It pisses me off James never showed Queen the slightest of affection even in private. He loved Easter but yet could not show that love towards his daughter. I know the times were different but everyone knew he was the father.
Even though slaves were free nothing change because there weren’t any laws that protected formal slaves to be safe . So slavery was still being practiced just done on the down low
@@cognitivedissonancechristi516In those days, I would have to agree with you. They only looked out for their own preservation. And when it came to Queen and her mother. They were only looked at as slaves, period.
If they were loved he would have freed them! Except he went to war to keep them as his property! Lost his fortune to keep them captive! Like an animal! Nope that’s not love at all! He walked right past her when he got back!
I say this all the time where was god during that time period. In the Bible in the old testament god was all around even spoke to his prophets but in slavery quiet as a mouse
@@evelynannettegordon3697 Yall can't blame God for what humans do. God don't control evil. I am a descendant of slaves. If it wasn't for the suffering my people, I wouldn't been born in one of the best countries in the world. That is the testament of God's work. God is good. Amen.
@@evelynannettegordon3697i sincerely don't believe in Christianity simply because it was forced in our ancestors. My ppl worshipped a different religion. Our god was named gikuyu and his wife was mumbi.
@@rubywarner34 We must remember, Though the Prophets of the Old Testament, and the Apostles of the New Testament, spoke for God-they were fallible men who's stories weren't put to paper until many centuries after they passed. Paul wasn't writing his letters untill 300 (200?) years after the last Apostle died. That means no matter the good intentions of those who put it all on paper, they were still human and could corrupt the words and deeds of God with their own biases in the recollection.
@@evelynannettegordon3697God’s punishment on His people for straying away from Him just like with Moses and Israel in Egypt . In the Bible it also says that as humanity strayed further away from the creator, He promised that His Spirit would no longer dwell with us. The privilege of being able to communicate with Him face to face was revoked. Now we seek His face through the savior, Yeshua . Yeshua is the mediator between humanity and The Most High . He is also the last sacrifice for our sins. Through his blood we are redeemed. Just like God forced pharaoh to let His People go, Caucasians were forced to let us go. The issue is we as a people keep straying from Him & His commandments. He is a good God…a just God. When we stray , we unknowingly give Satan legal right to put us in bondage.
Great movie & the actors were superb! It was hard being a slave, but sometimes, harder being biracial, in Queen’s case. Thank you for allowing us to see this again after all these years.
What is interesting is Queen would brag about her pappy being in the war all the time but her pappy only acknowledged he was her father at his own wedding to his friend Smdh !
😢How strange life is: she's too white to be black, too black to be white, yet her pure night velvet is so very wanted by them! Why? And what a wicked plot too!😢
It's not only just a wicked plot. It's based on a true story. Queen is the grandma of the author. Some events may have been fictionalised but the overall story is true.
This is the true story of Alex Haley's grandmother, Queen. He remembered how traumatized she had been in her life. When she was old she still could Hear the sounds of dogs barking at her. Not the complete story is told in that miniseries. Her life was even worse. It's not a plot. It's someone's true life.
I think about Amanda America Dixon. Her father David never married. Amanda knew him as her father. She was always free but her mother remained a slave until the emancipation. Her mother named Julia. Amanda inherited her father's land worth five hundred thousand dollars.
Queen makes really bad decisions over and over again due to pride, not thinking about the consequences, and blabbing the first thing that pops into her head. Given how difficult things were for slaves and free men alike, she makes her life (and the lives of her black family and friends) harder than it needs to be.
You’re right but you have to realize she was raise in the big house so in her mind she was high and mighty being raise by her massa aka pappy unlike the other slaves
@@Abena04there's no way queen could've stayed there . Miss lizzy and queen didn't get along at all. Plus lizzy wanted queen gone. Also the white people around there would've given queen and the family trouble.
Black is absolutely 💯 beautiful and stunning. Blackwomen are exotic to look at. We fail to realise our stunning beauty, and are treat to............ And ............hence, that is why we................
