During the course of a discussion in Nauvoo in 1842, on the question as to whether the Negroes or the Indians had received the greater ill-treatment from the whites, the Prophet Joseph Smith Said: 'The Indians have greater cause to complain of the treatment of the whites, than the Negroes, or sons of Cain.' (D.H.C., 4:501) But we all know it is due to his teachings that the Negro today is barred from the Priesthood.
