So, in order to perpetuate and promote more divisivness, the asshats remake a story that was mostly fiction by alex haley. Nice going there chicken george. Where's all the white actors filling in as slaves? I mean the new nancy drew is going to be "non-white" so why not cross-race the actors here too? That'd only be fair.

I enjoyed the original series. Hopefully this one is just as good.

I hope the original author gets the money this time, not that plagiarist Haley.

It won't be. It will be loaded up with Black Lives Matter and Give Us Reparations propaganda from the usual suspects.

Correct. From the looks of the trailer, it will only inflame the black community.........and bring more racism, hatred and division.......
Not a tool for healing old wounds.......but one for opening new ones...........
But then, I guess I’d better wait and see...........

This is one of those miniseries that I hope will be good and normally would look forward to seeing, but I just know they are going to completely ruin it with a bunch of P.C. / Black Lives Matter BS. So I’ll watch about 10 minutes of it and then probably shut it off.

All conveniently timed for the 2016 General Election.
Surprise surprise surprise!
To: Durbin
Same. Really enjoyed the first one.
To: Opinionated Blowhard
I’m kinda hoping they include more of the history of kwanzaa in to the series. LOL! Will they also add in how the mooselims tried in vain to save these folks from evil white men?

Could be good. I’ve been reading the Benjamin January Series. Hard to read but interesting. Also, see Spirited Away a Japanese anime from Studio Ghibli. The names of the two main characters are taken away by the evil witch and regaining it breaks the spell. I had forgotten the issue of remembering the name.

Not only fiction but posterized in large part from another author. Haley got sued and had to pay big bucks in fines.

The all-star remake of the iconic miniseries Roots has an intense first trailer. I swear there is not a spark of creativity in TV anymore.
To: rktman
Haley called it “faction”. But it was sold as non fiction. Anyone with any sense would know most of it was made up.
Supposedly he found his original tribe and they told him the story of the warrior Kunta Kinta. Later it came out that the villagers were told before hand that he was coming and they made up the story.

Hey, at least it made me ‘feel’ really, really guilty. Oh, wait. No it didn’t.

I expect to see a Kanye West musical number by the 3rd episode.

Haley lifted whole paragraphs from other books like, “The African”. I wonder how accurate Malcolm Ten is?
