        @TheOnion @BenAffleck I'm done raking you for your remarks. It's time to let go and have a laugh. Like I said I'd be embarrassed too. Peace

        @TheOnion @BenAffleck You can't chose your ancestors. But you can chose your movie roles. Gigli is more embarrassing than slavery

        @TheOnion @BenAffleck I am relieve to know that he is not celebrating them. That would have been the wrong position to take.
