Slavery was a disgusting practice, but his desire to cover it up shows what a phony, image conscious a-hole he is. I suspect his advocacy for "the unfortunate" runs as deep as is convenient for him.

And also, does he really think people give that much of a shite what his ancestors did 200 years ago?
"Well, I was gonna see that new Batman movie, but Affleck's great great great granddad owned slaves."

This too. I cannot fault a person for what their ancestors did. I'd bet that during multiple points in one's ancestry you could find both slaveholder and slave.
It shows how warped his thinking is. Wouldn't it be a better story/picture that a great great grandson of a slaveholder is an advocate, albeit shallow advocacy, for civil rights?
