Does he know “Roots” is fiction? Haley made it all up not to mention he plagiarized the first part from a book named “The African” which is also fiction.

That photo looks like a college kid today being indoctrinated “COMMUNISM IS UTOPIA! BERNIE IS THE MESSIAH!” How else to explain why so many millennials today support that jackass?

Did you know Kunte Kinte had a sister who was a prostitute?

Her name was Renta Kunte.

Years ago I actually talked with Alex Haley at a conference.
He seemed like a really nice guy. What the race hustlers miss about Roots is that it is a story of overcoming tragedy. It isn’t just how far former slaves have come but how far the US has come.

Imagine if it were a black woman and she was forced to watch ‘Gone With the Wind’ and ‘Song of the South’.

Nah. He should be strapped to a chair and forced to listen to Rush everyday for a year. It might educate him. Of course if you want to torture him, strap him to a chair, and make the guy watch “The View.”

A forced watching of ‘Heaven’s Gate’ should be a capital offense. I went to see because it was playing at the real big screen theater, that and the huge amount of money spent on props, costumes and settings made that dead whale of a film at least pallatible.
