Goodgulf, here's another Strom Thurmond fact. He was violently opposed to civil rights and racial integration, claiming it would cause racial intermarriage, the big bugaboo for so many Southern whites. Later it came out, not too many years ago, that he had a child by a black mistress. A more current case might be all those conservative politicians and fundamentalist preachers who denounce honosexuality, then turn out to be closet cases themselves. |
