@LeotheOrangeCat Slavery was not good for the slaves, but that's what Africans did, was capture other Africans and sell them to European slave traders that then sold them to Democrats in the U.S.. It wasn't until the Republican party was founded in 1854 as an anti-slavery party, that there was any resistance to what the pro-slavery Democrat party was doing to black Americans. The Republican party has been fighting to free black Americans from their Democrat slave masters ever since.
@LeotheOrangeCat It sounds like you don't know very much about Alex Haley or his "Roots" story, so I'll elucidate. Haley claimed the "Roots" story was a biography of his paternal ancestry, which he claimed he could trace all the way back to a specific village in Africa. Turns out Haley was a liar and a thief- his actual paternal ancestry was Scottish, and Haley STOLE the entire story from a 100% fictional book written in 1967 by someone else. Haley got his ass sued off for it, and went to his grave a disgraced fraudster. You've obviously never watched an episode of Maury when he did DNA testing.

You would have did what you had to do. Our people had to take an L for over 246 years. Then another L for another 100 years after that. It sucks but some how we survived.
Slavery wasn’t about color. It was a business. The treatment was to maintain control. We won though. We overcame. Never forget our ancestors. But don’t dishonor them either. Thinking that someone owes you something for what they went thru is lazy. Get your own. Be better.

We made the beds, cooked the meals, grew the crops, invented so many things for the world, did the cleaning, did their hair and the slave owners children loved us. So as a black American l am proud of our heritage! We invented the shoe, the stop light, the printing press, the potato chip, peanut butter, etc etc!

Tjaty AHATI History of Police as Slave Catchers : How the U.S. Got Its Police Force: Source : TIME Magazine www.google.com/amp/amp.timeinc.net/time/4779112/police-history-origins Excerpt: “In the South, however, the economics that drove the creation of police forces were centered not on the protection of shipping interests but on the preservation of the slavery system. Some of the primary policing institutions there were the slave patrols tasked with chasing down runaways and preventing slave revolts, Potter says; the first formal slave patrol had been created in the Carolina colonies in 1704. During the Civil War, the military became the primary form of law enforcement in the South, but during Reconstruction, many local sheriffs functioned in a way analogous to the earlier slave patrols, enforcing segregation and the disenfranchisement of freed slaves.” A Brief History of Slavery and the Origins of American Policing: Source : EKU Police Studies Online plsonline.eku.edu/insidelook/brief-history-slavery-and-origins-american-policing Excerpt : “Policing was not the only social institution enmeshed in slavery. Slavery was fully institutionalized in the American economic and legal order with laws being enacted at both the state and national divisions of government. Virginia, for example, enacted more than 130 slave statutes between 1689 and 1865. Slavery and the abuse of people of color, however, was not merely a southern affair as many have been taught to believe. Connecticut, New York and other colonies enacted laws to criminalize and control slaves. Congress also passed fugitive Slave Laws, laws allowing the detention and return of escaped slaves, in 1793 and 1850. As Turner, Giacopassi and Vandiver (2006:186) remark, “the literature clearly establishes that a legally sanctioned law enforcement system existed in America before the Civil War for the express purpose of controlling the slave population and protecting the interests of slave owners. The similarities between the slave patrols and modern American policing are too salient to dismiss or ignore. Hence, the slave patrol should be considered a forerunner of modern American law enforcement.” Policing and Oppression Have a Long History The debate on racism and law enforcement follows a clear line back to the antebellum South. By Stephen L. Carter October 29, 2015, 6:19 PM EDT Source : Bloomberg.com www.google.com/amp/s/www.bloomberg.com/amp/view/articles/2015-10-29/policing-and-oppression-have-a-long-history Except : “The slave patrols, by contrast, did what the name suggests -- they patrolled. Although their organization varied from place to place, in most of the South the members of the patrol were recruited from, and had special responsibility for, a particular small geographic area known as a "beat" - thus the origin of our contemporary term. 1 The slave patrols, the dreaded "paterollers," are remembered best for tracking down runaways and ferreting out potential uprisings, but many scholars think they had a more important day-to-day role. Those held in bondage in the South were seen as the greatest potential source of crime, including theft, assault, and sabotage of agricultural equipment. There was a steady traffic in pilferage, valuables being sold to free black railroad workers who would carry them North and resell them. By the reckoning of the slavocracy, the anti-crime patrols were being sent exactly where they were needed. Small surprise, then, that free white citizens were required to join the patrols if called. 2 Given recent events, it's a poignant historical irony that in the 1830s, the slave patrol of Charleston, South Carolina, had more members than any city police force in the North. Despite legal codes purporting to control them, the patrollers were feared and reviled for their cruelty. A freedman named Lewis Garrard Clarke wrote that the patrols were "the tooth and tongue of serpents … the fool's cap of baboons ... the scum of stagnant pools ... the meanest, and lowest, and worst of all creation." And yet, for all their horrors, the slave patrols provided the template for the policing in its contemporary sense. Richmond, Virginia, created a full-time police force only after Gabriel Prosser led a slave uprising in 1800. Other cities followed suit. Yet three decades later, newspapers in Charleston complained that the police were too few to control the restive black population, and demanded an increase in the number of ... patrollers.”

