@djizzle96 hey man, listen don't let any ignorant assholes on here get to you. They are probably a bunch a kids thinking it's cute or lonely nerds who get their kicks on busting people.
Shut up all of you you racist people have problems you probably don't know anything about slavery don't say stuff like that if you say stuff like that you are retarded and need to pay some actual attention in social studies.
@boxhound72 lemme tell u somethin u dont know wat we had to go through CRACKER now i dont wanna talk to ur racist ass again u dont know nothin about black folks and i never get over it cause my antcestors were slaves my great great great grandparents were slaves thats why ill never get over it
@djizzle96 what do you mean "what we had to go through?" you did'nt have to go through shit. you were born free. and for your info black man sold black man to the white man and white man killed white man for the black mans freedom so shut your dumb ass up. you're race was'nt the only one who had to go through that slavery shit. and i'm not racist but i am prejudice against those who are racist against me and that is you. you're not black. you're a nigger.
So someone tell me..when all this was really going on a long time ago where was God? You sit in church and pray every Sunday and read your Bibles but where was God during all of this? If you believe in the Bible you believe God sat on high and watched stuff like this happen in real life and watched people tortured in the worse ways. Where was God? You pay your tithes and offerings every Sunday but where is he? Let me guess, someone God was mysteriously working to make his life better?
For the people living today to hate others over events that happened centuries ago is a really dumb. Everyone one of those slavers and those who suffered their oppression are long since dead. To try to justify hatred or right to compensation over something that didn't have anything to with you is the ultimate display of selfishness and ignorance. I'm part Scottish. You don't see me bitching to England about how they owe me for oppressing my "kinsman". The present is where we are, not the past.
If your black and commenting hateful things to whites, you're ignorant. If your white and making racial slurs, you're ignorant. When you see a black man being hung by his hands and beaten like this in 2012 then you can complain. Untill then, you have no right to be commenting bullshit.
This was an issue of skin color only because the slave owners made it so. It is not because any one skin color is more or less worthy of existence, or of dignity. History shows that cruelty has been perpetrated by people with many skin colors. Selfish cruelty is the true issue here, a lack of concern for the wellfare of our fellow human. We can't let hatred for the deeds of the individual blind us into committing acts of hatred ourselves. Learn from the past, we are all one race, all human.
@ethionice FUCK WHITES FUCK BLACKS FUCK JEWS FUCK ARABS FUCK EVERYONE WAIT A MINUTE WHAT DO THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON? WERE ALL HUMAN YOU MORONS! GOD MADE US TO MAKE THIS A BETTER PLACE THATS ALL WE HAVE TO DO.
Now, the white peoples are in the same situation as Kunta. Jewish and liberal enemies want to destroy our identity, history, culture and tradition. But we never will be "Tobies'', never!
Anybody could stink if they have bad hygiene's, and I mean anybody like blacks, whites, latinos, asians. I'm half black and Latina, all my black friends do not stink at all -_- and NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST! Most of them are sweet hearts, nice, and this was based 1000 years ago. Let go of the past already.
This wasn't based on 1000 years ago, this happened not that long ago. I agree that we as human beings should move on but we shouldn't forget and you see that's what people when they say let go, they really mean forget it happened. I guarantee you would feel different if someone would say we should forget about the Holocaust. You would be up in arms screaming NEVER!!! So why is this any different? Because you have friends of different races everything is fine?
@Unknown1Mentality My bad, this happened more than 1000 years ago. It's because all these ignorant comments are pissing me off how all black people smells and how all white people are racist. I have ancestors that were slaves, You made a really good point. Sorry, but fuck I just hate all these ignorant comments.
@Unknown1Mentality I don't think people should forget about it. I love history but to complain and use it as an excuse for bigotry against whites is inexcusable. Who are you going to come after? Everyone in those times have long passed away.
conclusion from this scene : kunta kinte was a really slow learner. Also i want to apologize on behalf of all the white people that have enslaved black people im from holland and we were kind of a big deal in the slavery. But i just know that one day africa's economy will rise and tables will be turned, but i wont be on this planet by then. think i'll press enter now, im just bored and yapping away. Good night yáll .
