Uber lib Ben Affleck: Censor my ancestors slave ownership! White privilege!

[bucs90]

Ben Affleck asked PBS to not reveal slave-owner ancestor MSNBC

Aww....an ultra liberal trying to erase his white privilege! He demanded a PBS documentary censor his ancestors slave ownership haha!!!!

Hes a liberal and a multi millionaire. ...obviously ONLY because of his ancestors slave ownership and white privilege he had as a result.

Amazing...he could've just accepted say...150k a year and donated all.his other millions to oppressed blacks who his ancestors kept down!

Ben Affleck is an actor, not a politician.

Even I know that.

This part is so revealing of Leftwing Ethics - the worst thing is to "get caught". Integrity Smegrity. Who cares what the right thing to do is?

In their email exchange, Gates asks Lynton for advice on how to handle Affleck’s request.

“Here’s my dilemma: confidentially, for the first time, one of our guests has asked us to edit out something about one of his ancestors — the fact that he owned slaves. Now, four or five of our guests this season descend from slave owners, including Ken Burns. We’ve never had anyone ever try to censor or edit what we found. He’s a megastar. What do we do?” Gates wrote on July 22, 2014.

Lynton replies that it all depends on who knows that the information was in the documentary already.


“I would take it out if no one knows, but if it gets out that you are editing the material based on this kind of sensitivity then it gets tricky. Again, all things being equal I would definitely take it out,” Lynton wrote that same day....

He wants to hide the atrocities of his ancestors? The horror!

Do you realize how crazy you would sound if you said that anywhere outside of an anonymous internet forum?

What a chicken shit.

That's typical of the Hollywood liberal elite. Condemn conservatives for things they had nothing to do with but cover up the skeletons in your own family's closet.

Who is condemning conservatives for things they had nothing to do with?
