- Roots is an American television miniseries based on the fictional Alex Haley's 1976 novel Roots: The Saga of an American Family. The series first aired on ABC in January 1977.
when Alex Haley was asked how historically accurate the story is.
after having been critiqued by historians about the shows blatant inaccuracies.
he simply responded with "I wanted to give my people a myth to live by"
confirming the novel, and show's fictional nature.
edit:
i felt like i had to add the paragraphs above, due to all the people who comments expressing how they think its "totally true" and "still like that today"
amongst other absolutely insane statements.
She sees Kizzy as a pet, not a friend. Even if a slave is treated well, they’re still a slave.
Exactly!
Quite true! Sandy Duncan did an excellent job of suggesting that attitude.
At least I remember the name of my pets!!!!! Of my black cat, I can never imagine myself saying " I know of no darkie by that name "

Bruh this wasn’t even a horror movie and yet it sent chills down my spine
Probably because shit like this happened
Facts 💯
Seriously. The white woman acts so friendly, and yet there's a constant threat sitting between them, unspoken.
Brady Bunch and The Hogan Family is I can think of watching this clip besides the bs racism
The creepiest part of Roots for me is watching OJ Simpson effortlessly run down and overpower Levar Burton.
Just because it's legal doesn't make it right!
Like taxes

Agreed...that's why the Donald Trump trial is b.s..
It's just made up "legal fiction"..
U agree?

Sandy Duncan is a close friend of one of my friends and I’ve hung out with her a few times. She recalled the Black actors distancing themselves from the a white actors. She didn’t take it personally and understood that the film triggered generational trauma. It must’ve been mortifying to both actors to hear and say those things in this scene
…..Then, could you please let her know what a superb job she did of her role. Some of the finest works of art are borne of creative tensions and given the visceral topic of this seminal series, I am not surprised the cast were so moved.
The poignant Quincey Jones main theme still makes hairs on the back of my neck, stand on end.
I would imagine it was difficult to maintain respectable relationships on set.. And made the scenes more authentic and believable… I remember hating Sandy after seeing her.. which means she did an excellent job..
I often wonder how actors deal with some of the things they must do when playing a part. Very often actors play bitter enemies, they play a character who harms another character, and I wonder if there is real life fallout from that. Actors also often have to say things that are bigoted: Carroll O'Connor was Roman Catholic and played the anti-Catholic Archie Bunker and actors who are Jewish, Slavic, and gay have played Nazis.
“generational trauma”
Lmao
U are a bit like Kizzy. Oblivious. So was Sandy.
It was Kunta's worst nightmare to see Kizzy become close to Anne. He was right.
AMEN!
Parents usually are.
Anne was brainwashed.
@@MS-ns2pj she wasn't brainwashed. Anne was the product of over 200 years of slavery. She, her family and her ancestors viewed slavery as their right, which means they did not view slaves as normal human beings. Brainwashed suggests the person is being fooled or coerced. But in this case, it was her world and everyone recognized this. Kizzy would have been brainwashed into actually thinking Anne was her friend when the reality of the situation said such a relationship was not possible. She soon found out the harsh truth.
can someone spoil it for me
Superb, affecting acting.
I am still disturbed, recalling aged 8, Anne’s apathetic attitude as Kizzy was taken away, struggling and screaming for help. Anne also darn well did recognise her, all those later years. Kizzy showed remarkable restraint only spitting in her water. Should’ve baked her a chocolate custard pie à la ‘The Help’…..
Excellent comment.

