What living in Utah as a black man can be like #Utah #mormon #racism

Racism is very wrong! And oh btw darker skin they're NOT a Curse! God Created everybody & mormon church need to read the Bible not the book of mormon.

Wheres the rest of the story what happened

clean your beard man... its disgusting.

Yep that's funny I'm from provo and I remember the food 4 less near shopko and movies 8 old school provo ha. And yes utah is very racist especially with blacks they hate Latinos too but just co exist with use especially in construction. Bieng pulled over for nothing, and bieng followed around stores is a norm, the further south u go the more racist it becomes sad really, it's how they were taught a superior ego.

Should had sued so they would learn

As a color person I have alot of respect for white people, their structure and respect for life etc but I notice that it's not the same once they see wakanda moving in their turf. Especially now after Brandon started ruling. Most are losing God and eating the propaganda.

Sad cuz the hottest white women grow up in these kind of communities and I want them

Scary

I'm from Provo, lived there for 4 years as a white liberal woman and I fuckin left because I witnessed the most disgusting things. I'm ex-mormon and was harassed daily. I'm so sorry you had to go through this.

That’s everywhere, not just Utah. That’s AZ, GA and Mo to name a few in recent experience.

This is the whitest black guy I’ve ever seen

I just retired and moved up here for an extended vacation. I can tell you without a doubt i know there is a problem with racism up here. Im leaving. I can find a much nicer place to retire.

As someone who grew up in southern california, I think a lot of the perception surrounding blacks stems from what is seen in areas like California & Chicago, with gangs, drugs, crime, etc. OBVIOUSLY, not every black person is a gang member or into drugs. But when all you ever see in the news is blacks getting in trouble with the law, it brainwashes people into believing all blacks are this way. On my facebook, for whatever reason, there are ads for black blog sites that pop up that show positive things black people are doing in the world, including kids inventing stuff, getting into good colleges, etc. And I enjoy the articles as it is shifting the focus on how we see black people as a whole. In the end, racism is perpetuated as long as we keep feeding into it. So I choose to see black people the same as I see all people...as divine human beings.❤

Can you be posting full stories 😮

his father must have be african and thought since his US paperwork says caucasian he thought he was above the law😂😂🤣 nope ur still a $&@&& too🤣🤣

Utah is dominantly white. Go to chicago and it’s the opposite. Blacks are way more civilized in utah. Also I notice blacks that were born in Africa are civilized

Bro In Chicago the blacks were attacking white people randomly for nothing. Racism isn’t directed towards one race. We are all human with similar thought patterns

There is a lot of racism against whites!

Come on United States of America! Did you forget that Native Americans or so called Indians are your ancestors???

Racism is literally in the doctrines of the mormon church and on top of that its not Christianity its heresy.

racial profiling typical

Go look at California, look at San Francisco, what majority is doing the majority of the vandalism and theft? It's blacks. End of story. They do it to themselves.

It is highly unlikely that someone who pays for their stuff was also shoplifting. Think about it.

Is this everywhere in Utah? Or is it just in Salt Lake City?

Basketball Donovan Mitchell said the same

Blacks are the real children of the most high and these people are going to judge

Mormons bro. Crazy

Yes, Alex, I’ll take something that didn’t happen for $200

He lives in the sunken place.

This is why I moved out of Utah, I’m Mormon and white, and I was so tired of the entitlement of people there and the racism was crazy. This is why Mormons have a bad name.

Now try being white/light skin in parts of California. You’ll get treated like dirt and nobody will bat an eye.

I was shopping while white in Mexico. Got followed but not interrogated. That's extra weird.

The first experience I had going into Utah was ppl whispering at resturaunt and people yelling n lover out window I was in SHOCK this wasn't the type of lds I was raised in. My kids have ptsd from racist physical attacks

Dont care move somewhere else

my first best friend was black and I'm white

Mormon stories? Mormon is a fake religion

I just wish most white people would stay away from me

Hand in pocket and fumbling sounds sus tbh

As soon as he said Orem I believe everything he said 😂

Doesn't he know that original mormon teachings says that his black skin is a curse from god? 😂😂😂

I’m Hispanic and have experienced that in SLC, recently lol

I'm sorry for that bad experience.

Is this the sketch a day guy?

Utah is basically just Saudi Arabia for M*rmons

BS. People of color in todays society have more rights than whites. FACT.

My family lived in Draper, Utah from 2016-2021 and it was an amazing experience! It was family-oriented and I met some of the nicest people. I know everyone’s experience will be different, but being in Utah restored my faith in people.

I lived in the 14th ward in Salt Lake City (which is now located in the fancy skyscraper next to the Harmons on state street) and the senior missionaries were shamelessly racist towards me. One night my wife and I had come home from the gym at around 10:30 pm and since we were still new to the area, we didn’t know where to park, so I approached them and the guy’s wife clenched her purse and he became aggressive towards me. I asked if the parking spots were free for all, and he said “I don’t have any money, no dinero amigo, no dinero” and then I asked again and he said “I don’t live here, no dinero sorry”. That’s one of many experiences of racism I had in Utah

Keep in mind, missionaries are sent all over the world. You tend to love those you serve. So that's love for so many cultures.

Then there are people who are sheltered their whole lives. Orem is called "Happy Valley" for a reason. 😂

That being said, I've never seen blatant racism. It's likely more fear of the unknown rather than harsh racism that involves violence and hatred.

It's not acceptable in any form. I hope people open their hearts and minds better and give people second and third chances. That's a real problem in social media these days.
