I LOL'd!

It's a kid's book about racist assholes like you.

well i guess you told me.

Mr. Right: Two questions.

First, will this be sufficient to demonstrate to non-Baptists that the SBC has indeed changed and has made real progress with the concept of racial equality? My guess is no - the perpetually, professionally aggrieved will never let go of anything they view as an opportunity.

Second, how long until people outside the SBC start referring to the Reverend Luter as an Uncle Tom? My guess - couple weeks, tops.

Why do you feel outsiders would be pointing and name calling? The bulk of the population of America will never hear of this man. What matters is that he is loved and accepted by his new congregation. That's where my concerns would lie if I were affiliated with this house of worship.

Was hoping to see at least one reference to this.

well good for them. he'll look awfully funny at the saturday evening bible readings though, won't he?

I am pretty sure people of this community are not to happy about this. Southern Baptists are very segregated. I grew up in that atmosphere. the first black person I ever saw in the church in my hometown was in this century. It was at a Christmas Eve ceremony and one of the members of the band from the local college was black. Certainly not a member of that church. They did support other smaller churches with black or Latino members, my father took me to one and thought it was such a great thing, a little WWII barracks building converted into a SBC for the brown people.

When I was a kid I would walk by the black church, not sure if it was SBC, and hear the music, I really wanted to go in there, it sounded so much more fun.

I'm always open to debate on EG though. OSC wrote it so that kids COULD read it, but I don't think they were actually his intended audience. Unless you define kid as "one who lives in mom's basement"....then, yeah. Its a kids book.