Always watching this is so heartbreaking for me... I was just called the n word just last week, and a customer rejected the canadian $10 bill because there was a black woman on it...racism will forever be but We will stay stronger if we continue to be a union and have eachothers back. I love my brothers and sisters and am here to make our ancestors proud.💜💜💜
Fatoumata Camara Message 1 of 3 I KNEW IT! As soon as I saw "n-word", I was wondering "Is she from Canada or something?". I PROMISE you that I can live out my life in the USA and never be called the "n-word" a single, solitary time. Not once! If I was to go back to Canada for an extended period of time, on the other hand, it would start happening again. Canadians like to think they are morally superior to Americans. It's the only card they have against Americans. The problem is - it's utterly FALSE! They play that "moral superiority" bull$#%@ due to their inferiority complex!
Fatoumata Camara Message 2 of 3 I believe you about that $10 bill. I've heard a lot of Canadians are protesting by not accepting it since there's a black woman on it. That's their idea of moral superiority??? Any way, bottom line is this. I have spent MANY, MANY years in BOTH the USA (South) and Canada. And I can tell you by personal experience that Canada is FAR more racist than the USA! MUCH more racist. That's the bottom line! There's no comparison!
Fatoumata Camara Message 3 of 3 I know it's hard to believe due to Canadian propaganda. There's soooo much I can tell you about Canadian propaganda! None-the-less, I am speaking from personal experience. The sick thing is that I, myself, used to think that the USA was more racist until the truth was revealed over-and-over again. That's what living MANY years in both countries will do to you. It will ultimately reveal the truth regardless of all the Canadian propaganda fed me while growing up!

It’s possible different Griots told similar version of the same story, that’s how oral traditions work. Alex Haley was connecting his lineage back the the great Kunta Kinte son of Omoro and Binta Kinte, Grandson of the Great Kairaba Kunta Kinte, for whom I was named after. The existence of these key figures have been passed down through many generations of oral traditions, or as in the case of Omar Ibn Said physical documents written in his own language of Fulani Arabic. That book makes this AFRICAN american story no less factual. He probably thought he was going to be the first to capitalized on the story, until he heard Kunta still had living descendants who weren’t just gonna sit back and let him profit off their Ancestor’s story.

In the Roots mini-series Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs was getting a whipping, while others listened and cried. In the mini-series "The Jacksons: An American Dream", he was the one doing the whipping (he played Joe Jackson, so what a surprise), while others listened and cried.
Except there's still a difference between the two. In the mini-series Hilton-Jacobs was not just getting a whipping, he was getting severely tortured. In The Jackson's movie, he was whipping his kid but it was considered to be only a spanking.

Let’s stop calling African slaves as “survivors.” Violence is not something one should be proud of having survived. Violence of slavery is a badge of shame transfigured into sugarcoated terminologies of policing and “securing society.” The rugged slave hunter was simply redressed into the uniformed urban police and the convenient narrative became conscripted as such: If Blacks had to be patrolled as slaves, then they should be equally patrolled while free. Once, we come to grip with this narrative we might begin to interrogate Black history not one trapped into terms such as “survivor,” but one that situates it as narrative of Resistance. Survivors tell stories, but these stories are not like the other romanticized heroes of Twain and Steinbeck (with due respect). These stories function as a map of consciousness through which we can locate True resistance. Of course, one easy way to come to the same point made here is to simply read the American (and European) history as a Reaction to the actions of rebellion and resistance. In that respect, they may be called survivors-but as those who tell us the truth of that history.
Back when this was aired in the 70’s…..I could not watch it….because….I kept hearing from other people… that it was so brutally cruel to these Black people……later in the 80’s when V.H.S.

