Mormons held open and severely racist dogmas against African Americans until 1978. 432 years of difference. I think that span of centuries makes a difference to most people. Mitt was in his 30's and way up in the church when they held those teachings about black people. He in fact, taught those teachings to others. Into his 30's.
