thurmond family owned sharpton family
as if you haven’t had enough cnn headlines these past days, the news site is reporting that the great, great grandfather of the late senator strom thurmond owned the great grandfather of the rev. al sharpton.
strom thurmond is best known as a staunch advocate of segregation and was political bed buddies with trent lott. he also holds the record for the longest filibuster in the senate. against which bill do you ask? only the civil rights act of 1957.
oh yeah, apparently strom enjoyed dipping in the kool-aid (no put in intended) every once in awhile. his family just came out and admitted that he also fathered a child with his black housekeeper.
i admit that i am slightly hesitant by the thought of actually knowing which family owned my family. while the miracle of science continues to astound, the sheer reality of such truth may weight on my brain for a very long time.
two words for the reverend, though: thats deep.
