I think he just found out that Ben Affleck has an ancestor who was a slave owner, and that Ben tried to hide that fact from coming out.
Not like it reflects on Ben Affleck in any way at all.

But, Ben is from Boston, and so there is that connection.
I don't really care that Ben has an ancestor who owned slaves; that was not what made Ben famous today.

Unfortunately there is just enough racist spice in that stew that gets some of the others hungry for more.
