Strom Thurmond was a Racist... BIG SHOCK

An FBI file on Strom Thurmond has exposed that the late SC senator and his staff tried to get the FBI to trump up charges against the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the grounds that King was "controlled by communists". It also shows that Thurmond wanted to kill 2 birds with 1 stone by squashing the two causes he detested: Civil rights and Communism. Longtime Thurmond friends say that the late senator really was not a racist, but that he just hated the deadly spread of communism. Yeah, so how do you explain him committing statutory rape against a 15 year old black girl (whom he impregnated, abandoned, and then never acknowledged the existence of that bi-racial daughter as if she were a source of shame) and his membership in the SC segregationist States Rights Party that demanded separate schools, churches and swimming pools for whites and blacks? Let's face it, he was a racist, he was supported and surrounded by racists, and many, many GOPers are racists who will woo and court an African-American vote by pulling the "Christian values" card, but then turn around and decimate the minority community with massive cuts to necessary federal aid. The Rev. Al Sharpton said it best at the DNC this past July: "Why does the Republican Party care about what goes on in people's bedrooms when they need to be worrying about how those people can't put food on their kitchen tables". Amen, Reverend... amen.