Queen Haley and I share the same birthday! Loved this movie as a kid, and still love it now!! When she is talking to her mother in her grave it breaks my heart. I suggest you read the book which is hard to find (try online), which is more detailed. This tells you who truly suffered under slavery, and racism. Not the brats of today who take everything for granted. Halle Berry has the most rarest, and amazing beauty on this earth!
Alex Haley was an AMAZING writer. This is HISTORY and as sad as it is this is VERY TRUE!!! Like she said in the movie 🍿 “Just a drop of BLACK BLOOD 🩸” a DROP IS TO MUCH!! Every time I watch this movie 🍿 it’s like I’m watching it for the first time🎉 THANK YOU ALEX HALEY & RUclips!!!🙏🏽 WHAT A GRREAT MOVIE👍🏽👍🏽
James could've at least given her some money dang. N I'm so glad u posted these thank you!!!! This whole thing has been mind blowing. People should be able to see it everywhere
Just finished watching the first part of this epic Alex Hailey mini series completing his family history line. As I saw Roots about his Father's side if the family when it originally aired in the 1970's, I am in amazement that I missed Queen 👑, about his Mother's side if the family history,but I am TOTALLY entranced by it, as it us VERY poignant n core shaking to be confronted with the Civil War and it's barbarism!!! Thanks for posting❤
@PrettynBetween It's sad how lost our youth are today. No sense of direction or purpose. Not all, but most of them are. We wonder why God was so angry at us to have us in slavery. Still worshipping the wrong things.
Ummm Alex Haley was the face of roots and this story. A white man wrote roots and I’m not sure who came up with this fictional story but we have way too much tech and educational sources / internet to know this by now… especially if you’re black. 😐 Beautiful story and movie but it is not a true story. And Alex Hailey is a liar. I own this movie and still love watching it but I searched for the truth as a child.. and found it.
I absolutely love it this movie queen Alex Haley is an extraordinary writer and I haven’t seen this movie in a long time. Thanks for putting it on RUclips.😊
Me too! I think sometimes how I was mistreated, and talked about like a dog, by other Black people just because I was bi-racial. This was years before being bi-racial is acceptable like it is today, but the racism came the most from other Black kids and they learned that from their family. I can relate to Queen when she said she was Black, and nobody would help her. It took me a long time to learn not be afraid of other Black people because of the mistreatment. My mom was a full-blooded Native American who was raised on our reservation, so she was naive on a lot of things about life off the reservation. Especially when she had 4 kids who were half Black. She could only teach me so much about dealing with others when it comes to racism. We lived in a Texas city that was small-minded at the time when it comes to race relations. As much as a lot of the Black kids talked about me daily, I couldn’t make it through the day without hearing someone had ‘Indian’ in them. I hear it so much I automatically tune those claims out. I now realize that it was all jealousy from those people because I came from the direct blood of someone who is, and the rest of our tribe. All those experiences made me stronger, learn to sympathize with others, realize not all Black people are not the same, and just be proud of who I am. I agree people do want to put someone in a box when it comes to being bi-racial. Black people want you to be Black, and whatever other culture we are made of wants you to act just like them. Society wants to make you choose, and it gets hard just trying to be yourself….
@@calba24 I live in Cypress and I know where Texas City is. I was raised by my Mexican family and they would send me to my black grandmas house to try to encourage me to be around them because I obviously look more black than Spanish.
I was reading your about for your channel and who ever said pretty girls cant express their traumas is just crazy everyone should be able to express their trauma and talk about it share their experiences thats the only way to heal . Shouldn't matter if ya pretty or not we qll deserve the right to share our trauma ❤ & prayers 🙏
I agree but people are always shaming us for Having traumas and expressing them. We always get hit with negative stereotypes if we do. Your right we all deserve the right to express ourselves ❤️
That's the biggest lie that was ever told. We all are not God's people. If that was so black people would have reparations in 2024 by now. So kill the garbage talk.
