''It's hypocritical,'' said Joseph Lowery, co-founder and longtime head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. ''It is all too typical of many white segregationists who were segregationists by day but quite integrationists at night.'' NY Times

He supported her throughout the years, sending her checks and cards and paying her college tuition, although her lawyer refused to allow her to say how much money he had given her over the years. While she was in college and he was governor, he would come by limousine to see her on campus. Ms. Williams was instructed to tell people she and the governor were family friends. Not many people believed them. NY Times

At the same time Mr. Thurmond was electrifying segregationist rallies with statements like, ''all the bayonets of the Army cannot force the Negro into our homes,'' he was taking his hidden daughter into his home, in this case the governor's mansion. True to the spirit of the days, she came through the back door. NY Times

U2, from the NY Times! Later in life, he changed his views, hiring many blacks to work in his office and supporting a national holiday honoring the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. All along the way, he supported black colleges -- and one student in particular. Ms. Williams, who studied at the all-black South Carolina State College and went on to become a teacher, described a warm but confusing relationship with her father.

which is why he kept his daughter in the closet by paying her off until his death. After running for President on the single issue of the suppression and segregation of an entire race of human beings based on the color of their skin. After rallying hundreds of thousands of angry, racist Americans to speak out forcefully against the equal treatment of the Negros and to match that anger with a vote.

What a great man.

U#, I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. Point is, his daughter didn't know till later on who her father was! She never spoke I'll of him, and he obviously was man enough to take care of his own while financially providing for her and allowing her in his professional work place! Hypocrisy is what you should be addressing if you think highly of how he publicly portrayed himself. Behind closed doors, he wasn't that man! Sheep will be sheep though, and he politically capitalized on that.

He 100% believed in the statement of this video. You can not do enough in your later life to make up for running for Leader of the free world on the single issue of suppression and subjugation of other human beings because of their skin color.

And even if he tried, Thurmond never, ever recanted his statements nor did he have a voting record supporting minority rights. He was a racist his whole life, and he fathered a baby with the maid then paid hush money to save face. These are facts.

U2, ok, ummmm whatever. Maybe his daughter is an Uncle Tom or a House Nigga or something! Nothing new, there are plenty running around these days! Putting a child through college and supporting them is hush money huh? Having said child come to your office in plain view of other whites is hush money huh? Everyone has a right to their opinion I guess.
