I am not a huge fan but Denzel was great in "Training Day". But his slave ancestors deserve the credit. They came here in chains from Africa and worked the cotton and other crops 7 days a week. Would Denzel be happier if his ancestors were left behind in Africa? How dare he says he's an ex-slave! This is garbage.

We merely stand on the shoulders of giants. Same for Denzel. Same for me, I thank my grandparents for coming here from Europe and enduring terrible living conditions for my parents and me.

Nothing left but a few lion farts! Or maybe a hippo burp!