You would have did what you had to do. Our people had to take an L for over 246 years. Then another L for another 100 years after that. It sucks but some how we survived.
Millions in the sea ..I would've Glady joined them rather then endure being enslaved
How can people treat people like this because of their colour it’s insane
Slavery wasn’t about color. It was a business. The treatment was to maintain control. We won though. We overcame. Never forget our ancestors. But don’t dishonor them either. Thinking that someone owes you something for what they went thru is lazy. Get your own. Be better.
Black people were mostly slaves because it was easier to identify them as a slave that way, it was never about the color of their skin

I know a lot of the younger people are not old enough to remember when this was first on TV but it was epic, everyone was a big star except LeVar Burton and this made him famous. Ratings for the first night of the miniseries were higher than a lot of the Super Bowls, it really needs to be shown again for everyone who missed it the first time.
My mom rented it from the library in the 80s and we watched it
@CaliforniaCheez It's nonfiction Alex Haley was a fraud who stole the original truth story of Kunta Kinta family history.
@CaliforniaCheez I am in agreement with you it's others that are saying Kunta Kinta family history is fiction, you & I are on the same page. The only problem with the story line that was written by Alex Haley was we're not Africans were the original Hebrew Israelites God's choosen ppl, they used Alex Haley script to brainwash us into believing that were Africans & we're not. That's a study for another. Thanks for your response good to have a dialogue where 2 can meet in the middle.
It put LuVar on the map. All star cast throughout the entire miniseries.
@@paulacross3086 Alex Hailey did steal some of the work from a book called "The African" he settled out of court for around $750,000 (not exactly the correct dollar figure but close)
The slave that got hit with the rifle around 2:47 is Grand Bush. He played Agent Johnson (the black Agent) in “Die Hard”.

Despicable actions by despicable human beingd
Roots is a story that had to be told about slavery. And when you think about how black Americans have made a mark on this world. It's not hard to watch at all. We made the beds, cooked the meals, grew the crops, invented so many things for the world, did the cleaning, did their hair and the slave owners children loved us. So as a black American l am proud of our heritage! We invented the shoe, the stop light, the printing press, the potato chip, peanut butter, etc etc!
Lol. "Roots" was 100% fictional, and Alex Haley got sued for stealing the story from someone else's 100% fictional book. Alex Haley's paternal ancestry is Scottish, not African.
Yeah but let them tell it a white person did it 😮
True!

Kunta was too nervous with the patrol guys. I couldn't blame him. And he and Kizzy couldn't offer anything to the guy who tried to get help.
The runaway would have been a criminal in those days
@@ancupola1994, it was such a dangerous time for many. Kunta and Kizzy didn't like leaving those alleged runaways who wanted help, but there was nothing that they could do.

History of Police as Slave Catchers :
How the U.S. Got Its Police Force:
Source : TIME Magazine
www.google.com/amp/amp.timeinc.net/time/4779112/police-history-origins
Excerpt:
“In the South, however, the economics that drove the creation of police forces were centered not on the protection of shipping interests but on the preservation of the slavery system. Some of the primary policing institutions there were the slave patrols tasked with chasing down runaways and preventing slave revolts, Potter says; the first formal slave patrol had been created in the Carolina colonies in 1704. During the Civil War, the military became the primary form of law enforcement in the South, but during Reconstruction, many local sheriffs functioned in a way analogous to the earlier slave patrols, enforcing segregation and the disenfranchisement of freed slaves.”
A Brief History of Slavery and the Origins of American Policing:
Source : EKU Police Studies Online
plsonline.eku.edu/insidelook/brief-history-slavery-and-origins-american-policing
Excerpt :
“Policing was not the only social institution enmeshed in slavery. Slavery was fully institutionalized in the American economic and legal order with laws being enacted at both the state and national divisions of government. Virginia, for example, enacted more than 130 slave statutes between 1689 and 1865. Slavery and the abuse of people of color, however, was not merely a southern affair as many have been taught to believe. Connecticut, New York and other colonies enacted laws to criminalize and control slaves. Congress also passed fugitive Slave Laws, laws allowing the detention and return of escaped slaves, in 1793 and 1850. As Turner, Giacopassi and Vandiver (2006:186) remark, “the literature clearly establishes that a legally sanctioned law enforcement system existed in America before the Civil War for the express purpose of controlling the slave population and protecting the interests of slave owners. The similarities between the slave patrols and modern American policing are too salient to dismiss or ignore. Hence, the slave patrol should be considered a forerunner of modern American law enforcement.”
Policing and Oppression Have a Long History
The debate on racism and law enforcement follows a clear line back to the antebellum South.

