James Strom Thurmond Sr. was an American military officer, attorney, judge and politician who served for 48 years as a United States Senator from South Carolina. He ran for president in 1948 as the Dixiecrat candidate on a states' rights platform supporting racial segregation.
So fucking cold blooded. Like you made your child, Strom, you don't get to decide she's not up to "your standards" after you fucking helped create her. Jesus fucking Christ, every time I learn something new about these fuckers (and I know a fair bit already) I'm still flabbergasted. I really should learn to be less surprised.
From what I remember, he made infrequent contact with her and her mother and secretly paid her tuition. Still doesn't change the fact that he deprived her of an actual father and was actively trying to make things worse for people like her, mind you.
Had to Google who that was, yikes...

He had a black child that he abandoned because she was black. He was know as the biggest racist in the senate. That’s quite a tall order.

jesus. like how the Kennedys lobotomized their less than daughter, strom kept away from his kid for political purposes.
if it were basic racism it'd be simple. these people will take the shape of whatever environment they're poured in.
