Essie Mae Washington-Williams, the secret-until-his-death, bi-racial daughter of South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond and Carrie Butler, a Thurmond family household servant, has died at the age of 87 . Ms. Washington-Williams was by all accounts a lovely, refined, gracious woman, who for some reason was able to love and respect her father, a lifelong segregationist. The lady even waited until he was dead to tell the world she was his daughter.
If I was Strom’s black love child I would have taken every opportunity to embarrass daddy. I guess that makes her a better man than me. RIP Essie.
Well, her ability to make peace with him MAY have had something to do with shopping sprees at the best stores, and envelopes stuffed with 100 dollar bills. I'm just sayin'
NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD!
Well done Fakota. I have added the phrase "poonhound" to my inventory of fun words.
You mean you aren't grateful for the infusion of superior genes from the white race? How uppity of you!
"He was a consensus-builder."
Arnie libel!!

Nice post, Fakakta, but now, please, let's lighten up?
