Ben Afleck

[2A_Tom]

According to the story Afleck influenced them not to reveal he had slave owner in genes.

I guess a liberal will not be hurt by this.


After omitting details of Ben Affleck?s slave-owning ancestor, ?Finding Your Roots? is suspended by PBS - The Washington Post

 

[SpiritClump]

That's interesting he wanted to keep that part out of it. I'm sure there are millions of people with ancestors who owned slaves or even other things that would be considered morally wrong today. Things were different then. I'm glad things have changed, I'm just saying that was the norm in the 1800's.

Gates said since he lost his job,he may have to go back to breaking into houses.

HHhhhhmmmmm......

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Why would Afleck do that? Look at all that "white guilt" currency he's wasting!

 

[Cygnus]

Ben has to be ostracized for his slave owner blood. He is rife with culpaability for things peoiple did hundreds of years ago !!!!

(Says the man whose family came here in the 1930's)


No surprise though, Ben is a douche and Boston is one of the most racist cities in the world.

Boston is one of the most racist cities in the world.

I have witnessed far more public racism in Boston than I have in Atlanta, Alabama, Tennessee and Texas combined.

Only because us Irish-Americans hate everyone!

Apparently, Ben Can'tAct has come out as a believer in Original Sin.
That alone should alienate him from the rest of the idiots who populate much of Hollyweird.

 

[Doug]

20% to 40% (depending on the state) of free Blacks in the south owned Black slaves.
We should check Al Sharpton's ancestry.

Best line in "Team America" song "Pearl Harbor Sucked",

"I need you more than Ben Affleck needs acting school...He was terrible in that film
I need you more than Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part
He's way better than Ben Affleck."

I literally guffawed at the Theater when I heard that...It was the first time I realized he can't really act......

My point was that as a liberal it will just go away, but had a conservative done the same thing they would be crucified.

Yep, and crucified both ways: 1) for trying to keep his family history of owning slaves hidden, and 2) for actually having that history to begin with.

 

[Hornett]

From the article

“How does Affleck’s reluctance to discuss his personal connection to the slave-owning past make him different from 200 million or so other white Americans, who seem overwhelmingly and suspiciously eager to consign that entire topic to the historical oubliette, the category of Stuff That Doesn’t Matter Anymore and Maybe Never Did?”

I absolutely refuse to be responsible for what someone in my ancestry did 6 generations ago.

Anecdotal and refutable.

 

[indiucky]

YES!

Please be sure and bring her to an INGO meet and greet....In the summer....When it's really hot....And we are maybe having a swimming party....
