White people problems

His integrity has been compromised.

This is what Gates doesn't understand. Because of this, I can't look at him the same. Both him and Ben have hurt their integrity.

 

[Danie84]

This is expected from a BostionianCaC

...Ben should have just face them Harsh Realities

 

[CashmereThoughts]

fukk Ben. Motherfukkers always wanna hide our history. fakkits

 

[Blackrogue]

Now what I'd like to find out is who these slaves were and their current descendants who are alive right now. .so they can know which white people to hate

 

[Trill McClay]

Yall some dumb nikkas

Right? A bunch of militants bringing up this bullshyt!

Spoiler

SIKE!! Take this NEG

 

[yardman]

some ya nikkas will go to the end of the world to defend cacs. I.e. some of the thread responses.
nikkas sounding like publicists.

 

[Edub]

I applaud his reaction...he recognizes scum in his line and dismisses them like he should. Not everyday cacs disown their family members (or at least act as they didn't exist) for bruhs...it's shameful and he sees it as such. And no I'm not a fan, but he didn't smirk a lil bit like Chelsey Handler did wit he Nazi granddaddy

Why did they choose this loser to be Batman? What's wrong with Christian Bale?

This movie will not even hold a candle to any of Bale's Batman movies.

You dont know shyt.

 

[USSInsiders]

Or maybe he did it out of respect for his minority fans that might be watching

"Respect?" If anything this looks 100000x worse that he tried to hide something. That's extremely disrespectful and cowardly. We can't control what our ancestors did. Hell, I prolly got an ancestor that was a flaming fakkit and sold his body to make ends meet pause, but if that were true, so what? Not a goddamn thing I can do except keep the tradition alive.

"Now, four or five of our guests this season descend from slave owners, including Ken Burns," Gates continued in the email, suggesting the actor's ancestor "wasn't even a bad guy."

THE MAN WAS A SLAVE OWNER. He profited from unpaid labour and he's not a 'bad guy'? Then again why am I even surprised. When he was arrested gates tried to use his white DNA as justification for why he shouldn't be mistreated. The good doctor got his wake up call that day. Doesn't matter how light you are, if you look black you are black as far as america is concerned.

@ stating he has "full control" of content, as if he owns the series and the network and he wasn't out here asking white people for advice so he could protect their precious feelings.
