Did Strom Thurmond like 'em dark?

I don't know much about Strom, but is he actually known to have hated minorities? His position on segregation could have come from a combination ignorance and political pragmatism instead of from hatred.

Maybe he genuinely believed that "separate but equal" would be best for everyone.

It seems he would have noticed that it didn't work at some point, though.
