I love how at 2:18 he beats his face with that drum. Stupid white people

[bamfan151]

such a watered down film. educationally, its great that it informed many non black families about what happened back in the 70s, but knowing how waterered down this film is bugs me a tad bit. watch "la amistad" for a more accurate reflection of the middle passage

DAMN THE WHITE SCUM!!

Roots was copied largely from a novel called The African. a work of fiction written by a white man, Hal Courlander. Mr. Haley copied language, thoughts, attitudes, incidents, situations, plot and character. Courlander and Haley settled the case with a financial settlement and a statement that "Alex Haley acknowledges and regrets that various materials from The African by Harold Courlander found their way into his book, Roots. The sad part is they have shown this in schools as truth.
