Nobody was calling themselves African-American until the MSM broadcast ROOTS

Ya, and I heard Alex Haley attempted suicide, when he discovered he was adopted

That's a joke, meant to be taken as humor only

Alex Haley wrote a wonderful book.

Hollywood turned it into a very emotional movie.

The problem I have is that from that moment on, the movie was adopted as actual history. Oprah and Whoopi were really slaves who got freed and became rich TV and movie stars.

One side note. Kunta Kinte has kinda disappeared.
