What even sweeter is a black man broke Thurman's record in which his filibuster was in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Thurman was a racist and a bigot. He hated black people but he love them as slaves working on the plantation to enrich the white men.

AND he completely obliterated Ted Cruz’s filibuster protesting Americans getting healthcare. See a pattern here?
