The thing about dark skin is true. It is still in the Book of Mormon (2nd book of Nephi). They still teach it. In fact, they also say that the lighter your skin is, the purer you are, and that those who are cursed will be able to go to the "celestial kingdom", but they will always be of service (slaves) to those who are pure. If you want to know anything about the alleged 'curse of Cain,' you can look it up in the index under any terms that might be related, like : skin, black, curse, skin color, etc. I know because I am Black person in Utah. No I am not Mormon, as I refuse to belong to any racist organization even if it is in my favor. The next time you speak to the woman who lives near you regarding the LDS faith, you should cite references to this "curse." I bet she'll start to change her tone, and she might even avoid you.
I've done this many times when I am approached by missionaries. It really bothers me when missionaries treat me as a future prospect. When I tell them about their religion, and how they should be ashamed of themselves for promoting such a racist, hateful religion, they get uneasy, and really nervous.

Then I ask them if they can find anything that rebukes my argument, then they can come back and show me.

They never return.