@ravager48 You act like slavery has personally effected you in some way when you don't even know a single person who was a slave. Slavery is the past and you need to forget it and move on.
for the people that say fuck white people, you do know that they had help from other blacks capturing our people right. i'm infuriated with the whites who made this possible too...but only when i remember and look back on the topic the only people i have no respect for are the whites that still hate us thats it. but white people overall i love because they're plenty of different colors and shades but really it's only one race...the human race
@kingtunice actually im black and i didnt say whites didnt have a part in it i just dont think it would have been so lucrative i highly dubt whites would have been willing to go into a jungle they had no idea about and risk there lifes like that but maybe your right maybe it still would have been just as huge i just think blacks also need to realize that it just wasnt white ppl
You know everoyne on here is quick to blame whites for slavery but lacks had a huge role in it too if blacks wernt so quick to sell there enemies to the white slave holders i doubt slavery would have been so huge in america black ppl need to stop blaming everyone else if you want things to change first change yourself
@heasleykatelyn yea white people say that when talking about slavery a lot i noticed. the thing you guy forget to realize is that even if the west africans had not traded them the europeans wouldve taken them by force like they did with the native americans. they were all nice at first and then later on they slaughtered them.
@MsSugardiamond People are still angry, I guess. It does not need to be the 1900s for people to be pissed off about slavery, btw. P.S. It doesn't matter if you are black. -_-
will there ever be a time when minorities will try to not be victims? It seems as though they wanted to stop the clock at 150 years ago. Do what you can today! Living in the past will never help you today.
@lincolnsarepublican Will there ever be a time when whites will try to accept the crimes and history of their ancestors without dismissing the suffering of other races? "They wanted to stop the clock at 150 years ago" - you may as well subtract over a hundred years off of that number, blacks were still being attacked and lynched in the streets for sport well into the 1970's.
Back in the day we had nothing but we had more pride and heart. Today we have so called rights and freedom but we lost our courage in the process of trying to be accepted and equal. I say that integration was the start of our downfall!!! Accepting there sick ways, letting them brainwash our children. What has accepting their ways and sham of values gotten us??? More lost than ever. Wake up niggas. Just because you can marry and mate with cave women that doesnt mean you will ever be accepted!!!
Always using another nigger to do there dirty work. Same tactics the pigs use 2day. Movies like this need to be drilled into our youths psyche. Alot of them have no clue of the struggle and are oblivious of the problems plaguing our people as a whole past and present. Just because we have a token Black President, a few sell out entertainers and demonic boule blacks who dont mind keeping there own people in bondage not willing to put them on to the games of the world.we will continue to loose
Well I am not black and certainly not a racist but what did you guys learn from this? Nowadays nobody forces you to take western names but you mostly do! Why? Kunta is a proud man, you can learn a lot from him!
@loud113jstbenme 40% of all slave owners were jews, only 2% of all white people owned slaves. Watch "shocking jewish role of slavery" by David Duke. This TV series is bogus.
@xxjamaalxx I guess you haven't, it's not like he HAD a choice, cause if da black slave DIDN'T beat Kunta, then, well... you kinda get the idea. I'm 30 years old, and i'll IGNORE ALL THE RACIST, IGNORANT, STUPID comments I've read thus far, but I must say that this should REALLY open up a lot of peoples eyes, people out here killing each other, raping, doing all types of violent things to each other. WE ALL as 'people' NEED TO LEARN to accept each other for who & what we are.
for all the the white,asain,black people and ect. that think this funny...im smh at you suppose this was you or one of your close relatives -_- and for the whites that find this as (the good old days) imagine instead all of the white people were slaves and we kidnapped and beat your new name into your head btw im Black, Rican, and Indian so 2 sides of my culture were tortured by the same people
I hope you realize the reasons black kids "run around and kill each other" is due to the white powers in place forcing us into large communities known as "ghettos", making us fend for ourselves in a system not much better than slavery, which led to things like drug dealing and organized crime, just so we could make it out. Black people are no more violent than anyone else, it is the society that led to our culture, do not blame us for the transgressions of others.
