The Van Peebles are amazing!!! Okay. Not just their acting but the knowledge they share with us, how they bring amazing actors together to share stories, and their consistency.

Yeah, Mario is a good director too. Badasss was pretty good.

Mario Van people drop so many jewels of knowledge I feel like I just left Tiffany's

pause it at 11:03 and look at how mario stares at him,lol. he got that vibe like he waiting for his son to say sumthin dumb so he can knock the shit out him,lol.

Why are people getting angry at a slave movie, i love seeing movies like this just to think of what our ancestors went through. And how far we've came as a race, are we supposed to not make movies like this and pretend like slavery didn't exist....because it did.

I am not mad at the story and not hating on it, but there is so much more rich history that can be told, this was only 1 percent of what we experienced.

as a black man who's been to the south several times to visit his ancestors land (my family has owned 20 acres in woodville mississippi for 100 years) it gets tiresome when it seems like only time the black story can be told on screen is when it has to do with slavery. Of course that's the most important part of history to myself, but it's not our only history. What about a movie or show about the Mors or Mansa Musa the richest person to ever walk the earth for a change

all these people with negative comments could NOT have listened to this interview or the movie. I loved both, my parents loved both, instead of judging things by appearance and stereotypes, which black people face all the time, why not make a judgement based on what what YOU know instead. Watch the series then come back and say it's the same old same old

Wisdom all though this show......

Mario Van Peebles best role is the Pastor in Run The Race, and Sonny Spoon.

To y'all saying this is just another movie about slavery and how black people's history only started with slavery I have only ONE thing to say to you: JUST WATCH THE MOVIE! you'll see that this miniseries does not exemplify slavery as the beginning of our lineage but a significant event.

Blindian! 🙌🏽

Hey, was Mario ever mentored by Bette Davis the great actress? If not, who was the young black man that she did mentor? I would really like to know because about 20 years ago I saw an interview on t.v. about that but I forgot who it was and I can't find the video of it. Thank you for any responses.

Is you are going in on the black man with the paper met?

I saw the movie and what happened in Mandela's role was crazy how much what happened to him in the movie happens today all of the time. SMH.

one time at the foot doctor mr. Coffey on stocker and Crenshaw they let his whole family go before me i was pissed after being there 2hrs. anyways his family was very beautiful salute

i wonder why they did not mention Kipling wrote "The White Man's Burden"

i can understand why people are upset in the retelling of Roots. some people like the reboot because the new generation can't relate to Roots from 1977 - because it's from 1977! i remember it - it's not bad, it's just that it's like a black & white movie to kids because it's so old (not really). it it's older than yesterday, kids have issue with it and turn away from old things like they're the plague. the reboot presents it like it's fresh with current/modern actors and there is no shame in learning about our collective past. culturally it's been a painful journey, but we need to remember how hard we fought so it doesn't happen again. on the other hand, i can see why people complain about why slavery is all they see from Hollywood about us and they're tired of it. in a phrase - *it's all up to us*. our entertainers and successful business people / entrepreneurs could be putting up some of their hard earned, and not so hard earned, capital to make jobs and positive products to expose our children to. if we don't invest in greatness, we won't get it. we are a wonderful people and have other stories to tell, but if no one will put the funding behind those other projects, what's left? the usual. i would have way more respect for the *celebrities* if they simply went that extra mile, than i do when i see them cut their hair and then get extensions -on camera- like it was a such big deal and needed to show the world, when i see them introduce yet another athletic shoe to market because there are just not enough of them in the world right now, or when i see them pose with piles of cash just because they could. why don't you go that extra mile and actually do something productive with that cash, invest it in the future of your culture and you won't be complaining about what's been done because you would have been an example of a positive influence. like i said, i can understand but we can't just complain. prayer and faith without works is dead.

Everyone knows how EVIL slavery was,,,, but i must point something out. When Haley was writing this book it was popular, like now, for black folks to think Christianity was a new and forced religion on them. But slaves were NEVER muslim.. even in Africa. Islam had conquered NORTH AFRICA. 99% of slaves came from South and East Africa. And were sold BY MUSLIMS along the western coast. As a matter of fact.. The countries that have been CHRISTIAN the longest are all in Africa. Most of the slaves caught by the MUSLIMS and sold to Europeans were either their local tribal religion or Christian ... Although a WONDERFUL book, It is a work of Fiction. I'm not religious but it makes me sad to see black folks turn to Islam when actually it was Islam that enslaved and sold them to people all over the world.. Look it up.

this guy is a leader for the biracial ppl not for black ppl as a whole. 😂😂 U can't be Kunta Kinta that's it dude.
