About Al Sharpton

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Sharpton

Incontrovertible data showed the woman who owned Sharpton's great-grandfather was related to Thurmond, the News said.
"You know for real that you are three generations away from slavery," Sharpton said after being told of his history. Informed by the paper of the Thurmond connection, he wondered aloud: "Strom Thurmond's family owned my family."
"It's chilling," he said. "It's amazing," before adding "Maybe I'm the revenge of Coleman." On a more serious note he reflected his past "gives you a sense of obligation."
