad words, is from the black race. . . . If you partake of the ways of the world today, you are partaking of the ways of the black race.”
