Speaking of Slavery: Sharpton discovers...
 

NEW YORK ? Genealogists have found that civil rights activist REV. AL SHARPTON is a descendent of a slave owned by relatives of the late Sen. STROM THURMOND, a newspaper reported Sunday.

They said professional genealogists, working at the newspaper's behest, recently uncovered the ancestral ties between one of the nation's best-known black leaders and a man who was once a prominent defender of segregation.

"I have always wondered what was the background of my family," the newspaper quoted Sharpton as saying. "But nothing ? nothing ? could prepare me for this."

:eek:

Who gives a sh*t? The narcissism & ego of that crooked POS is amazing.

Am I the only one that wishes Strom were still around to hear what he would have to say about this?

As far as Sharpton needing a press conference about this... Whatever. I think a simple public statement would do just fine, but in his usual dramatic way a press conference is much better way to make a big spectecal of all of this. (Insert jack off smiley here)

Someone should look into Al Gore's family history for slave ownership.