……I fully concur!
She was like so many! Many enslavers were surprised that the enslaved would try to escape on Christmas because they had some meager gifts for them!😢
i doubt that many slave masters were surprised by anything, at least in private - deep down, they all knew that slavery was an abomination, but the economics of greed made it palatable - they all read newspapers and knew all about nat turner and elijah lovejoy, 30 years before the civil war
I like how later on in the movie kizzy spit in her cup for acting like she wasn't her best friend and not knowing her
That was right on!!!!!!!!
@@jeffreycone7504 damn right, I hope Missy Anne Reynolds rots in hell, that traitor, that b*tch!
I always wondered, did she really not remember her, or was she pretending not to.
@@Boaz833 white people in those days definitely would remember a black
@@Boaz833 she was obviously pretending not to, why else would Kizzy spit in her cup? she was nothing but a lying, traitorous b*tch!
This scene pissed me off. She was obsessed with her very weird
I think she was supposed to be so used to getting whatever she want and thought of kizzy more of a pet or object to add to her collection than a human being.
Back then they didn't have TV or Supercomputers that fit in your pocket..
You didn't have constant relentless dopamine hit stimulation
Do you remember her from the sequel "Roots; The Next Generation?" Anne showed her true colors in that one. Somebody here had a thread where they mentioned that Sandy Duncan couldn't watch herself in these movies. I don't blame her.
Very!
@@RammingSpeed-lk8kk and?
That comment about Quakers being evil took me out lol
Lol... it wasn't totally a lie.
They were the first to be completely against slavery.
@@NadinaStryhn yep. You aren't necessarily wrong. But they still segregated their congregation by color... yet they were supposed to be unfied by Christ. Jesus didn't beleive in segregation. They were abolitionists, but "segregationist" too.
And I was the first to make oatmeal.
Just look at the oatmeal can, so smug, I almost feel he's not telling me something about his oats
@@NadinaStryhn they were also pacificists and southerners were quite bellicose
Kizzy probably never dreamed helping Noah escape would ruin her. Poor girl. Just shows, no matter how ‘good’ they got it, no one wants to be a slave.
Nobody doesn’t want to be a slave like a stricted cage animal & especially..being taken away from their home/village where..? they were born. being a slave isn’t something to be proud of that’s being forced to work for the slave owner that doesn’t belong on the owner property & mistreating them like a dog...eating garbage.🗑
Lots of people would prefer slavery to starvation or death. No wonder slavery is so popular.
@@dallassegnowhere and who are these people you speak of ?
Sandy Duncan proved she could play any part
Even a pre-pubescent boy who lives in forever land.
No matter what age Duncan played, she always seemed to be about seven years old.
The fact Missy Anne sounds and looks like an innocent person makes this even more sad for Kizzy
She didn’t sound and look innocent when Kizzy mentioned the abolitionist....
@@tessax correct.
Whyt girls here in the south still flounch the ditsy innocent look, but have evil in their eyes when they see others being free minded or confident.

She did not say "You could be punished.", she said "I could have you punished.".

Missy Anne was a backstabber.
She was an empty-headed little fool. She knew what happened if she taught Kizzy how to read and Kizzy was caught. The rules Dr. Reynolds made were very clear. She just didn't care that Kizzy could be sold away from her Momma and Papa for it.

When this series was made, slavery was still legal in Mauritania. They abolished it in 1981.
They didn't actually make it illegal until 2006 and that's not actually enforced either

Slavery is still legal in quite a few parts of the world. Namely the middle east and Asia.

RIP John Amos. I'm guessing his departure today is the reason why this popped up on my feed.
John Amos and his white wife hahahaha Roots my behind😅
By the time she reached her elderly years, Kizzy eventually went completely blind and ended up living in the same apartment building as a horribly disfigured assassin with a terrible sense of humor who seemingly couldn't die, despite enduring injuries not compatible with living. She pretended to be annoyed with him whenever he showed up in her apartment, but deep down, she really enjoyed his company.
This made me cry knowing that at some point this was reality. To have someone look you in the face and say they’re smarter than you based on skin color when the only reason you’re less knowledgeable is because they ripped you from your home and dragged you some place foreign and taught you the bare minimum. It’s really sick thinking…
I agree. And it must be even more sickening to realise that it's your own people that are the ones catching you and selling you to foreigners.

