Sharpton 'shocked' by link to Thurmond's family

[Angry Panther]

Do you think this is true or is this just Al Sharpton trying to get publicity for himself. This all sounds too staged to me. I mean what are the chances.

I believe that you have the situation correctly assessed, Angry Panther!

1.  It's "Cannibalism History Month".

2.  It's the "Reverend" Al (Shakedown) Sharpton's way of saying..."All rite, now, you crackers in Souf' Car'lyna....Ah' wants me sum MONEY!....an, Ah' wants it NOW...yew betta' gib' me a lott'a MONEY if yew no whut's good fo' yew!

3.  An' if'n yew don't gimme sum, Ah's gwine show up down de'h in de plantation wif' a gang of scary negoroes, shoutin' fo' de' telebishun camras' 'bout how yew crackers 'dun stole muh' BLACK HERITAGE!

4.  Hill'a'ry 'dun gib' me da' permishun' to shake down de' honkeys!

Looks like Strom Thurmonds family made a bad business move buying any of Sharpton's ancestors.

Strom Thurmonds family should ask for there money back from Sharpton.

The Sharptons were probably lazy slaves.

The whole issue is quite comical. If Al is any representation of his ansestors the plantation owner would have went broke with slaves like that. I had to laugh today when I saw the article in the paper saying that the slave owners descendant refers to Al Sharpton as cousin Al when he sees him on TV .

It is strange that this story came out at this time. Sharpie has said that he may through his processed afro into the presidential race. Talk about free publicity. He is so convoluted that he could spin this story by saying that he is a part of American Royalty by being associated with the Thurmunds. This biped will do and say anything to line his pockets. I am waiting to see if his wife takes him to divorce court, I would love to hear the dirt she will throw on shady sharpton.

The way I see it, the Thurmond estate should send "The Reverend" Al Sharpton a bill for all the wear and tear on the bullwhips they had to use on his ancestors; and all to no avail!
