Absolutely. If people are going to start screaming hypocrisy, then they ought to be consistent. I happen to think Thurman was a turd for not putting it all on the line for his daughter and marrying her mother (going to a place where it was legal) but that's just me.

(going to a place where it was legal)

The woman was born in 1924. I know it was illegal in many Southern states for blacks and whites to marry even in the 50s and possibly the 60s. I don't know about most of the other states, if it was allowed back then or not.

His family would probably have disowned him if he had married her. He and the mother would have been looked down on just about any place in the states in the early 20s.

Yes, he made a big mistake, but it sounds like most of his staff knew who this woman was and that there was mutual respect between the father and the daughter.

Armstrong Williams was on his staff at one time and reported this mutual respect between the two. Basically everyone knew what was going on. I guess the media is upset because there was a story under their noses and they didn't find it.
