ive visited that site - its just unbelivable how people could hate others for no aparent reason, just unbelivable, after going through the white suprimatist site i was simply - dazed, disturbed upset and confused - i simply wondered; what the heck have we done to them to deserve such hatred.  ?

Some people are that way. Don't descend to their level by arguing with them.

LOL Molluma. Yea, don't go to the website it's just ignorant rubbish (not even original). I've never watched Roots but always wonder if I should.

Chinani -
Ive watched roots- its depressing , embarassing and anoying - a pictoral glimpse of dehumanisation of the 16 th AND 17TH CENTURY TRADE IN HUMAN CARGO
Reading the book "ROOTS" IS THE ULTIMATE
Alex haley told a story of love , of evil of exploitation , and the strenght of the human spirit.Its a book i feel every blk person should read - it really helps you understand what slavery was like .Its a very educative book. It moved me to tears many times.

I haven't watched the film, but books convey certain things in ways movies cannot replicate. I read the book in 2001 and Roots was touching, especially when you read how Alex Haley did his research -- lying on his back in on of those slave galleys and imagining whatt Kunta Kinte must have felt so many years ago. . .
How he eventually met his Madinka people and after listening to the Griot's story, the warm welcome he was given. I don't want to give away the plot, but Chinani, that's one book you've got to have on your bookshelf.
Nubian, I'm sure the talk about 'fotos' might have appealed to you. . . hey it's just a joke!
