Say what you will about Don Imus (and the criticism is indeed deserved), but he also wrote one of the funniest novels I have ever read.

As someone who went to an IFB school for my entire life, including 2 different colleges, this was very hard for me to read at times and brought up so many repressed memories from my college days. Thankfully, I never suffered the awful abuse like the author, but I agree there are definite branches of the IFB that are a cult. Some parts just flowed in the writing, others were like reading a boring term paper. Still, I admire her for telling her ⬇️
This blows my mind. Until recently, and I‘m all too many cases still today, the Baptist Church supported slavery (when it was still legal in the US) and racism, but that is never acknowledged, it‘s never been repented of, at least half the time it still exists. Yet they want to claim to be the moral majority. The thing that confuses me the most is African American Baptists. How can they even bring themselves to participate in that BS?!
