DAMN I thought this was going to have all the LIES that Haley put in Roots, instead it just has his trite drivel. There was no Kunta Kinte, he made it all up. Shocking but true. Disgusting human preying on his fellow black readers.

wow can't believe how many haters there are in the world - all you haters on alex haley and any other human being that has ever done anything significant in their lives must lead very sad miserable lives really!! ( here's a tip why don't you get off your lazy critical butts and go focus on your own purpose here in life and make the best go of it that you can instead of hating on others for doing just that!

I love these little literary vignettes. But there is a problem with this one. Alex Haley was a fraud and a plagiarist. These quotations, like virtually everything else he wrote is suspect.
