Okay Ben Affleck or is it Afleck tried to hide his family history. Dr. Gates asked his supervisors if he should and they said no. Gates never should have had to ask. That in itself offers a question about ethics. Would they hide other facts if the person seeking family history is related to someone at PBS ? Someone who didn't want the history out there? The fact that Ben is a "megastar" is supposed to make a difference because a celebrity money it appears by Henry Gates.
Here's where I stand. Baby Bens' mistake was asking to have his family history of slave ownership hidden. WHY? This is his family's history, not him! Trying to hide these kinds of things makes it appear that reparations are owned This generation never owned a slave, nor did the last generation...and I don't know further back than that. Ben you owe nothing except maybe some guilt over trying to keep it hidden. If you didn't want the public to know, this is a show not to go on.
NOW we see that celebrities can, have and will continue to get special treatment, all because they have money, and that's the worst part of this whole story. One TV anchor stated how much good Ben does. Sure and he also makes sure it's publicized.
