:Individuals indeed had racist ideas and feelings. The policy has never stated that black people are inferior. It was a policy based on race, yes, but in that vein does it make Jews racist for not allowing non-Levites to perform ordinances? Are Mormons sexist because women can't hold the priesthood? Are traditional Christians hate groups because they believe homosexuality as an act is a crime? Yes, there are policies based on various classes, but that doesn't make the classes superior or inferior, it simply defines roles for various classes. I'd be hard pressed to call my mother, a homemaker, an inferior to my father or myself...she ran the house. ~  •
