That's deep. I don't know what it means though.

Then the idea for us is to bleed the enemy so hard that they question whether they actually won.

Way outside the Los Angeles area in a city called Fontana they had 1 drive in theater there. One time they had a showing of Roots there. They played the movie backwards so it had a happy ending.

I have seen it and always wondered why there was not ever a white version of Roots. I would love to learn who sold the white people to Ghenghis Khan.

I don't remember much (too young) but I can see it as sowing the first seeds of suicidal empathy.

I thought a reboot was coming. You know, Karens leading the charge to free and educate the ''poor souls'' to a better life because of their sacrifices

I remember it as an adult ... Kuta Kente or whatever.

I was in 7th grade when it aired and i was attacked more than once randomly by black kids i didn't even know at my school. No way to know for sure, but I always suspected that the show poisoned relations between whites and blacks at the school. Never experienced anything like it before that but I did after.

Slave owners were not trying to take over the world and destroying anyone who got in their way. So, the two are not anything close.
