Hollywood movie star Ben Affleck has two additional slaveholding ancestors. S.L. Speisseger, who owned 3 slaves in Chatham County Georgia in 1840, according to 1840 U.S. Census, and Georgia A. Speissegger Cole, who owned 1 slave in 1863 and 1864, according to Savannah and Chatham County, Georgia tax digests found by the Daily Beast.
This brings the total number of Afflecks known slaveholding ancestors to 14, and the number of slaves either owned or held as a trustee or on behalf of an estate by these ancestors to 242.

Lil Benny is wishing he had quietly accepted that 1st one !!!
LOL
Add to the bargain that he is a lousy actor, I mean LOUSY! He also can’t write.
Also you forgot the most important thing..he has butt cheeks where his face should be( South Park reference)
Man, Ben owes MAJOR reparations!
Ben, you are GUILTY, man! Guilty, guilty, guilty! It is because of YOU that black people are oppressed! How can you DARE show your face in public ever again? You’ve got White Privilege coming out the wazoo!
Yeah, I do get it. But all this is going to do is reinforce his ‘white guilt’ and encourage him to do more evil.
well they better start digging up those slaves graves and give them their reparations.....the war on poverty has given up enough reparations....ie: other mens taxes to give to their favorite race. (some whites also take welfare, not just blacks)but they don’t get reparations...so theydon’t count.
I bet he still has slaves!
They say Si Senior... as they clean his home, tidy up the lawn, wash the car.
And some of his ancestors ate babies.
“...Crawling out of the woodwork.”
The issue was he wanted that information edited out of the broadcast.
He is the one who made a big deal out of it.
I agree that it *normally* wouldn't be a conservative/liberal issue.
But Ben wanted to be thought of as having ancestry as pure as the driven snow.
He thought his $hit doesn't stink. Only "little people" have slave-holding ancestors. Not a big, important guy like himself.
That Bass Tuhd!!!
Lots of Speisseger history in St. Augustine.
The Speisseger's lived on a wooded tract in West Augustine. They were a reclusive bunch.
Al shitton and jesse jerkson had slaves too. made them build pyramids too.
Who cares
I’m not ashamed and make no apologies
The main story, IMHO, is that he would feel the need or shame to try to cover up who his ancestors were and what they did. I agree with you, it is not his fault what his ancestors did.
One side of the family was too poor to own slaves. The other side didn’t even get here until after Civil War I.
