My story is a bit long but bear with me.
I have been a member of the Mormon church all my life although I am not as active now like I used to be for various reasons. Regardless of that, I would like to explain a few things about the Mormon church. They are organized as fuck. Not only is the organization organized, so are its members. The churches are clean, people dress nice and the environment is always a positive one. Everyone respects each other (although there are some bad apples here and there). In order to have a successful congregation, members are given assignments in which they do it for free in order to help one another. These assignments are all different in nature but in my experience, these assignments are taken seriously whether it be teaching, becoming a bishop and so on (there are many). Growing up in the US, I have had the experience of growing up in Congregations that are all white, and at one point all Hispanic (since my family is from Argentina, we are all Spanish speakers of European descent). Although the Hispanic congregations can be a little dysfunctional at times, things still ran smoothly but I will not deny that White congregations were much better than the Hispanic ones. Keep in mind most of my life I thought all races were equal.
Then I went on a mission. For two years, I served a Mission in Quebec Canada working with French, Spanish and English speakers. It was a tri-lingual mission. I served a year in a Spanish speaking congregation which was no different than the Spanish congregations in the US. A bit dysfunctional at times but in the end, things got done and everything for the most part always ran smoothly. I also had the chance to be apart of congregations that were English as well as French and you could not tell the difference between either except for the difference in language but there was one french speaking service where most of its members were black. Most were either from Haiti or some part of Africa and although this experience was not bad in nature, it had been an eye opener. In fact, I am not sure where to begin.
When it came to personal hygiene. Most blacks smelled extremely bad. Either they did not shower very often, washed their clothes often enough or both. On Sundays, the church building had the same smell as each individual did. The smell of something that I cannot describe because even when white people smell, it is not the same.This smell was potent and I could never get used to it. Most people with assignments within the church either never did them and the few that did were horrible at it. Most of the time, Sunday school was a cluster fuck and no one participated except for a few individuals. I cannot confirm this, but I am sure some probably abused the welfare system that the church has as well.
Then I got a chance to go to some of their homes.....
Let me start by saying that the smell that was always present at church also overwhelmed their home. The indescribable smell mixed with their cassava bread and whatever else they cooked. I do not like to remember having to eat in their homes because their home was usually extremely dirty. Eventually, I just avoided eating by providing some excuse because I could not handle knowing that the food had been prepared by people that most likely were not very sanitary. I am a messy guy, but the dirtiness in these homes was extreme. I also wanted to mention that their kids were not tamed at all. Most of them were wild. Just like how blacks butcher the English language in the states and, blacks do the same thing in French as well.
Anyways, all I wanted to say is that I don't really hate other races, but I also cannot deny what I have experienced. I know for a fact that we are not all equal. Having first hand experience with many races (I also have dealt with Muslims, Indians, and Pacific Islanders) I can tell that there are general differences in average IQ as well as some races being prone to aggression more than others.
