Wasn't he on that PBS show and they told him his ancestors were slave owners?



But maybe this is just a publicity stunt for a woke reboot of Poltergeist.

The entire planet is built on top of dead people from one time or another. This is just more woke, white-guilt BS.

Unmarked slave graves, Indian burial ground, etc., etc., I think I’ve heard this one before.

The article just had to work in the word "plantation."
The "woke" Left is soooo transparent.

He should have used his super power x-ray vision. How thoughtless of him.

PBS might as well be dead in this house. I accidentally stumbled across Time Team America (an American take on the British show). Quel surprise—the first episode was about Negro grievances. Click.

Oh, BS. If they knew that now, they knew it before he built there and it would have been a thing. If they didn’t say something Before, they are making crap up for the show of it. Buck off.

The question now becomes “Will Ben jump down turn aroudn and pick a bail of cotton” to show his submission to the woke crowd?

Just when you think the idiotic busybodies had reached rock bottom with racist equestrian helmets and Los Angeles smog caused by rich white people hurting POCs more, they come up with this.

This is a real conundrum for me. My first instinct is to demand that Affleck’s house be burned to the ground. But that would contribute to Global Warming.

So I say bulldoze the place. Level it.
Oh, and no insurance payout, as Affleck must not be rewarded for his sins.

Plantation style, is noit my thing, but it looks like a pretty nice place. I think I can see Scarlett O'hara in the upstairs window.

They even have a theme song for the Plantation.

And yet, Socialist Democrats keep PLENTY of poor and uneducated people of all colors on their ‘plantation’ and no one says a thing about it.

Because it was “allegedly” and not “proven?”

Just saying.

Given the two million year history of the genus homo it’s hard to imagine and acre of habitable land that doesn’t include some fragment of human remains.

Yep. He asked that they leave that part out of the show, and they did. When it leaked out, PBS tried to say they skipped over that family history because there was more important stories to tell. Turns out he had three different ancestors that owned slaves.