@cogley2 You must be high off that crystal meth. The white man got us in two wars right now killing 10,000s of people. Go back a lil bit Hitler and them stupid Germans tried to kill off an entire race. What the hell you mean not this day 'n age... White men are serial killers, child molesters, rapist, you shoot up schools, blow up buildings, etc. Whites are pure barbaric savages and try to pretend they are not.
just remember if not for slavery you wouldnt be here in america or even born if you was you be living in aids infested country so stop blaming you got more rights than whites all the git ma dat freebies
history of blacks=ghettos in every area black breed murders rapes robberys gangs crying racism claims to be african but knows nothing about africa blames everything on whites ect..............................................................
this only brings seperation, black and white are the same, good and bad in everyone. there where good white people who opposed slavery of the black race back then. i am white and have good black friends and i hate racism no matter where it comes from black white or any other "color" its ungodly and bad for the human race.
@kingb0626 White people have an over-abundance of ignorance. When you study the history of the white man you study: Spanish War, British War, Civil War, War of 1812, American Rev. War, World War I II, Vietnam, etc., etc. All whites know is violence, thievery, rape, mayhem. They bring destruction to everything they touch. You people have robbed and stolen from every society you entered and ignorant enough to put your name on it. This world has suffered greatly from the presence of the white FOOL!
@LegendofBigB LMFAO, do you see black people today?! they do the same exact thing you just said... you never see white people doing that in todays day n age
Maybe if more of our young black American could and would see this, they would stop killing and hating each other. Too many senseless murders of black on black crime.
Torture made Kunta tell a lie about who he was.Don't you know that tortuing people at Guantanamo and Ghetmo made them tell lies on Osama Binladin.Of course they did,torture is MF And white folk will belieave nothing more than the lies they have made up.
When i look at the comments it Seems like white people AND black people should be ashamed of themselves. Obviously neither group get the lesson from roots. Makes me ashamed to be an american. Please read a book people
@yourwhitemaster if niggers stink so bad why are you on our dicks, always commenting and worrying about us. Just be honest YT. You pigs are jealous of the true original people. We have and will stand the test of time. All of your tricks and evil gimmicks are back firing as we speak The great culling of the herds is at hand so you are speaking out of fear. I know this. Repent of you and your peoples evil ways redneck!!! Shouldnt you be reading Mein Kampf for the 99th time you inbreed degenerate.
@yourwhitemaster that was the most rasist thing u couldve said and it was ignorant as hell then u think its cool to compare black people to shit thats not right what if i made fun of your race that and then your name is yourwhitemaster wtf is wrong with you
Blame the white people but forget the africans that sold them and forget the africans that still slave and torture a nation force children to rape and kill, no race has clean hands and ignorance come in every size and color
ATTENTION: To ALL black people that read this. Buy the documentary dvd (Hidden Colors). Finally this white propoganda is exposed to the world. This dvd is a must have in the black home. Tell a friend, tell everybody you know. Now is the time to come into a full understanding of the forces against the black people of the world. (Hidden Colors) The cat is out the bag.....
@JOHNTHEMONSTERR Take a good look at your pale, colorless, dead looking white people. Your people got to be insane to know you are a worthless bunch, but you feel the need to criticize other races. The suns makes you sterile, thats why the white population is going extinct. The suns also robs you of Vitamin D, thats why white people bones break so easily. You people also have calcified pineal glands in your brains that why you nuts have a warped way of thinking. Whites literally are mutants.
@LegendofBigB I am a white and I was always against the whites which did this. If I was alive on that time I would stand up for them for my life and now I read what you have written it made me so upset.
@JOHNTHEMONSTERR Your white daddy aint making a damn thang. White privilege helped you whites (Headright program / Homestead Act). These two programs basically gave you idiots the land and wealth you have today. The white man has never worked hard for a thing he GOT. With all these riches and wealth you can't buy MELANIN. Thats why, the KKK, and other foolish organizations hate blacks, cause deep down yall want to look like us. Sun tanning just aint getting it done instead the sun is your enemy
The black guy is simply being used as an instrument of colonialism. He is already a slave with the name "James" so he is there to carry out the punishment and to demonstrate the complete dominance of the white land owners. This kind of use of people of one race to oppress others of their own kind is a recurring theme through history.
loved this show back in the day I was just a kid and remember feeling so sad cause what these poor people went through.....shame on every white man who played a role in slavery.....I pray there's a hell
My husband is from The Gambia he's from the same tribe as Kunta Kente'. They're very strong and they have a love of God like you wouldn't believe. They had to stop playing this movie in The Gambia cause all the Mandingo's started beating up white people after watching this movie. No lie!!
