I recently bought the complete collection on DVD, not sure when I'll have the time/energy to watch it all but it's a great mini-series.

The fact that blacks and whites can get along so well these days is amazing. Just 60 years ago them cacs had they foots on our necks. Slavery was far worse than what i'm watching on roots and this shyt was unbearable. Forced labor,sharecropping, separation of family,rape,whippings and hangings......and they wonder why blacks are so fukked up today.

Was watching it at the barbershop on Saturday, seemed like a good show

 

[TheNig]

Watched it a few yeas ago. Felt like I needed to watch it to learn something. All it did was make me mad at white folks for a couple of days.

 

[Objection]

We were watching this for lunch at work. White people came into the kitchen like and quickly walked out

Don't forgot what brought us here and who brought us here.

the scene that always stuck to me as a kid is when this girl about 14, gets taken by her mother to the foreman or was it massa house and he ripped off her top right in front of her mom and took her into his house, and kunta kinte stands outside the house and all you hear is her screaming as shes getting raped

i cant fathom growing up in those days knowing your mom or sister or daughter could be taken by massa and raped and you could do nothing, ilike i said before white folks are so lucky that we arent going into their houses and dragging them out and taking out judgment on them for the sins they committed
