Christianity has gone through several processes of distortion of the teachings of Christ by its main modern representatives: and Ezra is among the most contradictory for taking a stand in favor of what a sensible Christian would not. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, unfortunately, aligns with the history of barbarism and antagonism like any other religion, even though it advocates a thousand times its status as the only true church. The contradiction between Christianity and the condemnation of civil rights and demonstrations for social justice marked the life of Ezra Taft Benson, demonstrably aligned with the exclusive interests of whites who opposed and forged laws to ward off any possibilities of more plural and democratic justice that included the less favored – especially blacks. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has two blemishes in its history: (1) the unexplained 19th-century traveler’s cart massacre; (2) the church’s omission in the face of racism, with Ezra as the standout representing this injustice. Let’s remember that Latinos had their land robbed and that the United States, if hadn’t stolen it, would still have 13 colonies. In short, Benson is notoriously connected to this “privileged side” of the United States, which covers up the penury of blacks, Indians, robberies and massacres in the name of the “American Dream”, despite the good examples that Mormons present in many aspects of life. I’m Brazilian and I’m ashamed to see LDS members support a Nazi-fascist president in my country; and that Mormons in Utah supported Trump (the map of that state appeared in the color of the Republicans in the vote-counting process); How could Mormons vote and support Trump even though they knew he caged children? How could they vote for Bolsonaro – in Brazil – even though they were aware that he is a racist, Nazi-fascist and seeks to destroy forests and poison Indians through squatters and intermediaries? This same reasoning permeates the understanding of who Ezra Taft Benson really was, as his compromising position up to his neck continues to be repeated through other names, inside and outside the aforementioned church. No more smokescreens! In other words: how to be against civil rights and be Mormon like Ezra? My criticism is not about the church itself, but about its members.
