Abraham records that Pharaoh who established the land of Egypt was a righteous man who tried to mimic the patriarchal order from the days of Adam but was barred from holding the priesthood because he was of the cursed lineage through the wife of Ham. I could see how that could be used to argue against giving black people the priesthood even if they were righteous. I don’t believe that was the intended message in any way but I can see how someone might come to that conclusion.
