I am sure it has nothing to do with an attempt to fan racial flames for political purposes.
|
|
I get the white guilt message shoved down my throat in every other aspect of media, fuck willfully subjecting myself to that tripe.
|
|
|
Um...no.
I'd have to kick my own white ass if I even thought about it. |
|
We're gonna get the projector and white sheets out and play it for all the neighborhood kids. It's gonna be a big event.
|
|
I think I was 7 or 8 when it first aired.
I care as much now as I did then. |
|
wasn't the author proven to be a fraud that made up whatever parts of the story he liked?
Not that being a fraud would slow the narrative of the day, just an idle question. |
|
Hell no.
I get enough white shaming during the week already. No need to subject myself to this. |
|
No, I watched the original on TV as a kid.
Somethings shouldn't be rewatched. Chris |
|
I was going to, but then I remembered that's the day it was my turn to get shot out of a cannon.

/Begin tasteless joke/
I'm going to record it and watch it backwards so it'll have a happy ending. /End tasteless joke/ No, I think I won't be watching it. There hasn't been anything based on history worth watching on TV for a long time. It's all framed to push an agenda anymore, unfortunately. |

|
Nah.
I see enough black people on TV as it is. Mainly on the 6 o'clock news. Cuz, ya know... the reporters. |
|
Nope, I'm quite sure that the original series is better. And I've read the book several times. I'd wager that this new version will be filled with even more PC bullshit than actual historical context.

|
I despise fiction that's passed off as documentary-drama and the networks that do it.
|
|
It's rather ironic that the movie has a white guilt agenda by bringing up slavery in America, but not that those slaves were sold to the slave traders by Africans. The practice of slavery continues in Africa to this day.

ROOTS, the sport channel with the Stanley Cup finals on....yes.
|
|
|
|
|
Fuck no. I've been white guilted to death already.
They won't show a black man selling another black man to a white man, because politics. |
|
I should...
I won't be around to see the next one in 25 years. |

I'm kidding. Headed to the couch right now for a front row seat.

I intend to watch it until my white ass gets insulted, then I'll change channels. Lately, I get insulted very often. I try to remember the sponsors so I'll know not to buy their shit.
I'm predicting I get to watch 5 minutes or less. |
|
What did my DI say about sympathy?
Some one please remind me....it's in the dictionary somewhere, but I'm having a websters withdrawal moment... I know it's here somewhere.. |
