    Gates - a respected Harvard academic - has said nothing for five days and was described by one commentator as 'diminished' by the disclosures. So he was fine with it until he was found out. Typical leftist. They're not sorry about all the bad things they do, they're only sorry when they're caught. Just like criminals.

    Ben Affleck has at least three ancestors who owned slaves including a wealthy landowner who bought a young boy who he appears to have set to work in his tanning business.So what?

    150 years ago.
Does he still have rights to a few? I didn’t think so.
This falls under stupid sh!t that doesn’t matter.

    His three ancestors were:
Simon Legree (Uncle Tom’s Cabin)(an atheist northerner slaveholder)
Warren Maxwell (Mandingo), and
Calvin Candie (Django Unchained)

    Just think...
the chances are great that Ben has black kin from those erstwhile slave owners...

a diverse family...

    Why should we be made to feel guilty for the actions of our ancestors by people who can’t control their own children?
