She added: "And it is wonderful that (Sharpton) was able to become what he is in spite of what his forefather was." (Quote from a niece of Thurmond's)

That is hilarious, as though the man's enslavement was his own doing. This quotation should have read, "And it is wonderful that (Sharpton) was able to become what he is in spite of the would-be crippling oppression endured by his forefather and the oppression that many African Americans still encounter today."
