For those who don’t get the reference, I think this is referring to the Mark of Cain teaching in Mormonism. This resulted in black members of the church being seen as lesser or inferior by many white members. The church officially abandoned it as an official teaching in 1978. But the stigma for black members still persists to some degree unofficially, with some white church members still believing it today.
Black members of the church didn’t exist before 1978. If you had any African ancestry at all they wouldn’t even teach you, you couldn’t join at all, it was part of the missionary lessons, they asked you if you had any African heritage.
