EXCLUSIVE: Ben Affleck wanted his slave owner ancestor 'censored' from Finding Your Roots PBS documentary - and show's host covered it up, leaked emails reveal
Hollywood star explored his family's past on PBS documentary Finding Your Roots but viewers were not told one ancestor owned slaves
Leaked Sony emails reveal how Henry Louis Gates Jr told a friend Affleck was trying to 'censor' documentary - a breach of PBS rules
Gates asked his friend Sony boss Michael Lynton for advice and was told by Hollywood chief: 'I would take it out if no one knows'
Instead show was about prominent liberal Affleck's Freedom Rider mother and distant ancestor who was mystic in civil war
Gates claimed today that the slave-owning ancestor was not 'interesting'
Latest embarrassing disclosure from leaked Sony emails posted by Wikileaks raises questions over PBS's integrity and for Gates, a Harvard professor
主要内容是说,Ben希望通过PBS的寻根纪录片改变自己祖上黑奴奴隶主的档案(估计是与与自身的政治立场有关,所以谁是谁非我们客观对待,最好的态度就是闭嘴),来源是之前索尼被泄露的邮件
而这封邮件正好揭露了Ben的动机与目的。具体内容就不翻译了。大致就是这个意思。本来这个内容不想发出来,但想到超蝙红了之后肯定有大批黑子来黑本。与其让黑子来黑Ben让Ben的粉丝以及路人粉动摇,不如事先说明清楚让大家心里有个数。
Ben可能因政治立场上的需要,是人都能理解。同时,这封邮件的可信度我们也要打问号。所以恳请各位不要妄自菲薄,也不要为Ben贴金,站在客观立场上就好。