Sandy Duncan in real life has a warm and upbeat personality and couldn't be more different from Missy Ann.
Nothing evil about Missy Anne. It was Kizzy who forged the traveling pass Missy Anne gave to her, so of course Missy renounced her friendship with Kizzy.
@@wonjubhoy And she did such a great job playing Missy Ann -- such an airhead, both as a young and an elderly woman. I see Missy Ann as someone who is naturally dumb and superficial and who has no issues believing in a doctrine that includes women naturally being less intelligent than man. Who cares, as long as you are white and can own your childhood friend like some kind of talking doll.
I haven't felt empathy in decades. I just don't understand it, but I DO understand decency. Everyone should treat their fellow man (and women) how they want to be treated. Slavery is one of the greatest crimes ever committed.
Thats empathy with dashes of decency thrown in
@@ohwell94 Someone unable to feel empathy is most likely a sociopath. But like they said, they can recognize decency and social justice. It looks like empathy but it is not. It's on intellectual level, not emotional.
Well then I have bad news for you. There’s more slaves in this day and age than there has ever been.
not everyone on this planet agrees with the golden rule or the Gospel of Christ - evil has always been, and will continue to be, a part of humanity
@@norijean3279 only 2% of the population are empaths. Which is similar to the percentage who are sociopaths. So why does everyone pretend to be empathetic?
You can tell Kizzy is Kunta's daughter here. One might wonder what difference it would make, considered that Kizzy is already enslaved, but becoming Missy Ann's next pet, after the filly -- that's insult to injury. Missy Ann obviously doesn't see the contradiction in wanting Kizzy both as a toy and a friend, but Kizzy does.
Exactly. Missy Ann doesn’t get that Kizzy wants an equal friendship and Kizzy knows that as long as she were to be Missy Ann’s slave it would never be a true friendship… it’s insulting.
You mean Toby’s daughter, do you want me to get the whip out !
Fictional characters.
@@MalloryNewcomb Actually, Kizzy didn't realize that @ first, she thought Misy Anne was indeed her best friend. Her father Kunta/Toby pointed out that friends don't own each other.
Indeed he did , in the book it was Belle who thought otherwise!!!!
I remember watching that whole series back in the 1970s ! I was maybe 13. Wasn’t good memory but sure made me realize how horrible all humans really are to each other, to the environment, to all living things ☹️
Fact
White humans
Some white people wish they go back.it would not be like they think .
Yeah, some humans suck so badly.
This is like a horror movie.
Ik I was just thinking I'm so glad I'm not a slave
This one scene encapsulates so very much about the attitude and feelings of both sides. How whites were comfortable in something so heinous, justifying it with God and Law as a "natural" thing and blacks voicing their resistance, ever mindful of the violent consequences. I don't agree with today's world excusing itself because this horror existed, but we should never forget that it did and the mindset that let it flourish. It is too easy to imagine the ones who oppose your way as being inferior and less intelligent and to oppress them "for their own good". May God and Man deliver us from this tyranny.
Those last two sentences remind me of the recent pandemic.
They were voting with their wallets
Always loved both of these women. In '97 Leslie Uggams did her cabaret act on a ship I was performing on. Then in '99 I went to see the Broadway revivial of Chicago for the second time and was pleasently supprised to find that Sandy Duncan was playing Roxie Hart!
It was disturbing then, and it's still disturbing now. Neither one of them could've imagined what was to come in 2024.
What happened in 2024?
I know it is just a movie and an old one and the concept was when slavery was a thing in america and I'm not even american not black or white but watching this makes me feel sick
jerem goc-ong That sick extremely racist mentality is very much alive in 80% of Caucasians today.
As it should.
That's what they were aiming for; it's for movies like this that Hollywood was established. You've hinted that you're aware that it's fiction, but did you know it was plagiarized, too?
It was based on part fact, part fiction
You people are so stupid. Slavery still exists and in many forms. It always has. And blacks were not the only ones slaved. Also Irish and many Asians and many others. Black people need to quit thinking they are something special. Give me a race and I can tell you of their persecution and inslavement.
Right now you should be worried about a larger threat. That of child slavery for sex. Vote for Trump he is the only who is willing to fight that battle. The rest of the politicians are totally lost to evil.

It's her insolence that makes her sound so evil... She sees kizzy as her favorite object. Not a friend ( A LESSER THAN)
If it aired today, the alt-right would label the series as woke and drag it through the sewers. Alex Haley went out of his way to make the series palatable and Lavar Burton was genius level casting.
Well sort of , much has become of who contributed what to the piece and the book.
@@MassiveBoyVentures We'd need more space than the chat space here to present all of that plus what was possible at the time it was produced in order to get it made as compared to how the process has changed today. Also, today we have a lot more information available than what was within Alex Haley's ability to gather.
You’re very confused. The left is the party of slavery, that hasn’t changed.
No, they wouldn’t. You’re a moron.
It is woke as far as being Hollywood's interpretation. It's a good series, though and does try to show perspectives. People seem to forget that hundreds of thousands of white men died to end slavery, even though people try to paint their efforts as somehow self-serving.

