"It's important to remember that this isn't a news program,"

That's OK -- neither are the news programs.

Who cares? So what if two idiots are in that family tree? I hope everyone else turned out OK.

Probably afraid he’d have to pay reparations.

Eff Gates and Affleck.
I have seen the show and gates goes out of his way to dig up the racial stuff.
That said, Eff Affleck.
It is not like you did it.

PBS is People Being Stupid. I couldn’t care less than I do because I won’t be watching.

Get over yourself, actor boy. Nobody cares.

Your ancestors have nothing to do with you. As an entertainer who feeds on attention and fame that must come as a surprise.

Take care of your wife and kids, make good movies and STFU. You're not that important.

Time for Gates to have another beer summit with the president and disinfect the wounds with beer, again..

What's the big deal about having slaveholder blood? Spike Lee was profiled on another ancestry show called "Who Do You Think You Are" and discovered his four or five times great grandfather was not only a slave owner but a slave trader.

Emmitt Smith of The Dallas Cowboys also descends from a slave owner.

Neither one of them tried to keep that from the viewer.

Ben Affleck OWES REPARATIONS! Cough up the money Ben...you owe a blood debt and, as an obedient progressive, you need to pay that debt.

What’s the matter Ben...reparations look a little less appropriate today?

I can sympathize with him. I’d probably do the same thing if they found a liberal in my family tree.

We deserve neither credit nor blame for our ancestors

I HATE HIM, but he was right in that regard.
