That was the case of all slaves. Besides his "freedom" wouldn't be much; he'd just get a job in the North that paid a little more, and living-expenses might be higher. He might not be able to afford a wife.
As a he said he was from the Akan tribe, I had to skip backwards and hear it again. It was really emotional as I come from the Ashanti tribe. 🥺 Edit: for more accuracy the Akan are an ethnolinguistic group comprised of tribes, in Ghana, one is the Ashanti tribe.

The original Hebrews or Jews were Not black. Plus the Bible and Hebraism is a lie to you by nature, and as well it is antiblack. Wake up. The Bible or Hebrew mythology fiction says neither nor endorses what you just pulled from your ass fool wake up. You are a liar and now I expose you.
And both were slave traders. The Malinke moved from Mali to Senegal in order to trade in slaves for the Kings of Mali. The Kinte clan were rich slave traders. The Akan also traded with the Arabs before trading with the Portuguese, Dutch, French, Spanish, English and Americans.

@@samsparacino2250 it was more of John didn’t agree with how they were representing a black family on tv. They focused more on JJ being silly than the other 2 kids who actually wanted to be successful. They couldn’t agree and they fired him.
360whiplash: this version of the story is pretty sketchy on the facts. Later the TBS version revealed the fact that he was sold into slavery by a rival tribe, and then brought to America, where he escaped to join the British army, but deserted because they used him for a human shield, and was returned to the farm.

The late Raymond St. Jacques and John Amos...classic from two icons of cinema.
Good Times!
The free spirit of kunta kinte lives in paradise Toby died when his heart stopped beating.
John Amos is a LEGEND
And he chose his family over his freedom.

@@joeswanson6782 he’d also experience rampant racism and discrimination in the north
what did he get? he is family left him due to the slave masters intolerance
@@johnholmes2745 The rampant racism and discrimination was in the South dear. Get your facts straight.

The book Roots is a copy of the book The African is a 1967 novel by Harold Courlander.

The greatest mini series of all time in my opinon. Crushed me to find out Alex Haley was sued for plagiarism.
Ghana and Gambia meet!
How so?
The tribes?

I just realized something: JJ was the inspiration for JarJar.
Kunta's decision to not run away when he had the chance would end up being a costly one later on down the road.
Why?

But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Rich brown skin. I wonder if I'm like that
What this name of this movie

If only some slaves held on to their names and history and passed it on their descendants would HV been back home by now.
Didn't work that way. Sorry to say.
