Strom Therman has an illegitimate African American daughter in California!!

I could point out that this is probably only one of millions of white-black unions that produced a child or that most men having been raised in Strom's shoes would have probably done the exact same thing. But it would be like talking to stones.

she was going after the alpha male. Remember that line?

Little eastie, just doesn't like miscegenation. He's a German and a Russian (East German). What do you expect...

According to the daughter who was curious about why he would support segregation while having black offspring, Strom told her he was only doing it for political support. There's the man of principle Trent Lott applauded...

So this fellow, who was senile long before I was born, and is now dead, is a hypocritical politician. Not only is news about this dead politician that hasn't done anything of note during my lifetime important to me, but I also learned that politicians can be hypocrites. Thank you for pointing this story out to me.

Actually, other historians have stated that the real Jim Crow era did not start until the late 1880s.

If Strom's daughter had come forward to discredit her father with her revelation sooner, when her father was at the height of his power in the 50s and 60s fighting Civil Rights legislation, Civil Rights might have come sooner for blacks. She would have been a hero.