I like how they never had the guts of showing the true age of children to slaves. They always happen to be grown adults themselves rather than underage.
I actually remember this scene and most of this mini series. Very well done and I love Sandy Duncan.
Shes amazing
The way they talk about slavery as if it's no big deal is insane to me. I get that at the time this was set it truly was no big deal, but watching this nowadays it feels like it's set on a different planet.
It's easy for the white woman to talk about it as nothing, but she'd be the first to complain if it happened to her. Lucky for her the government and the church though it was God's decision.
I don't understand the point of saying how much actors hated these hateful roles. 1) They're actors. This is their job. They were telling a very important story. 2) Of course they're going to say they hate it. Who's going to say they loved being the whip-cracker in a slavery movie? No one.
But they had an ALL-STAR cast. This was THE movie to be in at the time. Why? Because of the importance of the film. They should have LOVED their opportunity to be a part of this, not hate it. And I believe they did.
The point is because there are some people who have a hard time distinguishing between the character they see on screen, and the actor playing the role. Another comment in this section mentions that Sandy Duncan received hate mail for this.
The more ppl hate it the more the actor/ actress did their jobs Im not sure ppl realize this ? It’s like the crazy fans who go to a WWE event and want to fight the heel in real life who is just playing a character in the ring . Lol
If you've ever had to act then it's more than just make believe. You really get into character and feel what your character feels.
That on top of having to do scenes over and over and over again, hopefully you can understand where the problem was.

In 1976, the year before "Roots" debuted, Sandy Duncan played Pinocchio in a made-for-TV musical special on CBS (Danny Kaye, Flip Wilson, and Liz Torres co-starred In it),. But for the life of me, I don't know what she had done prior to "Pinocchio" that had catapulted her to stardom. Broadway???
It aired January of 1977.
After commercials and a Tony Award nomination, Time Magazine named her one of the "most promising faces of tomorrow" in 1970. Afterwards, in addition to a Disney movie, she had her own sitcom in 1971-1972. It was originally called Funny Face. Then she had her eye tumor. When she came back, the show was revamped and called The Sandy Duncan Show.

You really think you’re gonna have good luck in life being so horrible to people who suffered so much they weren’t even considered human. You’re all what’s wrong with the world, 😒🤡🖕
One question a lot of people ask is how white people at the time could do that to black people and what people don’t realize is that the initial slave owners put universal rules in to place to make African slaves seem like livestock/sub-human. Why do you think they weren’t allowed to read or write, a lot of slaves spoke different languages initially so their English was broken, it was all to ensure that other white people will see them as less and justify the horrible evil treatment. If they didn’t strip black people of those abilities, then slavery would’ve been a harder thing to keep in place especially for the hundreds of years it went on for.
The black people in Africa were the ones to first sell their own kind into slavery. Blacks weren’t the only slaves to ever exist either. White people were also in bondage to other white people way before all of this.
Remember people, this show was based off a book that the author himself said all the dialogue and interactions were fiction he wrote them for effect to get your attention, it's hollywood.
every other comment I read sounds like the person thinks they were watching a historical documentary when they saw this clip.
People shouldn't be expected to feel bad for something their families had nothing to do with with ie; slavery, nor should anyone expect them to.
Everybody had something to do with slavery. Either you practiced it, or you benefited from it, or you tolerated it, or you fought it, or you were a slave. No one was completely untouched by it.

@@rdf098311 No, but if you didn't fight it, you automatically tolerated it, and you lived in a nation that benefited economically from it, and you were part of that economy, so you benefited from it.
This hitting different in 2022 is an understatement.
In what way?
You'll get over it.

