A Cedar Rapids man was arrested Monday after he allegedly held a woman captive and forced her to watch Roots a 9-hour mini-series that chronicles author Alex Haleys family line from the capture and enslavement of his ancestor Kunta Kinte to the liberation of Kintes decedents. Noye told her to remain seated and watch the movie with him or he would kill her and spread her body parts across Interstate 380 on the way to Chicago.
Does Roots show where the GGGGrandfather is captured by the neighboring tribe and slowly roasted to death and then eaten?
(Ain’t a race thing, pre Christian Germanic tribes were almost as bad.)
Did they show the tribes that raided the other tribes and sold the captives as slaves, who sold them to the Arabs, who sold some of them to the whites?
Did they show the 10s of thousands of white slaves in northern Africa at the time? The white female and male sex slaves?
Nah - they just ginned up the rage.
Everybody’s ancestors had issues. Let’s get over it and move on - OR - we can form tribes again and kill each other for no good reason. Won’t that be fun.
AS for this POS. Shoot him.
Just like “The Man” to make Black History Month, the shortest month of the year. - Nat X
Plus - most of “Roots” was made up...
Yep!!!!
Alex Haley plagiarized the story.
And yet it is held up because even if the story isn’t true, it SHOULD be true. Another example of how someone’s “truth” trumps facts.
Over the course of living 65 years, I have met some disturbed people. One was a black man who made a huge sign about the black man who was killed during an arrest in New York, for selling untaxed cigarettes. He drove his truck up and down the town’s main street over and over shouting something I couldn’t understand. (Sounded really angry, though.) Another was a white guy who was walking around the parking lot at work copying down license plate numbers. I asked what he was doing after he copied mine. With a wild, incredulous look he breathlessly squeaked, “Do you have any idea how many times “j” and “a” show up in license plates!”
Fortunately, with two notable exceptions, I have been able to identify and avoid crazies like this.

mythmaking
You obviously don't know the premise behind "Showboat."
Just like “I, Rigoberta Menchu”. Which despite being proved as entirely faked, is still used in schools.
Show Off!
I should have read down thread. You beat my post. Great minds... :)
Let’s call it what it was.... He falsely imprisoned a white woman because of his racism.
I initially thought this was another Babylon Bee article.