Rev 13:9-10 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
@thebabydeno You would hold me accountable for something I didn't do? My earliest ancestors came to the U.S. during the Cold War, they never owned slaves. Your fury is misplaced, but I agree that slavery is one of the most twisted practices in human history!
@OhGeeKevlar Don't be, the actions of a few evil men do not define those who happen to share their pigmentation. Though speaking of which I would've more than happy for someone to skin that man alive for what he did to Kunta!
@OhGeeKevlar It's fictional. It's not real. It's a dramatization. You are ignorant for making such an inane comment. Go hang out at children's cancer ward if you want to see toughness and heart.
@sambomuaythaijack roots is based on factual narratives and historical accounts. The third episode is based on a book titled "Bullwhip Days: The Slaves Remember: An Oral History". Writers and Journalist were commissioned by the WPA Federal Writers Project to conduct interviews with some of the thousands of former slaves that were still alive. TV and movies alter things to make a solid production. Anyone who's really interested can find every part of this movie in the library, non-fiction.
@oldstock1607 yeah but i feel no shame regardless because it wasn't me doing it. i have respect for all races. but that doesn't excuse whites history of being completely ignorant.
@thebabydeno Sure lmao. My dad makes more money than any one of you're relatives combined. I probably will too once I graduate. You're mom likes my dad's dick because he makes money than your father. That is if you know him =) Happy late MLK day btw! Good to see all he sacrificed just led you you being just as stupid as you would be if you still were a slave. =)
@powermetal6669 just think if that were you getting whipped , JUST THINK,im sick and tired of (some) white people hating on everyone who ISN'T white, this isnt just your (white) world, theres other races in the world too so stop being so selfish and ignorant and just shut the fuck up
Ignore the racist comments. enjoy the movie. don't get caught up and infuriated by others ignorance. the same people who choose ignorance are the same ones who suffer from over optimism of themselves and underestimation of others (like Nazi's and Confederates). These groups misrepresented an entire race with their supremacist ideas and our society is still in recovery. It's gonna take time 'cause blood lines run deep for the good and the wicked.
@thebabydeno not here in the U.S. but in some other countries this is still happening as we speak. some countries have no consideration for human rights and some have rights that only apply to the preferred race, ethnicity or religion. Don't get angry, get educated, that's always been the biggest threat and the most powerful weapon against supremacist, imperialist and fascist.
some of the stories used in roots are from factual narratives told by survivors of the slavery era who were living through the great depression. A book titled "Bullwhip Days: The Slaves Remember: An Oral History". Writers and Journalist were commissioned by the WPA Federal Writers Project to conduct interviews with some of the thousands of former slaves that were still alive. All the stories are based on real accounts. TV and movies sometimes need to alter things to make a solid production.
@Commonsense11111 I got another name for you Common-Senseless. Even if Roots wasn't 100% factual, you can't dispute that whites owned slaves. You people are so idiotic to believe blonde hair and blue eyes is superior (Look it up, blue eyed people are more likely to have eye and hearing problems and the can't handle much sunlight). I thought I would tell you that since it is said black people don't like to read. You must dont know what being white really mean (genetic deformalty) or albino
@utar88utar The late former govenor of Alabama George Wallace Jr., was right when he said.... Poor whites do not care about their living conditions as long as poor blacks had it the same as the poor whites did.

Just because we have a token Black President, a few sell out entertainers and demonic boule blacks who dont mind keeping there own people in bondage not willing to put them on to the games of the world.we will continue to loose

I hope you realize the reasons black kids "run around and kill each other" is due to the white powers in place forcing us into large communities known as "ghettos", making us fend for ourselves in a system not much better than slavery, which led to things like drug dealing and organized crime, just so we could make it out. Black people are no more violent than anyone else, it is the society that led to our culture, do not blame us for the transgressions of others.

@xxjamaalxx
The black guy is simply being used as an instrument of colonialism. He is already a slave with the name "James" so he is there to carry out the punishment and to demonstrate the complete dominance of the white land owners. This kind of use of people of one race to oppress others of their own kind is a recurring theme through history.
