187 mil is chimp change in the grand scheme of reparations...too bad these folks seemed to be too ignorant to pass the test...
Christmas week BET or One-TV channel replayed both the original Roots week miniseries played in 1977 (slavery and just after Civil war) and the later Roots 2 miniseries (takes it up to Alex Halley' life) played in 1979 of which I watched both when they first were aired.
I watched just the second one this time.
There was lots of stories about trying to work and study hard to make it through school to just be treated equal(I mean you couldnt help feel sympathetic), they left out the part about sueing to make the tests easier so they can pass.
