Why do degenerate gamblers blame their cards and alcoholics the bottle? Because it's easier than admitting that they themselves are inherently flawed.
Because it was playing on like three channels at once.

they remade roots? what was wrong with the original series

Yeah. Levar Burton was talking about it on Morning Edition. It was so white people in the 70s would tune in.
He said that was part of why he wanted to remake it, so he could take all of the guilt stuff out and just tell the story.

did any of you faggots actually watch the show? it was well executed and is already way better than the original. Acting is great, shot beautifully actually, can't wait to see the rest.
calling something bad for the sake of being racist isn't fun nor cool to do, it's just very immature and you probably have a low IQ.

>"if you don't like what I do you're obviously dumb"
You can fuck right off with that superiority bullshit. You know why people are tired of this white guilt, evil slavery crap? Because its been played out too many god damn times. The only reason it was remade and re-released now is because it is exploiting the current upswing in racial tensions.
At its very core, it is a product. A product is supposed to make money. People find it annoying and in poor taste because it's another drop in the bucket of annoying products designed to guilt-trip people for shit they had no involvement in. It tries to push the actions of slave-owners and their mistreatment of blacks onto all white people. Which is incredibly illogical considering white people were the fucking ones that gave blacks their freedom in the first place. Not to mention it is trying to push that blame onto white people 200 fucking years after the end of slavery.
It is simply exploitative drivel which only seeks to further the divide between whites and blacks.

Unless he removed the blatant historical revisionism he failed.
Now did they show King Ghezo selling slaves to Jews or not?
>>70334257
You see, I don't understand this mentality. Who the fuck is telling you to be guilty? Did you own a slave? No? Then you didn't do anything and this show isn't about you. It might be about your great great great great grandparents but it isn't about you. Stop blaming your "white guilt" on the media. Stop having "white guilt". Nobody is blaming you for anything you egotistical fuck. The world doesn't revolve around you. Anyone who doesn't understand this is retarded
NOBODY IS TELLING YOU TO BE GUILTY. IT'S JUST BEING ACKNOWLEDGED THAT SLAVERY (BELIEVE IT OR NOT) WAS A THING NOT TOO LONG AGO.
we wuz niggas and shit
>>70334558
>You see, I don't understand this mentality. Who the fuck is telling you to be guilty?
liberals
>>70333521
Don't mind the false-flagging shills, they just need to make sure any objection to the white guilt agenda is associated with insane racist extremism.
/pol/ is like 60-70% full of this shit nowadays.
See pic related. You'd be amazed at how much this goes on. Professional victims need an oppressor to point to, and if one doesn't exist they will create one.
>>70334257
My grandparents were German immigrants, we never owned slaves in my family, we have nothing to feel guilty about
>>70334558
WOW. So much wrong in one post.
>>70334530
They did, actually. The guy who captures Kunta is a black guy with a grudge against his family. But, you know, historical revisionism and all that.
>>70334670
Yeah, just the whole suburb/GI Bill/drug war thing.

>>70334558

1) It's been more than 100 years, how long until it's no longer "not too long"?
2) There are more slaves in Africa today than there ever were in the United States.

Yea, but I'm not Muslim or West African. So I have nothing to feel bad about when it comes to slavery.

Are they slaves? Have they been saves? No, then it isn't about them either so what are they crying about?
>>70332873
But why would someone like me, who never owned slaves, who comes from a family that wasn't even in the fucking US until the 1940s, need to feel like this has to speak to me on some shamey white person level? Why is that expected of me? Me and mine literally had NOTHING TO FUCKING DO with slavery. SO why are BLM and BLM cucks always trying to shovel this shit down my throat every other decade? I really don't care and never will. Also it's bad enough when that one loser you know bitches and moans for years about how his life isn't fair, and here we have an entire bunch of losers crying for fucking centuries about shit that happened centuries ago. We get it: you're too stupid to rise above it. Not my fucking problem.

yeah but they're illegal and you don't have entire governments crying about how slavery is an integral part of their culture and any attempts to curtail slavery is an affront to African pride
I really don't get this point at all. People have a problem with slavery in the US because it was so entrenched and normal to consider all niggers property, the scale was a secondary problem.
You might as well say "well there's more murders in Mexico today than Aztec sacrifices in 1500 so clearly ripping the hearts of people out to satisfy Tezcatlipoca's infinite blood-thirst wasn't that bad and we should stop depicting ritual human sacrifice as a negative in media"

This is why these threads are always so shit. /pol/tards come in, see that it's a show about niggers, and instantly make up their minds about what it is and what agenda it's promoting without actually having watched any of it.
The "Dear White People" threads were the worst because a huge part of the movie attacks the whole idea of being an uppity nigger blaming everything on whitey, but /pol/ just looked at the title and and the poster and concluded it was just concentrated white guilt

How the fuck are they doing that. Roots is one of the most popular tv shows of time. It's not a jewish agenda that's it's being remade for a modern audience, it just makes sense.
New ghost busters is a jewish agenda though can't lie about that.
>>70335115
My use of the point is that American slavery is viewed as a mountain and not as a pile of dirt like it should be.
Caribbean and Brazilian slaves died in millions.
The Sahara slave trade trekked Negroes across the desert barefoot and bleeding from castrations.
The Barbary slave trade threw Slaves overboard and beat babies when they got stopped by British vessels trying to stop it.
But THE TAMEST OF ALL THE BLACK SLAVE TRADES, that is the one that the media ever cares to make movies about. The same one that hired Irish immigrants for dangerous work because the livestock might get hurt.
