found out that Darth Vader was his father has there ever been such an incredibly crazy revelation of family lineage as today. Al Sharpton, the black man who ran for President in 2004 calling for racial equality, might be related to Strom Thurmond, the now deceased crusty old white man who ran for President in 1948 as a segregationist. Holy crap! According to the people at Ancestry.com Sharpton's great-grandfather Coleman Sharpton was a slave owned by Julia Thurmond, whose grandfather was Strom Thurmond's great-great-grandfather.Nothing has been determined yet, but if this turns out to be true, this will be proof that God does indeed have a sense of humor. The only downside to this story is that it wasn't discovered three years ago before Thurmond passed on so that finding this out could have been what killed him. I look forward to the Oliver Stone version of this movie where that is what happens. Al Sharpton will be played by Samuel L. Jackson, and Strom Thurmond will be played by Peter O'Toole. The final line will be Samuel L. yelling, "Fillibuster!? I'll Fillibusta' cap in yo' motherf***in' ass!"
