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.
