Another thing that is sad is that his mind just cant accept that he's a slave. He was a free warrior on horseback one day and the next he is property. Its also like that guy Solomon from 12 years a slave
This scene is more powerful and intense than the 1977 version. Kunta Kinte was a strong willed man who refused to give up who he truly is. He was whipped until his will was broken.💔
The three actors did a great job with this scene but it's not better than the 1977 version. Lou Gosset's performance in that scene was probably the best acting ever on television
I dont mind this movie being seen as an accurate depiction of what transpired during slavery in America, but if it is used to spread hate against white people then it's wrong. We are a nation of one now, this is in the pass and we must find unity with all brothers and see the potential of what it is to come together as one. It's commanded by GOD that we love our enemies and move on towards unity under Jesus Christ. But sadly some people will use this movie as propaganda to spread more hate and division.

@Sulk slavery as practiced in Israel is very different from how the nations were practicing it. For example, slavery was a form of paying a debt for up to 7 years max. Slaves were to be treated kindly. If the master hurt the slave the slave was to be set free. After 7 years, if the slave wants to stay with the master because he loves his lifestyle and loves his master he was able to make a covenant at will or be set free

It's not a part of history. Happens all the time all over the world. We had gypsies enslaving homeless men in Lincolnshire. Working them, torturing them, hunting them when they ran. Prisons still use slave labour all over the world. Child labour in the 3rd world is nowt better than slavery. Sexual slavery all across the globe through violence and drugs.

I remember watching the original in school for my Junior year of High School. Many of my classmates laughed. They called it cheesy but I kinda looked away. It was heart breaking. Now I am watching this and it blows the original scene out of the water because of how brutal it is. I am shaking just typing this cause not only is it a powerful scene, but heartbreaking and brutal. Both versions are amazing and I would say give them both a watch.

Roots was such an amazing emotional miniseries that I enjoyed. I as a Black Australian man of East African Somali descent love the Black American community. I myself have no enslaved and segregated ancestors because they were East African Somali people who were never captured or kidnapped or sold into slavery because they came from a strong empire. I am the proud son of two East African Somali immigrant parents both my father and my mother plus my paternal uncle which they all successfully immigrated to Australia in the mid 1990s escaping the Somali Civil War which devastated the country. My family and I still live there today. I love Australia because it is so peaceful and relaxing here plus I enjoy my life here in this incredible country. If I was a descendant of an amazingly tough enslaved and segregated ancestors who went through so much suffering I would always honour them plus remember them. I would never disgrace or forget what they had to experience the painful torment of racism. My heart goes out to all the oppressed Black people in the past that had go through the African Tribal Warfare, the Transatlantic Slave Trade, Chattel Slavery, the Colonial Wars, the Domestic Slave Trade, the American Civil War, the Ku Klux Klan Racial Terror Lynchings, the Race Riots, Convict Leasing, Jim Crow Segregation, the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, Redlinings, the Inner City Gang Violence, the War On Drugs, Police Brutality, the Racial Bias in the Criminal Justice System, and Private Prison Abuse. In the United States of America today there is still Inner City Gang Violence, Police Brutality, Racial Bias in the Criminal Justice System, and Private Prison Abuse so depressing. America needs a huge criminal justice reform, economic reform, gun control reform, immigration reform, police reform, political reform, and prison reform. I send my love plus support all the way from Lakemba, New South Wales, Australia. To all my fellow human brothers and sisters around the world, always remember be genuine & take care of one another.
Well kinda like Leonardo di Caprio's character in Django Unchained these slave owners invested themselves in racist pseudoscience which said that naturally everyone non white was inferior and not human which they used to justify their brutality on their slaves

Pains me more to know that after our ancestors suffered this much to keep their culture alive, africans are still abandoning their African names and culture.
Wtf do you mean Africans abandoning their cultures dont mix us in with afro-american and most afro-europeans and africa is a continent next time speak about a specific nation because most afro-americans are west africans so as an east african my culture has nothing to do with yours (we were sold to the Europeans and Asians) when speaking about UR ancestors hardships dont mix it ours heck even the south africans had it worse than ur ancestors they even lost their home land to the whites only africans who barely got of without perversion of years of history were the north but by now their blood is mixed with European and Arabs to the point where people dont know there used to be black north africans

And i was told to love everyone. This movie show's exactly what i mean when i say the world is f*cked. Everyone says that people had this much evil in there heart even though they still do. No body was ever good and slavery is one of the best examples of that. This movie is the definition of honesty. Im sad that, that was once the world. - Hope your all safe in quarantine though.
There are good and bad sides to humanity. Actually the world is constantly improving and I think we can confidently say that good has been triumphing over evil for centuries, extremely gradually. The fact you can go to sleep at night and not have to worry about being enslaved tomorrow is a testament to that.

