The Timing of the Remaking of Roots

[TheOldSchool]

Racial tensions... Civil War...

Awfully suspicious right? And with an even stronger leg to stand on than your stupid theory.

So are YOU suggesting this country is on the precipice of a Civil War?

Aren't you? Racial tensions and all that...

Not really. More to do with compounding an existing problem, along with the political tensions that I see more of civil unrest, but I think war will be more on a wider scale than just here at home.

So your main problem with the Roots remake, a movie that nobody is talking about, is that you think it is pertinent to the current political atmosphere.

So in your opinion, should they wait until nobody cares about race to release the movie?

Given the history of humanity, that will never happen

So in your opinion, it is always innappropriate to release a Roots remake. Thanks I think we can end the thread now.

Production of something like this takes at least 5 years, maybe 10 or more.

Strange how people read into something what they want to see.

The idea of a Roots reboot started being discussed shortly after the 35th anniversary in 2012.

I think we should ask JustAnotherNut - in your opinion what years out of the last 35 years do you think it would have been appropriate, if any, to release a Roots remake?

Anyone else thinking the release of this film in one of the craziest election years in US history, with Obama on the way out of office and with racial tensions as high as the civil rights era is going to only cause more problems, than just providing historical entertainment?

I don't believe in coincidence.

Just cashing in on the hype, while it lasts. Before
the LGBT finish completely co-opting the media spotlight on discrimination.

Can't we all just get along... and blame the Mexicans?

Damn, so now the Mexicans are taking the scapegoat job away from us Jews?

I over heard a conversation between a white and black woman. The white woman asked the black woman if she was going to watch the remake of Roots. The black woman said, "no, because its going to make me hate white people "

Stirring up hatred and resentment towards whites fits the political agenda of the enemies of America during this pivotal and dangerous period of our nation's history.

This is the reason this remake is being released now!
