SO....did you know that Strom Thurmond had a baby with a black woman in 1925? credible sources say...article ponders whether this means "it was all a front" and he wasn't so bad, OR was he worse than thought? I believe the latter, since he embraced it for all it was worth and he knew he didn't have to do that. He chose to appeal to the worst in people and will be forever known for that since his works never took him in an (active) other direction.
