    10:20 When a slave master rapes a 15 yo child who is their slave, that is considered a HORRIBLE DISGUSTING relationship. Foh with the ''on the other hand.'' NO excuses for vile human beings.

    2019 just watching this and whole part is and always will be cloudy, in fact from 9:58 - 10:40 says it all, the saddest part not only of the video - of our country. Now, I wish that professor Gates would go back and tell Ben Affleck to man up and put that episode on. I think Gates's decision not to air that episode does validate & harm in a very subtle way the real class and color divide in this country. I am sure he explains to his guests that they don't know what they will find: THAT is the show for goodness sakes!! The fact that Affleck had slave owners in his family became public anyway..I love that show, though stopped watching because that ignorant and seemingly elites/fame has power decision. The other day I came across the show and it was the episode that included Marisa Tomi. I truly miss watching the program.

    Of course it can never be consensual...one is a slave and the other owns that slave (as disgusting as it was to even write those words). The human being who is enslaved whether it was an African girl or an African boy can never truly consent to this with such a huge (evil and immoral as it is) power imbalance. There was no "relationship"...there was only crimes of rape.

    How people want you to deny part of heritage if it's European especially. Then run that one drop rule which no longer is used here in the states that came from slave owners. I'm not a Jeter fan but he can't help whom his ancestors are or how he looks. You're only black if you came out dark skin apparently. He's not out here bashing darksin women or making excuses why he does light to white. It's usually DARK skin men that Nash our darker skin sisters. Rather than just saying its a preference they'll make all kind of excuses even blaming women for their choices.

      Which is probably a good thing. It would be a little false and forced if he identified with it deeply without any deeper experiences tying him to it. It's definitely something he could seek out and attempt to educate himself about better. But ancestry and lived experience aren't interchangeable.

  • @wizardkellysmith2482
    @wizardkellysmith2482 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Ok this isn't that significant. If one of his great grandfathers was mixed that means his father probably was about 15% or so white. That's actually low for black people in America. Jeter is probably about 60% white and 40% black then give or take some numbers
