The Inconvenient Truth - Part 2: Roots was a Fraud.

Roots: The Saga of an American Family, by Alex Haley was a fraud, a lie, a hoax.

You will notice in many of the comments that people just can't seem to live with the facts presented in this video. The usual argument comes from who else but the Afrocentrist.

First, they argue that this is all a lie, when it is public record and it simply takes a bit of simple investigation into the matter. That is if you WANT to know this truth. It seems the black racists are more comfortable with things remaining just how they are: The world believing this to be a 100% true story when in fact it is not even partially true.

They also just refuse to acknowledge that black Africans willingly and knowingly sold their OWN PEOPLE into slavery for profit, the entire duration of the slave trade. Again, this just doesn't fit into their much needed "white devil" philosophy that they use to justify their own racism. Facts are facts, and the lie about Roots and the truth about the involvement of blacks selling and profiting in the slave trade is now out there for the world to see. And you better believe they hate me for it :)