I really wish the History Channel would have made more of an effort with this miniseries. So many good scenes from the book were left out; and the History Channel took WAY too many liberties in adding things that didn't happen in the book OR the original TV series.
@@angelinajackson7684 Well, some things they got wrong are: Juffure, Kunta's home village, was made much larger in the new series. In the book and old miniseries, it was a very small village. The Mandinka people in the book didn't have horses, as they do in the new series. Cattle, chickens, donkeys and goats, yes; but no horses. Kunta's uncles weren't present for his manhood training. Kunta had three younger brothers; but in both the old and new miniseries, only one is ever seen. Kunta was not betrayed and sold into slavery by someone he knew, as the new miniseries shows. Dr. Waller, Kunta's second master, was not the father of Missy Anne. In the book, Kizzy never met a slave named Sam. Noah was the only man she ever had feelings for. In the book, Kizzy never went through Kunta's improvised manhood training. He taught her some words in Mandinka, much to Belle's annoyance, and briefly considered teaching her to write in Arabic. In the book, Dr. Waller didn't have an overseer. Noah wasn't delivered by an improvised cesarean section. The whole thing with Chicken George's son, Tom, meeting that woman who was an abolitionist spy or whatever... That didn't happen in the book or original miniseries. That's a few of the differences. I know I sound nitpicky, but I really like the book, and the older miniseries.
Gyarren What would be the point of a new series, the reason what things are added I believe and things are taken away is due to the fact of more understanding of the cultures in that region of Africa, a region that was very Islamic at the point in history and region that was less humble. Horses for example was used in those region in war and for other reason. The point I’m making is the new roots has been influenced by decades of new understanding, even the revolt on the ship was common place. The new roots expresses the power of Africans in more positive way..
The new Roots is just not...ROOTS. It shouldve never happened. After watching both, and Roots: The Next Generation, there was no point of remaking the original series. I could understand "developmentbof new information" but that couldve seriously been added in an online article or documentary. The new series is honestly part of the many 'cash grabbing remakes' we've seen Holluwood over do in the 2010's. They couldve possibly done better by just exclusively airing the original series over a weekend instead.
I actually really like this updated adaptation of this scene, but I don’t know if I like the directorial decision to have apparitions of his parents. I think the fact that you only see Kunta Kinte’s parents at the beginning of the show and they’re never mentioned again in the older version really added that impact and weight of the fact they’re forgotten people like many families of slaves were when they were brought over to foreign countries. But I haven’t watched the new one and I haven’t watched the old Roots since middle school.
It was to also emphasis that Kunta Kinte realizes he will never go home no matter how hard he tries. So at this point he resigns himself to his fate as a slave.
Tobi with an "I." With an accent over the "I," and a little line over the "O," so you know it's a long vowel sound and not a short one. And sometimes I like to dot the "I" with a little smiley face or a heart or something. Something to brighten the reader's day.
Rather brutal, but this isn't the proper way to break an individual and make them accept slavehood. This is how you keep other slaves in line so they don't get any ideas about rising up. The moment Connelly said he wanted Kunta healthy, he gave power over to Kunta by informing him of how important he was alive. Connelly would have had far more success in breaking Kunta's spirits by telling him that if he didn't accept the name Toby, all the other slaves would be whipped for his defiance, and that all of their pain and suffering would be because of his own stubbornness. Kunta may have his pride in who he is, but how many people will willingly allow hundreds to suffer for the sake of their pride, while being forced to watch their suffering? How many innocent slaves getting whipped would it have taken before Kunta finally submitted for their sake?
Same with mine Colonial America which was a settler colony part of the Brtish Empire was trading with my ansctors country India. Remember that the East India Trading Company arrived in India 1 year after Jamestown Virginia colony was established India was the largest manufacturing and economic power with 27 percent GDP with the largest economy and manufacturing power ahead of western Europe and Quing Dynasty China. India was the largest manufacturing power and economic power in the world
In the original, Mr. Reynolds initially seems humane, as he gives Fiddler the task of breaking Kunta Kinte in rather than letting Ames do it. After Kunta Kinte tries to escape, Reynolds tells Fiddler that Kunta Kinte will now be Ames' responsibility, but he detaches himself from the whipping. In this version, he is present at the whipping and casually gives the overseer the signal to go ahead.
"leave it in the past" do you know how much pain it brings to me my ancestors used to be treated like this and they find new to press us to this day. But all they can say is forget the past which they ancestors created and now they benefit from. If anything pls don't tell the hurt how to feel going to the white people.
Steffen Meier So why the fuck are you revisiting this scene if slavery is unimportant to you and isn’t worth remembering. People who aren’t affected by this event (YOU) will ALWAYS make it your life mission to undermine the long lasting effects of slavery and how that ripples into the current social, economic, class, opportunities, privilege systematically controlled by Jim Crow Laws, segregation, government, real estate, and indoctrination to Black people currently. Black people right now are trying to undo those years of oppression and it’s not easy. It’s hard to climb out of a grave when it has been dug down so deeply. Smfh.

