Nope. I didn't even know it was on. What's it about--
As a matter of fact, ain't WE Roots, the Next Generation? |

LOL
Back in the late 70's the movie Roots was turned into a weekly drama. The network TVOne is playing reruns of it all week long.
It's o.k., kinda boring at times; I channel surf between that and "Martin".
Right now, they are on the chapter of Alex Haley's life; there is a very attractive chocolate man playing him, so right now they have my attention more than usual. |

We have Roots on DVD at home. Shit like that upsets me though, to see how my people were treated.
We have come a long way though.  |

"As a matter of fact, ain't WE Roots, the Next Generation?"
Only if you want to be. The so-called "Roots" saga never happened and Alex Haley made a killing from a plagiarized fabrication that greatly influenced a generation of people.
