According to Mormonism, is the Black race cursed and if so what does that imply?

I was wondering, since I've heard this a lot and I've done some research about it. I'd like to know what Mormons, at least contemporary Mormons, have to say about this. > Keeping in mind documents like these which I will quote to avoid > needless opposition : > > "Cain was cursed with dark skin; he became the father of the Negroes, > and those spirits wh are not worthy to receive the priesthood are born > through his lineage." > **(Mormon Doctrine, pp. 102)** > > "Negroes in this life are denied the priesthood; under no > circumstances can they hold this delegation of authority from the > Almighty" **(Mormon Doctrine, 10th printing, pages 527-528)** > > > "The gospel message of salvation is not carried affirmatively to > them... Negros are not equal with other races where the receipt of > certain spiritual blessings are concerned."**(Bruce R. McConkie: > Highlights From His Life & Teachings. Horn, Denis B.(2000))** I will now UPDATE the preface because the previous quotes were seemingly not enough to avoid needless opposition. I am not doing this to simply mock, I am doing this to get a satisfactory answer meaning truth. Quotes from **MORMON PROPHETS** that are considered to be infallible teachings of the LDS, or supposedly so, we shall see. > Because of [Cain's] wickedness he became the father of an inferior > race...the mark which was placed on Cain and which his posterity > inherited was the black skin. **(Prophet Joseph Fielding Smith, the way > of perfection p. 101, 107)** > Some classes of the human family...are black, uncouth, uncomely, > disagreable and low in their habits, wild and seemingly deprived of > nearly all the blessings of the intelligence that is generally bestowed > upon mankinnd. The first man who committed the odious crime of killing > one of his bretheren will be cursed... the Lord put a mark upon Cain > which is the flat nose and black skin. > > Shall I tell you the law of God in regards to the African race? If the > white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed > of Cain, the penalty under the law of God is death on the spot. **This > shall always be so. > > **(2nd Prophet of the LDS Church, Brigham Young, "Journal of Discourses," Vol. 7, Pages 290 & 291)** > The intermarriage of the Negro and white races, a concept which has > heretofore been most repugnant to most normal minded people...

Sponberg (critic of the anti-black ban), May 5, 1947, quoted in Lester E.
