What Can You Say About This?

OK, what can you say about this?

NEW YORK - Genealogists have found that civil rights activist the Rev.
Al Sharpton is a descendent of a slave owned by relatives of the late
Sen. Strom Thurmond, a newspaper reported Sunday.

The Daily News said professional genealogists, working at the
newspaper's behest, recently uncovered the ancestral ties between one of
the nation's best known black leaders and a man who was once a prominent
defender of segregation.

"I have always wondered what was the background of my family," the
newspaper quoted Sharpton as saying. "But nothing - nothing - could
prepare me for this."

"It's chilling. It's amazing."

Amazing. Good word.