Slavery may be officially abolished, but certain attitudes haven't changed.
Slavery is still happening in parts of the world. Attitudes have definitely changed a great deal over time.
What are you talking about😂😂?
@@ZeeNasteeslavery still happens in Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia..etc..
Agreed nobody cares..
Certainly not American SJWs..
They only complain about problems that were solved decades ago
@@RammingSpeed-lk8kk Go back to sleop
People are gonna watch this and use it as a "They would" or "they did" instead of taking the "Treat people as people and not the enemy or less then human" because they are bad people and only want the image of being a good person.
This was the ONLY time I didn't like Sandy Duncan so much.
Shes amazing. Stop being a lil bietch.
This is dystopian and it was real life.
Can’t we all get along
Impossible.
@@jeunesseeternelle9803with that mindset it is

Some people will never be able to get along...especially greedy, selfish, psychopathic people.
Sandy Duncan did such an excellent job, should've gotten an Emmy. The ultimate wolf in sheep's clothing, and she nailed it, how she went from nice to evil just like that!
Bare in mind that inspight it being obvious to the naked eye, this is supposed to be convo btwn to adolescent girls vs grown ass women over 30.
This scene is truly horrifying.
I agree with you.
No Canada. I don't want to be your slave.
The underground railroad didn't do to Africa....
@@peterjanjanin9883Africa is a continent. Where in Africa. What country?
I’ve heard Sandy Duncan say that being in Roots in that role almost ended her career.
holy shit 🤦🏾♂️😒
the amount of people in these comments who don’t know what this is
🗣️ THIS IS ROOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
🗣️ PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELVES!!!!!
Many actors and others responsible for this show accepted these challenging parts and propelled them to more iconic roles like Geordi LaForge, Mike Brady, Peter Pan, etc
I never could grasp how these opposites date
Sandy Duncan hated this
She read the script beforehand. I'm sure she didn't hate that paycheck
@@kevinfrimpong969 was it morally wrong for her to play this role?
@@kevinfrimpong969quite a few people black and white didn’t like certain scenes they had to play. The late lou gossett was so upset by the kunta whipping scene..he cried. It wasn’t in the script. The guy that played the overseer directing the whipping was friends w Gossett and was so concerned about the scene he apologized to Lou before hand. There were others as well.
That big smile and talk of friendship faded real quick when Kizzie brought up abolition, huh? 😡

This is so painful to watch dear God. Also for anyone whos watched the whole thing, is Anne attracted to Missy? Thats just the vibe I got at least, which makes her wanting to distance her from her family and having her live with her even worse. (Not because its gay ofc)
A few of those southern slave owners were non-straight on a down low. Absolute Fact!
Honestly, that's the vibe I got from Anne. Anne's body language (constantly touching Missy, a total of four times just from this short clip alone but she did the same during other times, leaning forward and smiling in an extremely ecstatic way, wanting Missy to live in the room right next to her room, etc) STRONGLY emphasized that she was attracted to her (that's my interpretation). "Coming out" down south during that era was a HUGE no-no (some could get away with that in certain select places up north, especially in some areas in New York City at certain "secret bars / secret night clubs" that existed, and even mainstream NYC places of the mid-1800's like McGlory's which had "secret areas" where individuals could meet up and date others, but nothing like that existed down south). Figure this was Anne's only way of getting with someone that she wanted to get with.
If a girl was like "don't you wanna be my slave?" I'd probably blurt out "yes!" before even having a chance to think
Oh…
@@Smoothbrain-nvrm yes!

The first person bought for life in the American English colonies was purchased by BLACK African immigrant Anthony Johnson from Angola. He bought John Casor. White Irish men were sold by British as part of the Transportation Act of 1716. Word Slave comes from Slav, the Slavic people were enslaved by for example the Romans (whites enslaved whites). American Indians did Not free their slaves either because Lincoln said so nor because the civil war ended. Indians kept their slaves until the Reconstruction Treaty years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Cherokee complained of the trail of tears partly because it was hard on their slaves! Lincoln freed 23 million Russian slaves; day before Lincoln was sworn in Czar wanted to be first so he freed 23 million Russian slaves the day before Lincoln was sworn in
Would you like that ?

Oh yes massa my biggest wish to be your slave .....🤣🤣🤣
Actually, if the alternative was field work, being a lady's personal maid might be preferable.
That'd be funny if Jan entered the last scene and was all "why do I have to wear glasses? All the kids are making fun of me"!

It's because of God that we have slavery ...
@@peterjanjanin9883 Don't blame God for this. God gave people free will. Humans can choose to do better, but they just don't. God created the universe, yes, but He never said that slavery was right. The Bible is bonkers, it's not a real book...it's all fiction and Christianity is fake. I'm not talking about Christianity, I'm talking about the real God that is not from any man-made religion.