Truly disgusting. To think about how many souls, all throughout the ages, since man had the essence of thought, have been broken in such a similar manner. Strapped to an object, fear and angst flooding their hearts and minds, their body bare for abuse, stricken again and again by a beast that calls themselves human and master. All the blood and tears wept in vain, as they realize that no amount of courage will prevent their miserable end.
@@damnedifidonut What was the point? Be defiant until he couldn’t take no more and capitulate anyway? If he was smart he would’ve just said his name was Tobi and not get whipped.

There comes a point where it’s not about resisting pain until it’s over. It was never going to be over. Either you make a decision to live or die. And if you live, you might live to see your enemies fall…preferably by your own hands.
Yeah that version of Kunta Kinte folded after a maximum of ten. Twice you hear the whip fall but no scream so it might have only been eight strokes that landed. This one I think he takes twenty four before giving in.
It’s crazy how Black People today say they couldn’t be a slave like they would’ve had a choice. Yes there were slaves that rebelled absolutely, but they were beaten and killed.
When I was younger my grand dad used to lift me up over his shoulders and say kunte kinte and even after watching this I still haven’t clue why he did it 😂
It’s totally messed up, but remember, he wasn’t just whipping him for him to say Toby. He whipped him in front of everyone as a control tactic too. Super messed up part of U.S. history. That being said, Black tribes in Africa sold their enemies into slavery long before American came to be. Arabian nations also were in the slave trade long before as well. Slavery was in Rome as well. I’m not defending this for the U.S., but we did not participate in this practice for thousands of years like other countries have. Still, super hard to watch.
Some white people still do this. You tell them your name is Lilitha then they ask you for an alternative name or nickname. Eventually they ask you very politely "Is it okay if I call you Lily?"
Really because I've been white all my 68 years I've never heard of anyone doing this. Not at all. As a matter of fact you're the first person I've ever heard say something like this.

Roots was such an amazing emotional miniseries that I enjoyed. I as a Black Australian man of East African Somali descent love the Black American community. I myself have no enslaved and segregated ancestors because they were East African Somali people who were never captured or kidnapped or sold into slavery because they came from a strong empire. I am the proud son of two East African Somali immigrant parents both my father and my mother plus my paternal uncle which they all successfully immigrated to Australia in the mid 1990s escaping the Somali Civil War which devastated the country. My family and I still live there today. I love Australia because it is so peaceful and relaxing here plus I enjoy my life here in this incredible country. If I was a descendant of an amazingly tough enslaved and segregated ancestors who went through so much suffering I would always honour them plus remember them. I would never disgrace or forget what they had to experience the painful torment of racism. My heart goes out to all the oppressed Black people in the past that had go through the African Tribal Warfare, the Transatlantic Slave Trade, Chattel Slavery, the Colonial Wars, the Domestic Slave Trade, the American Civil War, the Ku Klux Klan Racial Terror Lynchings, the Race Riots, Convict Leasing, Jim Crow Segregation, the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, Redlinings, the Inner City Gang Violence, the War On Drugs, Police Brutality, the Racial Bias in the Criminal Justice System, and Private Prison Abuse. In the United States of America today there is still Inner City Gang Violence, Police Brutality, Racial Bias in the Criminal Justice System, and Private Prison Abuse so depressing. America needs a huge criminal justice reform, economic reform, gun control reform, immigration reform, police reform, political reform, and prison reform. I send my love plus support all the way from Lakemba, New South Wales, Australia. To all my fellow human brothers and sisters around the world, always remember be genuine & take care of one another.

There are good and bad sides to humanity. Actually the world is constantly improving and I think we can confidently say that good has been triumphing over evil for centuries, extremely gradually. The fact you can go to sleep at night and not have to worry about being enslaved tomorrow is a testament to that.