Halle berry did a great job and deserves an award for this movie. But i dont think she ever did. And its sad how because of slavery and systematic racism amd colorism it was alot of self hate and hate for one another when all hues are beautiful but the oppressors set it up that way wnd and to this very day black people wre etill divided. Now we do it to each other.
I agree. She definitely should have won an awards for this one definitely ‼️ and it’s so unfortunate that the oppressors set up this cruel system that just seems to get worse not better 😞
The introduction of this video the narrator said that Alex Haley told this story "the way he wanted it told " so im interested in the truth aa it actually happened !
Its sad cause she brought a lot of the trouble on herself....she just wouldnt be polite and create problems where there was none !! No wonder things got worse cause she was carrying a lot of bitterness !!
roots was a zillion time a better book for sure . I mean he did have the events and a repsectable understanding of the reality of those times. The dialogue and some of the events and personalities and such he had to speculate but it was an all time great book.
I don’t think it is feasible to believe that Queen lived in a brothel but didn’t work as “one of the girls” Haley probably rewrote her historical events due to shame.😮
You knew better. The slaves who came over on those ships were blue-black with very exaggerated facial features and very coiled hair. Raping of slave women by slave owners was an everyday occurrence on the plantations. Unfortunately, it was an expected and accepted part of slavery. Those ungodly unions produced slave children who varied in complexion, hair, and facial features. That white blood continues to flow through the veins of their descendants. Even indigenous Africans realize these facts.
shrugs...she looks significantly mixed African and European to me just like I am btw.....the average African American is around one quarter European with around 1/3 of African American men having European Y Chromosomes Most of the European ancestry in African Americans came from European American men during the slavery period
From part 1 to two , She has a tought life, till the end at that time , with white people ..likely so real even Christian have wrong faith still judged her and baby..let it be ..be gone and gone ! Good and heavy heart..hot and cold film thank you.
up. "Stove black" is a polish or paint that you put on wood burning stoves. It can be heated really hot and will look nice and help keep the stove from rusting.
I'm sorry but as a panther kid my mom being a black panther my dad being a black panther this does not sit well with me even in 2024 it did not aged at all
Isn’t she..everyone tried to tell her that she wouldn’t be accepted like that..and she bucked against it. No cap but so many people tried to warn her. And in those days, Queen wouldn’t have been the only child of the plantation who was fair skinned. I’m so mad at her for acting like telling him she wasn’t white like it was going to stop anything. White women get raped too. She act like she didn’t know that white men didn’t respect or look at black women as if they weren’t women. Especially, after her grandfather died from his assault trying to protect HER. His words, “ don’t tell them, don’t you ever tell them”! So she knew then. Passing for white make people even madder
That's the erroneous tragedy😢 ...very hard to deprogramme the mind of centuries of biased information ...everyone suffers . 'Whites' nd all...😢 Illusions of superiority or inferiority is a delusion....how to come out of it?
I ask what year this was, never mind the baby She had Simon,tells me this picture is old, I am surprised I never seen this, being a caregiver, and never being home I never got to watch T.V.,so I still wonder what year this was, because then I would know exactly what I was doing,and how busy I was.
Plus, remember Queen is a LOVE ❤️ CHILD. SHE WAS CONCEIVED IN LOVE ❤️. THIS IS WHERE THE HATRED IS COMING FROM. IT WAS ONLY BECAUSE OF THE TIME PERIOD IN HISTORY- WHY HER FATHER TREATED HER AS ................. HIS FULL WHITE DAUGHTER WAS'T CONCEIVED IN LOVE ❤️. She is only put first, as her skin colour is paler than Queen.
You can click on the "gear" icon on the upper right corner. Then choose captions, then auto translate, then choose Spanish subtitles. It's a sad miniseries and a fictionalised account of a true story - grandma of the author Alex Haley.
Her own pappy ain’t give her no money just in case ! Her grandma was the only one who did !
It was sad he loved her Mother but was a coward to show and make his miserable Wife respect and treat Queen like a human.
It pisses me off James never showed Queen the slightest of affection even in private. He loved Easter but yet could
not show that love towards his daughter. I know the times were different but everyone knew he was the father.
