Ben Affleck embarrassed by slave owner ancestor . . .

. . . but somehow not embarrassed by his voluntary association with Obama and Democrat Party

• Ironies abound
• Cracker in Michele’s woodpile
• Irony for the gods

Ben Affleck, bad but wealthy actor and prominent Democrat / liberal, is in the news of late because according to Newsmax:  Ben Affleck Demanded PBS Delete Information on Slave-Holding Ancestor,   and Slate: Ben Affleck Asked PBS to Ignore Slave-Owning Family Past in TV Show. From the Slate article:

Ben Affleck really didn’t want the public to know his ancestors owned slaves. The actor and director asked PBS to conveniently ignore that part of his family tree for the program Finding Your Roots, according to the hacked Sony emails that were recently made public via WikiLeaks.

 It is has long been a Democrat thing to diminish people for not being of the right genetic makeup. The party has a long association justifying slavery, a fratricidal war to protect it, diminishing black people with Jim Crow laws and later, blacks and whites, with affirmative action. The party’s links to the carnage of blacks and abortion and the black family in general,  dwarfs all that they were part of inflicting through the 1960’s.  But for  Ben and his fans benefit, the focus of the following links are as regards the irony of his concern over ancestral slave ownership and his attachment to the Democrat Party, given who heads it.

Ironies abound

Barrack Obama and wife Michelle both have slave holder blood. Yet white Americans with no ancestral connection to slavery are supposed to somehow be responsible for expiating what must be their overwhelming shame.

Barry Barrack had ancestral slaveholders extending back from both his mother and father, the latter including slave capture and trading.

Regarding Barry Barrack’s maternal ancestors: (via ABC News)  Obama, Romney Family Trees Hold Slaves, British Country Folk

Obama’s great-great-great-great grandfather George Washington Overall owned two slaves, a Baltimore Sun study found, based on 1850 census records.

According to this 2009 article by Cynthia Yockey, Obama’s people on his daddy’s side were likely hip deep in the business  Obama’s Kenyan ancestors sold slaves

I didn’t watch the coverage yesterday of Obama’s visit to Ghana and his speech at Cape Coast Castle there, which served as holding quarters and a departure point from West Africa for slave traders. I’m thinking Obama couldn’t resist fanning the flames of African-American resentment and racism during his trip to Africa. Plus, maybe he wanted to pump up some of the rapidly dwindling supplies of white guilt. Or see if he could reinstate the race card system that expired at noon on January 20, 2009, when he took the oath of office of President of the United States. His best hope to achieve any or all of these objectives was to choose a West African country and hope no one in the state-run media would think to wonder why he didn’t choose Kenya in East Africa, the land of his father and his father’s tribe, the Luo, which also was a major slave-trading center.

One reason may be that New World blacks would be descended from West Africans. However, I am suspicious that another reason is that on both his mother’s AND his father’s side of the family, Obama is descended from people who owned and/or sold black African slaves. How ironic that Obama received almost universal support from blacks who are here because their ancestors were grabbed up and sold into slavery by other black Africans, including Obama’s father’s tribe.

Or as Thomas Paine (sic) writing at Western Journalism trenchantly put it in this article  Obama: Descendant Of Slave Owners:

Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract, empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.

He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya . Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he portends he is exclusively.

What he isn’t, not a genetic drop of, is ‘African-American,’ the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn’t a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it.

Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.

Cracker in Michele’s woodpile

There is this Boston Globe article to explain it:  Michelle Obama’s ancestry linked to slave owners  and also this article from  Ed Pilkington writing in The Guardian (London)  Michelle Obama may have white slave-owner ancestor.     By the way there are inferences of rape in these stories relating to both Barry and Michele’s ancestry, making them, if true, “products of rape. ”  I could use the hard case abortion analogy here, but they support abortion of seven pound babies, no reason necessary.   Ironies for the gods.
