We report; you decide. Please excuse me if this is a duplicate/multiple post. I did a FR search and didn't find it. Pretty interesting! Does sound a tad bit bitter, however. Sheeeeeesh.

DNA test seems to be in order, wouldn't you think?

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice. Ol Strom had good taste.

"....a widowed former school teacher in her 70s, living in Los Angeles"

If she is in her 70's that means that Ol' Strom fathered her
when he was a Demo. A fact that shouldn't be surprising to anyone.

At least there would be no doubt if it was "sex" or not.....

That was soooo funny! LOL!!

Good point. I like it.

Thurmond was almost certainly her father

"Almost Certainly?" What the heck does that mean? Was he "ALMOST" her father or was he ?CERTAINLY" her father? Was her mom "KINDA PREGNANT" or was she "REALLY PREGNANT?"

[Ruth A.]

... was almost certainly...

This is why it isn't making the headlines, because it is not a certainty. Such rumor-mongering is best left to the tabloids. Interesting that the author refuses to accept the alleged daughter's veracity when she says that they are family friends. Could it be that a black mature woman could not be counted on to tell the truth? Foreshame.

Can't wait for Diane McWhorter's commentary after KKK Byrd's demise.

[Saundra Duffy]

I wonder if Robert "KKK" Byrd fathered any Black children - not to mention Al Gore's Dad.

Pity the poor sap who subsequently and diligently searches for "skeleton" (as in "Strom's Skeleton", the actual title on the source article) to avoid duplicating this thread...

[Saundra Duffy]

I know. The article is written in such a mean tone. Makes you wonder. Maybe it's just a bunch of bitter democRATS trying to hurt a dead man. If Strom was her father and denied her existence all these years, though, that is pretty darn sickening.

[optimistically_conservative]

In other words ...

Though an almost certainly "Black Baby of Professional Racist" would seem to sail over the man-bites-dog bar of what is news

Doesn't quite sound as "fer shure" does it?

[PJ-Comix]

Is Robin Quivers related to Strom Thurmond? Howard Stern needs to ask her that.

[Political Junkie Too]

Could this story be "payback" for the recent story on the Kennedy's Jr.? More scandalizing the dead who cannot defend themselves? Do we retaliate by again bringing up the "Clinton fathered a black boy" story?

Knowing those white Southern guys pretty well, I'm sure he did. Forbidden fruit is always the sweetest.

In fact, forbidden fruit always gets me in a jam.

Me, too. (Shhhhhhh)

LOL!! Who else could be Strom Thurmond's Black daughter?

The reason the South is the most interesting region in the country is that it's the only place where the psychic landscape is parceled out equally among Marx, Freud, and God. ... The Marx part of Thurmond's story is the best-known: The States Rights Party ("Dixiecrat" was the coinage of a waggish newspaper editor) that drafted him for president in 1948 was a top-down junta of oligarchs who had been plotting their bolt from the New Deal Democratic Party since 1941

States Rights = Marxism? This author's conclusions are extemely light on facts.

[billhilly]

He wasn't called Sperm Thurmond for nothing.
