Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I whakaae a Ben Affleck i tēnei rā ki te ingoa o te tūpuna pononga i whakakahoretia e ia i tōna wā o mua. I whakairihia e te kaiwhakaari toa Oscar i runga i te pāpāho pāpori ko te 'Benjamin Cole' o Georgia, he tupuna i te taha o tona whaea, ko te whanaunga i tangohia mai i te whakaaturanga PBS mo tona hitori o te whanau. I tae mai te whakaaetanga i te ra i muri mai i tana whakapae mo te whakakore i te pono mo tana whanau o mua mai i te Rapu i ou pakiaka. I a ia e tuhi ana i runga i tana pūkete whaiaro, ka mea ia: 'He maha nga tangata e ui ana ko wai te tangata. Ko Benjamin Cole tōna ingoa - i noho ki Georgia i te taha o tōku whaea, tata ki te ono nga whakatupuranga ki muri.' Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Kua tono whakarere a Ben Affleck i muri i tana tono kia huna ngā mōhiohio mō tētahi whanaunga rangatira pononga i tētahi whakaaturanga PBS e pā ana ki ōna tīpuna. Te whakaaetanga: I pēhea a Ben Affleck i whakamōhio mai. I haere a Affleck ki Facebook ki te tuku i tana whakapae. Tata: Ko Ben Affleck me tana whaea o mua o te Freedom Rider, ko Chris Anne, i kitea i te Oketopa o te tau kua hipa i Los Angeles. Ko tana whaea, ko Chris Anne, i whakaatuhia i roto i te whakaaturanga, ehara i te mea i whai hua tana tupuna mai i te kirimana, engari na te mea he Kaihauturu o te herekore ia. Whai muri i tana putanga i runga i te Rapu i ou pakiaka me te ako ko tetahi o ona tupuna he rangatira pononga, i akiaki a Affleck i te whatunga ki te waiho i taua korero mai i te kaupapa i whakaatuhia tuatahihia e DailyMail Online, he tono i whakaaetia e nga kaihanga. Heoi, ko te whakaaetanga e tohu ana he maha ake pea nga tupuna o Affleck i neke atu i te kotahi. Ko tētahi atu i whakaingoatia i te rā nei e The Sun, ko James McGuire, e waru ana pononga i runga i tana pāmu i Trenton i New Jersey i ngā tau 1840. Kua tino whakaitihia e te kaupapa te kaiwhakaari, he kaitautoko rongonui mo nga take ohaoha, e whakahaere ana i tetahi mahi atawhai mo Awherika. Kua hinga hoki a PBS ki roto i te raru, ā, e ai ki tētahi kaitohutohu rongonui, kua 'iti' a Prof Henry Louis Gates Jr, te kaihautū o te whakaaturanga, he tohunga mātauranga o Harvard. Inanahi i tono mihi te kaiwhakaari mo te tono ki nga kaihanga kia waiho te ingoa i roto i tetahi pou i runga i Facebook, i te wa e whakamarama ana i ona take mo tana whakatau.

Kua whakakitea e Ben Affleck te ingoa o te tupuna rangatira pononga i whakahaua e ia kia tapahia e PBS mai i te Rapu i aku pakiaka. E ai ki a ia, ko tōna whaea, ko Chris Anne, he uri nō Benjamin Cole, he rangatira pononga nō Georgia, e ono ngā whakatupuranga ki muri. I tono mihi te toa Oscar inanahi mo te whakaatu i tana whakaaturanga PBS mo ona pakiaka pononga, i whakaatuhia tuatahihia i te wiki kua hipa e Daily Mail Online. 'Kāore au i hiahia kia whakaurua he tangata he pononga nei ki tētahi whakaaturanga pouaka whakaata e pā ana ki toku whānau. I whakama ahau,' i tuhituhi ia ki runga i a Facebook. Kua whakarewahia e PBS he tirotirohanga ā-roto mēnā i takahi rānei i a Finding Your Roots ō rātou paerewa whakatikatika, ā, kei te ruarua te heke mai o tōna kaihautū.