YES YOU ARE RIGHT FAM 💯
He did not love Easter. He lusted after her, desired her, enjoyed possessing her…. None of those things are love.
Was very common for the times. Such a messed up dynamic
Even though slaves were free nothing change because there weren’t any laws that protected formal slaves to be safe . So slavery was still being practiced just done on the down low
A Tragic life... Poor queen & her mum...they were loved but in a shame based , rejected , never good enough way ...toxic...😢💔
They weren’t loved they were used. They had no choice in how they were used. The word LOVE was used as a means of manipulation.
@@cognitivedissonancechristi516In those days, I would have to agree with you. They only looked out for their own preservation. And when it came to Queen and her mother. They were only looked at as slaves, period.
Society back then didn't let you openly love someone of another race in the USA. I am glad that is changing.
If they were loved he would have freed them! Except he went to war to keep them as his property! Lost his fortune to keep them captive! Like an animal! Nope that’s not love at all! He walked right past her when he got back!
@@funlityoung you are quite right..
Thanks For Putting This On RUclips, Haven't Seen This In A Long Time,Once Again Thanks 👍
Halle Berry has a way of making you feel as though she lived in that era.
I wonder how black people kept their religious faith after how badly they were treated and being burned alive. That is impressive to me.

Hmmm, makes me wish Queen had been told she was an orphaned cousin and adopted by the family.
A true story. How many young innocent girls has had their babies stolen, when they had no one to turn to?
Bible said your children will be sold once you got off a ship and you would long for them
This almost happened to my paternal grandmother she left Alabama and went to st Louis Missouri.
Queen makes really bad decisions over and over again due to pride, not thinking about the consequences, and blabbing the first thing that pops into her head. Given how difficult things were for slaves and free men alike, she makes her life (and the lives of her black family and friends) harder than it needs to be.
Really!
YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE PAIN SHE ENDURED STOP JUDGING YOU DIDN'T WALK IN HER SHOES
She wanted to feel like she was accepted… somewhere, anywhere. Seeking validation when she would never get it.
You’re right but you have to realize she was raise in the big house so in her mind she was high and mighty being raise by her massa aka pappy unlike the other slaves

Them devils stole her baby 😢 I'm disgusted. How she even looked at how Queen was feeding the baby in front of her just gave me predator vibes.
I loved this mini series as a black passing mixed race person navigating life with racial identity issues is a very hard burden to carry.
It sure is
When u are desperate for love you ,you will be abuse mentally,physically and emotionally!
I saw this on tv when it first came out. Long while.
Those two old women are who is crazy.
😂😂 agreed
I belive at times Queen seems ungrateful to the people trying to help her is because she's untrusting.
Black is absolutely 💯 beautiful and stunning. Blackwomen are exotic to look at.
We fail to realise our stunning beauty, and are treat to............
And ............hence, that is why we................
Agreed 🙂❤️
❤ TRUE
Queen makes me think of Sally Hemmings.
Don't no how when queen never had six babies by the supposed president.
@jewel6430 well it was all tragic. I simply meant being mixed. No offensive to either
That’s my family.
Her friend she made at that church was amazing. I surely miss having a friend like that ❤
Fantastic I've never seen this before.
It’s a very good film ❤️
I hope you enjoy it.
Excellent movie Hatred is disgusting

She had Family both races. Who loved her.even if she went through hatred from peers and anyway they loved to give The lord your God Glory.
EVEN 4 of QUEEN own relatives played in this movie. They dont even realise it! I TELL THEM WHEN I GET OLD.LOL!
Oh really? Interesting ❤️
This story does tear me up !!!!
I,ve seen Roots on Alex Hailey fathers side amazing now l,m watching Queen on his mothers side beautiful mini series
Roots was his maternal side
Queen was his paternal side
Please watch this movie is ❤ amazing 🥰
Yes! Halle did her thing in this movie 😁
I don't know if I'd say amazing... but that's your opinion 😊
@PrettynBetween that she did. Probably her best role despite the context
Band Of Angels with Clark Gable had a similar theme as this miniseries. Also, Imitation Of Life both 30s & 50s versions dealt with this issue too.

