  • @Aulelia27 Yes, and what a despicable hypocrite!!!! Here was a man who was an arch racist white supremacist and segregationist. Yet when it came to the bedroom he had no problem with integrating his penis into a black woman's vagina. I give him no credit at all for taking care of his own mulatto progeny financially. He did what he was supposed to do.

  • I love the way at the end of the video Ms Washington-Williams notes that his answer was neither yes or no that he had a black daughter when asked by his own son.

    What a coward!

  • This story has always puzzled me so much. Really makes me feel sick what he did to her.

  • @ElectricShark Totally agree with you - why didn't he acknowledge her in public??

  • @direfranchement  Does she ever mention the relationship between her mother and Strom?

  • @ElectricShark

    It's not quite that simple--- he didn't acknowledge her publicly, but he financed her education and her upbringing privately.  She had a relationship with him all along, although it was out of the public eye.
