Nothing like a remake to stir people up.

I think I will try to be cast as an extra in this one.

Now that’s weird. Didn’t it turn out to be BS all along? Maybe it’s not BS anymore and just plain of fertilizer. Stir it up? Yup!

Those slavery movies never seem to do very well at the box office, do they?

Wasn’t then entire story determined to be basically made up?

Actually in this version everyone stays in Africa.

All the characters die in the end from AIDS, starvation, revolution and each other.

Odd, but I can't find the photo of Obama in the native Kenyan costume. Remember, white with the crossed sash in front and dorky hat? It was identical to the garb worn by the Arab slavers in the original `Roots' who were rounding up Kunta. So I suppose this will have to do to demonstrate his 24/7 hypocrisy: Obama funny photo: Obama 43b94f50-1.jpg

Laurence Fishburne will portray Alex Haley in the "Roots" remake, based on Haley's novel "Roots: The Saga of an American Family"

So will they show Haley plagiarizing the book?

They should consider updating the title with Nutroots, promoting it with #OnlyBlackLivesMatter.

In theory, a very good story

Of course, we know that in fact, its going to be an unwatchable PC, leftist barf-fest.

Can I have a role if I decide to identify as Black?

Just in time for the election. Purely coincidental, I’m sure.