She was breaking the curse! It’s called standing up for yourself
YouARE so stupid

From part 1 to two , She has a tought life, till the end at that time , with white people ..likely so real even Christian have wrong faith still judged her and baby..let it be ..be gone and gone ! Good and heavy heart..hot and cold film thank you.
They may have released this in america only after book i dont remember it being on tv.oh well watching now in 2024
I don't recall it being televised either. Perhaps I don't recall, but it's unlikely that I would have forgotten such a historical truth of a movie.
It came out in the 90s. It was on CBS..
38:56 times still didn’t change 😢
STILL HASN'T IN SOME PLACES

People are awfully hard on each other . Heard believe that God is in every one
That Christian lady that took care of her and the baby creeps me out.
We in one mess
Im confused. Which side is kunta kinta?
kunta was Alex Haley’s fathers side of the family if I’m not mistaken. And Queen is on his mother side of the family ❤️
@@PrettynBetween thanks for the reply
@@PrettynBetweenI heard it was the opposite
@@PrettynBetweennope kunta is on his mother's side of the family. Queen is on his father's side of the family.
Good movie
Good film
Queen is so ungrateful to everyone who helps her and takes her in.
Isn’t she..everyone tried to tell her that she wouldn’t be accepted like that..and she bucked against it. No cap but so many people tried to warn her. And in those days, Queen wouldn’t have been the only child of the plantation who was fair skinned.
I’m so mad at her for acting like telling him she wasn’t white like it was going to stop anything. White women get raped too. She act like she didn’t know that white men didn’t respect or look at black women as if they weren’t women. Especially, after her grandfather died from his assault trying to protect HER. His words, “ don’t tell them, don’t you ever tell them”! So she knew then. Passing for white make people even madder
@@tericarroll9736 what do you know about that?
@@dolinaj1lol according to the movie , as much as you do.
Those two women gave me the biggest ick! I hated that she let them change his name to Abner 🙄 and the breastfeeding scene was so cringe.
Wen told all ones life White is 👍 Black isn't👎one believes That
😞
That's the erroneous tragedy😢 ...very hard to deprogramme the mind of centuries of biased information ...everyone suffers . 'Whites' nd all...😢
Illusions of superiority or inferiority is a delusion....how to come out of it?
I am physically white in appearance, but when I took a DNA test, I found out that I have African blood. We are all a little black.
@@albywhiteladywrong lol
So so sad. All lies from the pit of hell. When humans are just humans. One heart, one brain, one life ❤️
I ask what year this was, never mind the baby She had Simon,tells me this picture is old, I am surprised I never seen this, being a caregiver, and never being home I never got to watch T.V.,so I still wonder what year this was, because then I would know exactly what I was doing,and how busy I was.
It came out in 1993 . I was one year old 😂😂 but yes! This movie was incredible 😁💕
16:09 that I got a right to a little bit of love hits hard 😢❤❤
Plus, remember Queen is a LOVE ❤️ CHILD.
SHE WAS CONCEIVED IN LOVE ❤️.
THIS IS WHERE THE HATRED IS COMING FROM.
IT WAS ONLY BECAUSE OF THE TIME PERIOD IN HISTORY- WHY HER FATHER TREATED HER AS .................
HIS FULL WHITE DAUGHTER WAS'T CONCEIVED IN LOVE ❤️.
She is only put first, as her skin colour is paler than Queen.
She was put first because she was pure white period. Because of their shifty laws he could do nothing for Queen
Conceived from
Fetish
Halle Berry was the worst acting slave ever
😭😭😭😭😭
😢

Por favor traducir al español. Y. Pongan. La. Primera parte gracias
You can click on the "gear" icon on the upper right corner. Then choose captions, then auto translate, then choose Spanish subtitles. It's a sad miniseries and a fictionalised account of a true story - grandma of the author Alex Haley.
