It's my understanding from an ex-Mormon that the only reason they had that "revelation" in 1978 was because the government was getting onto them about not allowing blacks to be priests, preachers, or whatever they have, nor were blacks allowed to be in the church administration. So after the government warned them about the civil rights laws, lo and behold the head of the church had a magical revelation that black people aren't cursed descendants of Ham after all.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