Except :
“The slave patrols, by contrast, did what the name suggests -- they patrolled. Although their organization varied from place to place, in most of the South the members of the patrol were recruited from, and had special responsibility for, a particular small geographic area known as a "beat" - thus the origin of our contemporary term.
1
The slave patrols, the dreaded "paterollers," are remembered best for tracking down runaways and ferreting out potential uprisings, but many scholars think they had a more important day-to-day role. Those held in bondage in the South were seen as the greatest potential source of crime, including theft, assault, and sabotage of agricultural equipment. There was a steady traffic in pilferage, valuables being sold to free black railroad workers who would carry them North and resell them. By the reckoning of the slavocracy, the anti-crime patrols were being sent exactly where they were needed. Small surprise, then, that free white citizens were required to join the patrols if called.
2 Given recent events, it's a poignant historical irony that in the 1830s, the slave patrol of Charleston, South Carolina, had more members than any city police force in the North.
Despite legal codes purporting to control them, the patrollers were feared and reviled for their cruelty. A freedman named Lewis Garrard Clarke wrote that the patrols were "the tooth and tongue of serpents … the fool's cap of baboons ... the scum of stagnant pools ... the meanest, and lowest, and worst of all creation."
And yet, for all their horrors, the slave patrols provided the template for the policing in its contemporary sense. Richmond, Virginia, created a full-time police force only after Gabriel Prosser led a slave uprising in 1800. Other cities followed suit. Yet three decades later, newspapers in Charleston complained that the police were too few to control the restive black population, and demanded an increase in the number of ... patrollers.”

Always watching this is so heartbreaking for me... I was just called the n word just last week, and a customer rejected the canadian $10 bill because there was a black woman on it...racism will forever be but We will stay stronger if we continue to be a union and have eachothers back. I love my brothers and sisters and am here to make our ancestors proud.💜💜💜
Where was the Canadian $10 bill rejected?
Fatoumata Camara Message 1 of 3 I KNEW IT! As soon as I saw "n-word", I was wondering "Is she from Canada or something?". I PROMISE you that I can live out my life in the USA and never be called the "n-word" a single, solitary time. Not once! If I was to go back to Canada for an extended period of time, on the other hand, it would start happening again. Canadians like to think they are morally superior to Americans. It's the only card they have against Americans. The problem is - it's utterly FALSE! They play that "moral superiority" bull$#%@ due to their inferiority complex!
Fatoumata Camara Message 2 of 3 I believe you about that $10 bill. I've heard a lot of Canadians are protesting by not accepting it since there's a black woman on it. That's their idea of moral superiority??? Any way, bottom line is this. I have spent MANY, MANY years in BOTH the USA (South) and Canada. And I can tell you by personal experience that Canada is FAR more racist than the USA! MUCH more racist. That's the bottom line! There's no comparison!
Fatoumata Camara Message 3 of 3 I know it's hard to believe due to Canadian propaganda. There's soooo much I can tell you about Canadian propaganda! None-the-less, I am speaking from personal experience. The sick thing is that I, myself, used to think that the USA was more racist until the truth was revealed over-and-over again. That's what living MANY years in both countries will do to you. It will ultimately reveal the truth regardless of all the Canadian propaganda fed me while growing up!
@@scholarlyanalyst7700 I am a Canadian and I've experienced racism as an African Canadian but honestly I'd expect that in any country in this world cause that's what blacks are observed as ..to be looked down at even till this day. I never mentioned that Canada was more racist than America I'm not defending Canada on that..racism is literally everywhere and we blacks just have to accept that and stay strong and keep our pride
I just don’t get how people could and can be so cruel …. I wish I could go back all those years and erase that disgusting mentality. How do you not treat any and all humans with love and care - just how ?! …… people who treated people like that it’s like they were hollow and evil.
They were Democrats. If you want to "erase" them, then stop blindly voting for the very same Democrat party that founded the KKK.
Humans are cruel animals REGARDLESS of color, but I will admit my lighter skinned brothers have left more carnage in their travels.

Kizzy should have just not written that pass, even if it meant he could be free
George Mendez you are right
If you love some thing set it free. If, it's bold enough to leave so be it. Kizzy gave him a chance to go his own way. Often, it cost the one letting go the most. She suffered n her parent.
It will always be worth it, even if he's caught and beaten a hundred times. He wasn't born to a slave and felt it better to die.

He was also in, "Moesha".
He was also "Cochise" in Cooley High (1975).

