Ben Affleck Apologizes for PBS Slavery Censorship: ‘I Was Embarrassed’

Beat his breast and tear his hair? Wear sack cloth and cover himself with ashes for 40 days and 40 nights? How can the man live with knowing his ancestors, 150 years ago, owned slaves? When he learned of his tainted lineage, how old was he? Do you think his parents tried to keep it a secret from him, until he was old enough to understand the horrible truth? Will he kiss Jesse Jackson's arse and apologize?

What did you do, you horrible white people, when you discovered you descended from slave owners?

Ben Affleck doesn't exactly represent white people. It's his choice to feel ashamed.

People like Scrooster on the other hand love the fact that their ancestors owned slaves, and they still wish slavery existed today.

Go far enough back and anyone will find someone in their family tree who owned slaves. The American slave trade is what we, as Americans, always focus on, but slavery existed before recorded history on every inhabited continent. Society has, for the most part, evolved past the traditional definition of slavery but it is human nature for the strong to exploit the weak for personal gain.

I said it in the OT thread for this, but I highly encourage you all to check out Bill Maher and Affleck go at it over radical Islam. Maher absolutely crushed him with facts, and Affleck lost his cool on so many levels.

I think it puts things into perspective when Bill Maher is even spoken out against the topic

As poor as my recent decendents have been, I don't assume my close ancestors owned any slaves, although I know very little about my ancestry.

I'm just glad it was 150 years ago and that our countrymen have learned that's not the way to treat others.

Are we talking about a specific instance of slavery or just slavery in general?
It has existed in one form or another since we were exploded into existence or created on the worktable by the big guy (depending on what you believe)

He'll kiss Jesse Jackson's dick while digging Jesse's lovechild's fetus out with a rainbow flagpole.

And you're not allowed to criticize that because 28th amendment, you white privilege cracka.

Affleck didn't give one shite. If he didn't say anything probably wouldnt have been a big deal and gone unnoticed. Or the media could have portrayed him as a racist so that's probably why he said something.

I think that I would be embarrassed as well, if I found out such a thing about my ancestors.

Fortunately, my ancestors have never held slaves... on this continent.
