Title: Larry David discovers he had slave-owning Confederate ancestors in Alabama

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" actor/comedian Larry David said he was taken aback by discovering ancestors who owned slaves in antebellum Alabama, according to a story by USA Today.

Henry Louis Gates Jr. -- the Harvard professor and host of PBS' "Finding Your Roots" -- said he's been trying to get David on his show for years, and he'll finally appear on tonight's season premier. The show traces the ancestral roots of celebrities.

Those roots had more than one interesting surprise for David.
"I was shocked. I was completely blown away." - Larry David receives surprising news about his ancestry on the season premiere of #FindingYourRoots on 10/03 @ 8/7c on @PBS! Read more via @USATODAY: https://t.co/WUaSg3iP6H -- Henry Louis Gates Jr (@HenryLouisGates) September 27, 2017
An arm of his family apparently settled in what is now the Birmingham area during the 1840s. His great-grandfather owned two slaves and fought for the Confederacy.


Poster Comment:

This Gates is the same Gates from 0bama's early "beer summit".

And his show on PBS earlier exposed the slaveowner ancestry of Ben Affleck who had three different slaveowners around the Confederacy in his family tree.

DailyMail.co.uk: link

Ben Affleck has at least three ancestors who owned slaves including a wealthy landowner who bought a young boy who he appears to have set to work in his tanning business.

The Batman star's distant family can be traced to Connecticut and in 1728 they paid 80 pounds for a slave called Tobe who they kept until he was grown up.

The bill of sale refers to Tobe as a 'negro boy' which the previous owner 'sold as my proper estate'.

Tobe's owner was called Nathaniel Stanley and was known as a smart man of 'respected piety and evangelical sentiments' - but that did not stop him keeping slaves.

Affleck's other slave owning ancestors were a man in Georgia and an Irish farmer from New Jersey who owned eight slaves.

None of these details were shown in the episode of Finding Your Roots which featured Affleck after host Henry Louis Gates Jr edited them out, leaked Sony emails have revealed.

. . .

Toward the end, they mention Anderson Cooper's ancestor who owned a slave who murdered him. The slave was promptly hanged.

Funny how many of these raging libs have slaveowners in their family trees that they don't want us to know about.

If you're white and American and your ancestors have been here for a long time and were people of any quality, there are slaveowners in your background, and as likely as not you've got black first cousins quite a bit fewer times removed than Noah's generation.

Yeah but the rest of us don't lecture other people sanctimoniously about race issues and the horrors of America's legacy of slavery.

And of course, the vast majority of white people in this country are not related to slaveowners. They never constituted more than 6% of the population even in the Confederacy and less than that in the North. And the largest groups of whites in this country came here after the Civil War was over and we had nothing to do with slavery whatsoever.

That said, I'm all in favor of people like Larry David, Ben Affleck, and Anderson Cooper to pay reparations for what their ancestors did to slaves in this country.

Yes, but what I originally said was this:

When I say "for a long time", I don't mean 100 years - that's only two generations in my family (my grandmother was born in 1897, my great aunt, in 1886). I mean generations and generations.

Those of us who go back to colonial days are descended from slaveowners.

I'm fine with that: it's history.

All white European Protestants are descended from Catholics too, if you go back far enough.

We're all descended from Noah and Naamah too. And therefore, from Lamech and Zillah, and Cain's line between Lamech and Cain, Cain himself, and Adam and Eve. Lots of common relatives way back there.