Mr Ames didn't whip Kunta Kinte a slave named James did

I really wish the History Channel would have made more of an effort with this miniseries. So many good scenes from the book were left out; and the History Channel took WAY too many liberties in adding things that didn't happen in the book OR the original TV series.
Gyarren like what?
@@angelinajackson7684
Well, some things they got wrong are:
Juffure, Kunta's home village, was made much larger in the new series. In the book and old miniseries, it was a very small village.
The Mandinka people in the book didn't have horses, as they do in the new series. Cattle, chickens, donkeys and goats, yes; but no horses.
Kunta's uncles weren't present for his manhood training.
Kunta had three younger brothers; but in both the old and new miniseries, only one is ever seen.
Kunta was not betrayed and sold into slavery by someone he knew, as the new miniseries shows.
Dr. Waller, Kunta's second master, was not the father of Missy Anne.
In the book, Kizzy never met a slave named Sam. Noah was the only man she ever had feelings for.
In the book, Kizzy never went through Kunta's improvised manhood training. He taught her some words in Mandinka, much to Belle's annoyance, and briefly considered teaching her to write in Arabic.
In the book, Dr. Waller didn't have an overseer.
Noah wasn't delivered by an improvised cesarean section.
The whole thing with Chicken George's son, Tom, meeting that woman who was an abolitionist spy or whatever... That didn't happen in the book or original miniseries.
That's a few of the differences. I know I sound nitpicky, but I really like the book, and the older miniseries.
Gyarren What would be the point of a new series, the reason what things are added I believe and things are taken away is due to the fact of more understanding of the cultures in that region of Africa, a region that was very Islamic at the point in history and region that was less humble. Horses for example was used in those region in war and for other reason. The point I’m making is the new roots has been influenced by decades of new understanding, even the revolt on the ship was common place. The new roots expresses the power of Africans in more positive way..
Gyarren They are creative choices the bring out the real character of African people.
The new Roots is just not...ROOTS. It shouldve never happened. After watching both, and Roots: The Next Generation, there was no point of remaking the original series. I could understand "developmentbof new information" but that couldve seriously been added in an online article or documentary. The new series is honestly part of the many 'cash grabbing remakes' we've seen Holluwood over do in the 2010's. They couldve possibly done better by just exclusively airing the original series over a weekend instead.
If i have a son I'll never name him Toby just looking at this would make me mad 😡
You are gorgeous tho if I must admit myself 😊👍🏽
McFaulkner 15 simp?
It’s not the names fault
Duqk come again??
idk I kinda like the name Toby, but when you use it like this...just no
I actually really like this updated adaptation of this scene, but I don’t know if I like the directorial decision to have apparitions of his parents. I think the fact that you only see Kunta Kinte’s parents at the beginning of the show and they’re never mentioned again in the older version really added that impact and weight of the fact they’re forgotten people like many families of slaves were when they were brought over to foreign countries. But I haven’t watched the new one and I haven’t watched the old Roots since middle school.
It was to also emphasis that Kunta Kinte realizes he will never go home no matter how hard he tries. So at this point he resigns himself to his fate as a slave.
I agree!
Tobi with an "I."
With an accent over the "I," and a little line over the "O," so you know it's a long vowel sound and not a short one.
And sometimes I like to dot the "I" with a little smiley face or a heart or something.
Something to brighten the reader's day.
This version is more brutal than the 1977 one.
Rather brutal, but this isn't the proper way to break an individual and make them accept slavehood. This is how you keep other slaves in line so they don't get any ideas about rising up. The moment Connelly said he wanted Kunta healthy, he gave power over to Kunta by informing him of how important he was alive. Connelly would have had far more success in breaking Kunta's spirits by telling him that if he didn't accept the name Toby, all the other slaves would be whipped for his defiance, and that all of their pain and suffering would be because of his own stubbornness. Kunta may have his pride in who he is, but how many people will willingly allow hundreds to suffer for the sake of their pride, while being forced to watch their suffering? How many innocent slaves getting whipped would it have taken before Kunta finally submitted for their sake?

@@BryW1LL it's so unfair that they tried to take Kunta Kinte's name from him. Disgusting!
In the original, Mr. Reynolds initially seems humane, as he gives Fiddler the task of breaking Kunta Kinte in rather than letting Ames do it. After Kunta Kinte tries to escape, Reynolds tells Fiddler that Kunta Kinte will now be Ames' responsibility, but he detaches himself from the whipping. In this version, he is present at the whipping and casually gives the overseer the signal to go ahead.
The overeseers and slave masters alike were much more racist in the 2016 version.
yeah so why the change? Its FICTIONAL thats why
He definitely seemed even colder in this version.

They scared of what happens to them
He was more stubborn or strong than the previous Kunta Kinte (Levar Burton).

It’s totally messed up, but remember, he wasn’t just whipping him for him to say Toby. He whipped him in front of everyone as a control tactic too. Super messed up part of U.S. history. That being said, Black tribes in Africa sold their enemies into slavery long before American came to be. Arabian nations also were in the slave trade long before as well. Slavery was in Rome as well. I’m not defending this for the U.S., but we did not participate in this practice for thousands of years like other countries have. Still, super hard to watch.
Some white people still do this. You tell them your name is Lilitha then they ask you for an alternative name or nickname. Eventually they ask you very politely "Is it okay if I call you Lily?"
