Way back when Roots did not stir up racial animosity.

I bet the remake will and will be trying to.

I suspect NOI alumnus Haley wished it would have stirred up racial animosity, back then.

100 years ago, Birth of a Nation was released. It villified blacks and carpetbaggers while glorifying the KKK. It fed on and stoked grievances.

Lots of films today are going the same route.

Who knows how we’ll look back on films made today that play up racism.

Oh it did. I remember the stories.

Probably nothing like it would/will today, though.

I would not bet against you, even with odds.
