I remember the hoopla, but I never saw the series, I wonder how many of the white deaths and rapes at the hands of blacks result from that kind of message being constantly hammered into their consciousness over the last 45 years.
I saw a guy on one of the trashy daytime “talk” shows (Jenny Jones, Springer, et al.) who claimed that he’d watch “Roots” so that he’d get angry enough to go out and hurt white people.
However, the real story that Haley lifted from a WHITE author is about as bad as that portrayed in “Roots”.

I remember the big to-do about that series that I refused to watch — what a crock —
