[illicitlove]

Jennifer Garner a white woman from TX getting dragged on tiktok for being racist and condescending to Regina King in this viral video and I'm here for it. Time for people to see her true colors.

jennifer garner might have been born in TX but she was raised in west virginia and...(no offense) that explains a lot tbh

ikr, before I clicked on it I was like "Is there a second Jen Garner ?"

Can you explain more? Asking as a Canadian.

That Ben comment is dumb as hell bc he tried to stop his Finding Your Roots episode from airing when it was revealed his ancestors owned slaves.

[raisedawolf]

thank you lol. anyone holding ben affleck up as a virtuous person is either dumb or uninformed bc really???? you think that guy gives af?? also why does it always gotta come back to being desired or undesired by a man? it’s just reductive and adds nothing to the conversation. 🙄

Plus isn't he an alcoholic immature cheating man-baby that put her through hell?

[aiyaiyai]

this. it's one of the most pathetic stunts he's pulled, which is saying something considering he's an Affleck brother and their magic bag of bullshit is literally bottomless

[totteringg]

Apparently the context was that was the topic of the whole episode of the show

I went and started watching this episode and it’s called the American experience and literally everyone is getting asked how did there parents get to America and where they came from.

well i feel a bit misled

[asnindie]

Ah alright because I was thinking surely she can't be that stupid

[sandstorm]

Even with the context, there's not a real...idk, kind? Way to ask an African American where our ancestors are from knowing a big part of that may have been erased.

[violue]

i don't know much about my ancestors. i mean i assume there's a history of slavery because on my mom's side the family name is McCall and a lot of the family is in Virginia, but i don't have like a family tree or anything.

People really believe every edited clip they see on Tik Tok.

Depp's debacle was not enough apparently.
