Speaking of Al Sharpton.... did you hear he is related to Strom Thurmond? This is no joke, I heard it last night, seems someone did his family tree.

I am cracking up at the CTV gal whispering at the cemetery while she gives her report!

He is not related to Strom Thurmond. Sharpton's ancestors were slaves belonging to Strom Thurmond's ancestors.

If Strom's bi-racial daughter is related to Sharpton - that fact has not come to light, as far as I know.

And I know everything ;)

One of Strom's great grandparents owned Sharpton's great grandfather or something to that effect. Sharpton is saying he wants DNA testing to find out if he's actually related.

It never seems to end,...family trees seem to always grow as a result of somebody doing somebody else.....;^)
