I find Alma 3 and the website blacks in the scriptures . com very clear in specifying that race and color is not the same thing and reason... because of the slave issue, it saved many lives to have held back even though there were Phood holders in the early LDS Church, and in the correct time for America and other lands across the world, the timing was well suited

The Book of Mormon contains at least twenty references indicating that the gospel will go forth among all nations, tongues, and people. The D&C contains about 78 such passages, and still more are in the Pearl of Great Price. The Bible contains the promise that through the seed of Abraham all families of the earth will be blessed - a promise also repeated on the Book of Mormon. Similarly, the Book of Revelation speaks of "another angel," flying through the air, bringing the everlasting gospel to all people. Joseph Smith, Brigham young, and any number of other LDS church leaders have made statements and predictions to the effect that the church will in time become established among all nations and people. Perhaps this helps.
