Ben Affleck’s ancestors owned slaves and he doesn’t want you to know. So that infamous beer-summit pipsqueak, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., host of PBS’s Finding Your Roots, censored the awkward discovery about Ben’s family out of his show. They should rename the show Finding Your Roots And Covering Them Up.

Since Mr Affleck is so ashamed about his ancestors owning slaves, maybe he should contribute all his earnings to the UN Anti-slavery program. And get his commie pal Damon to do the same.
Ben owes someone 40 acres and a mule.
And, whatever we paid to see his movies.
Especially Daredevil.
Honest I can not even remember seeing him in a movie...Either I am behind the times, or he is that forgettable.
Good Will Hunting was good. Since then? Blech!
Never saw that, it didn't have naked womens, car crashes and gunfire...(snark)
Take a good look at that pic of Affleck.
Do you REALLY believe he would want to be around naked women?
Why deny your ancestors? Seems to me that Benny would embrace his ancestors and then apologize for them. PUSSY dip shit.
Dip shits are all about 1st amendment until its found it might be an embarrassment to them.
Kinda knocks the wind out of his sails. He can't get on his soapbox and condemn others for having slave owners as ancestors. Now that it is he himself that is one of the evil ones, he can't preach white guilt from an innocent and detached high horse. Makes it hard to preach reparations and such when you could lose millions. Plus even he can see the hypocrisy of doing so.
obama talking about cuba this week said the cold war was in the past and should not be a factor in talks, but slavery ended a century and a half ago
For heaven's sake, lets not tell the TRUTH about democrats. It would ruin their image that they have so carefully lied about since about 1966.

There I fixed it for you.
Thanks....You are a wise man....
Ben Affleck should worry less about his slave-owning ancestors and more about the tens of thousands still enslaved today. Of course, to do so would mean speaking out against Islam, sexual exploitation, human trafficking, and other things engaged in and supported by the Democratic party.
