Does anyone else really like this show.
It's possible the most racist thing ever created but it's amazing how much our nation has changed and we have a black president running for president. Who woulda thought back in the day.

Isn't the point of the movie to denounce racism?  It's got racist stuff in it, yeah, but that's the point...

When i went to Africa 2 summers ago, i asked some of my cousins if they've ever seen this show. They said no =/ (but theyve seen family guy)

But yes, its phenomenal.

I was required to watch it during black history month in school about 5 years ago. Kind of graphic but it gets the message across of how far we have come.

No - he said that because he has black turrettes - its like regular tourettes - but instead of swearing or twitching - he finds himself claiming ot be black, or listing several famous black people one after the other

All except Michael Jackson....anyway I saw Roots last year and I thought it was a great thing to watch. It shows how far we've come.
