The Rev. Al Sharptoon wants a DNA test to determine if he is one of Strom Thurmonds long lost kin. Seems like the Rev. Al thinks he is an offspring of Strom Thurmonds great grand daddy.
If this is true can you imagine the next family gathering with the Al The Thug in attendance?
NEW YORK - The Rev. Al Sharpton said he wants a DNA test to determine whether he is related to former segregationist Sen. Strom Thurmond through his great-grandfather, a slave owned by an ancestor of the late senator.

I'm thinking this is a ploy by Al just to get attention. Does anyone really care if he's related?
I sure don't. Apparently, as racist as Thurmond was for much of his life, people don't realize that Al pretty much is, too.
Remember the lies behind the Tawana Brawley case? I sure do.

No, but they were lovers for years until a bitter squabble about strawberry jelly ruined the relationship.
