The fun part would be to do a geniological study to see if he really is a decendant of a slave.

"He wouldn't even allow Meryl Streep to get her opinion in edge wise."
This is probably not a bad thing in and of itself.
On the other hand, he did challenge Streep on her ridiculous JESUS/BUSH campaign comments regarding the Bible....saying "turn the other cheek isn't all it said". Also he was defensive about being lumped in with Hollywood people, and seemed upset the Troops weren't getting more of a welcome. Maybe I have missed comments he has made in the past, but it seemed to me he was actually trying to say he didn't agree with the Hollywood/Streep nutjobs without actually saying it (after all it DOES kill careers). Maybe Denzel is the biggest Lib ever, but the part I saw, something was a bit different there.
"Denzel, "I didn't see it, I live in America, I grew up here, I'm an ex-slave"
We can pitch in and buy him a ticket to The Sudan,where his former occupation is still being practised.
I do not want to dilute your point, but I think that you should choose better examples.
Working on a plantation (or farm) does not equal slavery. Preparing meals for an entire household is not slavery, and being a driver for someone does not mean slavery.
I can think of people I know today who do each of those things, who are happy people who are not slaves at all.
Think about it.
I'm an ex-slave.
According to his logic, I’m a former slave owner.
Maybe I can still legally whip his ass.
"Denzel, "I didn't see it, I live in America, I grew up here, I'm an ex-slave"
He's doing pretty good for an ex-slave.
If he REALLY wants to see slavery, maybe he should visit the Sudan.
But then Washington and Meryl Streep are just a couple of overpaid prostitutes wtih an identity crisis and no brains.
I'm an ex-slave too.....Why not? I can paddle the boat too ya know.
Denzel, "I didn't see it, I live in America, I grew up here, I'm an ex-slave"
What a great answer...I understand it completely...Let me rephrase it for y'all..."I'm Denzeel America and was a stuned beeber in Washington, you slave ex-er I didn't see in Tijunna..."

Aw man! Please tell me that Denzel didn't drink the koolaid too he's made some great films....
Perhaps he meant that he was freed from the liberal left wing welfare plantation. And he is no longer a slave of those ideas anymore ? Just a thought.
I guess that would make me a ex-indentured servant.
You guys might be overreacting. I can't claim to actually understand that sentence, but 1) he didn't see the "movie" and 2) he challenged Streep, so who knows.
On the other hand, he's in the Manchurian candidate which apparently is a huge dig against republicans.
Here in Atlanta PBS is playing the original "Manchurian Candidate" with Frank Sinatra and Angela Landsbury.
I guess PBS didn't get the memo. It's a Bush Bashing movie all previous copies need to be bergered.
One can hope!
I've often wondered why Blacks did not take the PR stance that said, 'if anyone has truly earned the title of American Citizen, it is us.' They were as instrumental in the development of infant America as any group of people could ever hope to be.
Sometimes I think that the same PR propensities presently driving the NAACP are identical to those of the PLO. Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Well, thank God! She's twice the blowhard he is.
