Why is Sharpton shocked? He knew he had slave ancestors. No ancestral connection was found between Thurmond and Sharpton, not even an owner/slave connection. One of Thurmond’s distant female cousins “owned” Sharpton’s ancestor. This is barely news. And why would Thurmond be laughing? Makes no sense.

this story is no surprise at all !! first of all, if we look at the skin tone of African-Americans you will see they are much lighter than the people are in Africa !! its safe to say almost all also have European blood in them too !!! America is a melting pot !! we all should realize this and try to get along !! the hatred that we have for each other is really hatred for ourselves because we are all related !!  somin’ to think about

illgramaticus Knee o’kaun

Not resting in peace....he’s having the last laugh.

I have a friend who says she saw in an AOL article on Sunday, Feb 25th, a story that said that Thurmond’s ancestor and Al Sharpton’s ancestor had an affair. She insisted that Al Sharpton is a descendant of this tryst.

I told her that all I could find was the fact that Strom Thurmond himself is the one who had the affair and had an illegitimate bi-racial daughter. She insists that Thurmond and Sharpton are related by blood.  Nowhere can I see that!  Did anyone else see the story in AOL yesterday?
HELP!

Is Strom resting in peace in his grave ? I don’t think so !