I feel Angry💀....when the black boy was captured and whipped!....want to go in in the movie and whipped the fuck off the white bloody man who is whipping the poor boy!
the black boy was not a team player on the plantation,the whipping was well deserved
he kinda did it to himself really by running off,it was really a dumb idea
the black boy would not have gotten the whip if he would have not ran away,he was being selfish,he was given a job,housing,meals amd medical...........all provided for free by the plantaion owner,why was he so ungreatfull?
@@jennycraig99 exactly that's why they tore his ass up
These slave owners treated thier live stock better than the slaves,if a horse or cow ran off they just brought it back and that was that,but they didn't beat it,don't understand why they were so mean to these people,they didn't ask to become slaves it was forced on them.
kunta escaped four times was he ever sold to a different person? but noah escaped once and got sold?
After the fourth escape attempt, Kunta was sold.
Those catchers thought they were perfect

'The African' by Harold Courlander
It’s possible different Griots told similar version of the same story, that’s how oral traditions work. Alex Haley was connecting his lineage back the the great Kunta Kinte son of Omoro and Binta Kinte, Grandson of the Great Kairaba Kunta Kinte, for whom I was named after. The existence of these key figures have been passed down through many generations of oral traditions, or as in the case of Omar Ibn Said physical documents written in his own language of Fulani Arabic. That book makes this AFRICAN american story no less factual. He probably thought he was going to be the first to capitalized on the story, until he heard Kunta still had living descendants who weren’t just gonna sit back and let him profit off their Ancestor’s story.
"got no time for dreamin"
Seriously? I think hes got it backwards. Marrying and having kids with master that promises never to sell them. As long as they OBEY THE RULES. Is a dream to him. And escaping is reality.
Freddie should have gotten the rest of the Sweathogs together and beat the brakes off of Mr Brady.
Kizzy in Roots and Dorthy in The Wiz look alike! Im always waiting for Kizzy to bust into song hahaha :)
Dorothy in the Wiz was played by Diana Ross. They didn't look alike at all to me other than wearing the same hair style.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT A BLACK PERSONS LIFE HAVING LITTLE VALUE AT ALL IN THE NORTH. PARTICULARLY IN CHICAGO. THAT BEING SAID, I DID NOT SEE ANY POLICE IN THIS CLIP.
The slave catchers were the representations of brutal officers 🙄🙄
You know the word patrol comes from the term patty rollers which was the name of the party of slave catchers
That is the U.S place of racism... And suffering to minorities....
Suffering of Blacks not “minorities”
Brutal as the Nazi Concentrationcamps! 😑😡
Kizzy, didn't have any sense. She gotten her own self sold to Mr.More.
Why was she "property" to be "sold" in the first place? You're a disgrace to your name. Change it--IMMEDIATELY!!! To something more appropriate, like Aunt Jemima, Candace Owens, or Stacy Dash.

In the Roots mini-series Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs was getting a whipping, while others listened and cried. In the mini-series "The Jacksons: An American Dream", he was the one doing the whipping (he played Joe Jackson, so what a surprise), while others listened and cried.
Except there's still a difference between the two.
In the mini-series Hilton-Jacobs was not just getting a whipping, he was getting severely tortured. In The Jackson's movie, he was whipping his kid but it was considered to be only a spanking.
Can we just imagine the unimaginable torturous Hell that Noah was going through inside of that barn at the mercy of that sadistic overseer?

"Oh MAH CHOW!!! MAH CHOW!!" lol

That was horrible!
Let’s stop calling African slaves as “survivors.” Violence is not something one should be proud of having survived. Violence of slavery is a badge of shame transfigured into sugarcoated terminologies of policing and “securing society.” The rugged slave hunter was simply redressed into the uniformed urban police and the convenient narrative became conscripted as such: If Blacks had to be patrolled as slaves, then they should be equally patrolled while free. Once, we come to grip with this narrative we might begin to interrogate Black history not one trapped into terms such as “survivor,” but one that situates it as narrative of Resistance. Survivors tell stories, but these stories are not like the other romanticized heroes of Twain and Steinbeck (with due respect). These stories function as a map of consciousness through which we can locate True resistance. Of course, one easy way to come to the same point made here is to simply read the American (and European) history as a Reaction to the actions of rebellion and resistance. In that respect, they may be called survivors-but as those who tell us the truth of that history.
😁 You realize anyone who lived and prevailed from this history would be a survivor. Besides you are disregarding the civil rights movement.
The solution is hate against hate
Whipping someone how spiteful and vile

Back when this was aired in the 70’s…..I could not watch it….because….I kept hearing from other people… that it was so brutally cruel to these Black people……later in the 80’s when V.H.S. Machines came out…..I rented it from the local Video Store……it made me so sad to watch how these people were treated back then….only because their skin was Black…… it was a way of life then….happy it is not that way now a days.
Those guys probably reminded him of Kunta when he was younger.Reynolds is no different from the rest of those hicks.✊🏿
Unfortunately, there are now police who have replaced the whip with the taser
Taser and baton
