Sunday so have some fun day. This place looks waterlogged>>>>>> And read between the lines. This big wedding is designed to advertise an sell off this doomed turkey of a property
Why do Historians make such a big damn thing over something like this? It’s his property...
In 2015, the Hollywood actor tried to suppress details about Benjamin Cole, a relative on his mother’s side who owned several slaves in Chatham County, near his 87-acre Hampton Island property.

Because you’re totally responsible for what your ancestors did 150 years before you were born.
Now just a cotton-pickin' minute!
And, wouldn’t Lopez be able to trace back to a Spanish Conquisidor?
If I had a place like that I would walk around smoking a cigar, wearing a straw hat, and cracking a large bullwhip, saying in a loud voice, “Now Ah jus’ know y’all are gonna love mah special mint julep! Where is that lazy fellow, Rasmussen? RASMUSSEN!!! Get these nice people some drinks, will you?”
Researcher? Henry Louis Gates? Do some research on the researcher. He’s the guy who went nuts when he was found to be breaking into his own house and arrested because he went ballistic. Obama involved—”The cops acted stupidly.” The Beer Summit?
I’m no fan of celebrities, but the whole racist thing is itself a racist thing. Depend on it.
Weird that we never see stories about descendants of black slave owners being called out for what their relatives did, of which there were many apparently.
Also, wasn’t the vp’s relatives slave owners? Guess there is a double standard on the left... shocking I know.
Why doesn’t the media mention today how Bidens open border policy is returning slavery to the USA in droves? A lot of these illegals end up enslaved to the cartels for bringing them over the border and they end up paying them off for life. A lot of them get stuck in the USA unable to return to their countries because they are broke.
I read out in the Hamptons in Long Island NY where just about every rich liberal owns property, the illegals have to camp out in the woods because they can’t afford housing. So it’s even WORSE than slavery in the past. This time their Democrat slave masters won’t even pay for their housing. If the Republican party had any brains they would be exploiting the hell out of this

We just watched a home makeover show and the crew was hired to renovate a modern stucco 9,000sf house owned by an NBA player. It had large round pillars at the entrance way.
Of course the player’s wife had to make it known that this feature triggered her because it made the house look like a plantation and she didn’t care what they did as long as they got rid of those pillars.
So what if an ancestor was a slave owner.
Do his descendants still own them?
Are the descendants of those slaves still slaves?
Why pick that scab unless healing isn’t the goal.
The current citizens cannot be held responsible for the actions of their ancestors.
I’m the polar opposite of a fan of Hollywood scumbags like Affleck and J=Lo, but this is utterly asinine. Let me get this straight... it’s now “racist” to have a wedding at a large Greek-revival style home? Because it resembles the big house on a slavery-era plantation? Even if it’s a new building that is not and has never been big the house on a slavery-era plantation? So, basically, a certain style architecture is now racist?
Large Greek-revival homes can be found in Santa Rosa, California, as well as a fair number of other California towns with late 19th century homes largely built by and for families that left the South after the Civil War, These houses are now racist and unsuitable for social events such as weddings? Uh huh.
This whole controversy is contrived and silly. JLo and Affleck were married months ago in Las Vegas.
Architecture be raciss.
Nothing says desperate like marrying the guy who dumped you and broke your heart 15 years or so ago. 😏
So now home styles are racist. What idiots.
All the drama was taken from the New York City slave market when the financial community had a local trophy shop make up a nice plaque recognizing New Yorks’ centuries of abuse and had Mayor Bill de Blasio tearfully unveil the little memorial in 2015 at the corner of Wall and Water Streets.
So take your local high school seniors to the New York City slave market and spend, spend, spend without guilt.
Everything has been rectified.

>>>Ben Affleck tried to sell his sprawling Greek Revival “imitation” plantation — the site of his elaborate wedding to Jennifer Lopez Saturday — three years after revelations surfaced that one of his ancestors was a slave-owning Georgia sheriff.<<<
HAHAHA! Love this!
