'Roots' Was a Racist Attack on White People
THIS IS going to be a harsher co. lumn than I ordinarily care to write, but the whole "Roots" phenomenon deserves some blunt comment.
Tens of millions of Americans sat through the eight TV episodes of
"Roots" and apparently did not understand that they themselves were being attacked both directly and unjustifiably. This fact is at once alarming and profoundly depressing.
The attack made by "Roots,
"more-
over, was deeply racist, practically all of the whites being unattractive louts, practically all of the blacks nature's noblemen.
This is the sort of thing many of the commentators are calling
mythic
truth.
That is, people with white
skins are, morally speaking, unattractive louts. As Susan Sontag once put it, whites are the cancer of the human race.
"Roots" was just as blunt.
Is it possible that the white audience for "Roots" was unaware that it was being assaulted?
If so, then perhaps that audience really does deserve to be ripped off, picked clean - for that is what Roots" is really all about.
"Roots"
does not have much to do with histo-ry, which is scarcely present at all in the series, but with concrete political claims in the present.
The message comes through loud and clear, viz., because of the slavery experience in the past, contemporary
Jeffrey
Hart
blacks have special valid claims on contemporary whites. Contemporary whites.
indeed, should feel guilty in
connection with blacks. now awarded
"victim
status"
by
Alex
Haley.
"Roots" means to offer blacks a mor. al blank check, figures to be filled in at leisure: quotas in jobs and colleges, privileged access to the federal kitty. favorable court decisions on highly disputed matters, and so forth. An audience willing to ooh and aah over
"Roots" is not about to resist very strongly when the political rip-offs arrive.
To achieve its propagandistic goals.
"Roots" makes a mish-mash of histo•
гу.
In
historical
fact, marauding
bands of whites did not go into the African bus…

image of a partial page from the novel Southern Man by Greg Iles 

"I watched in disbelief as businessmen voted for a repeat bankrupt, laborers for a boss infamous for stiffing his workers, evangelicals for a serial adulterer, women for an admitted sexual assaulter, patriots for a draft dodger who would sell his country's secrets for trivial gain, educated men for an ignoramus.  But they did so with fierce gladness in their hearts. Because what their chosen one had done was open Pandora's Box---yes, the old one, filled with ancient calamities of race hatred and rage and cruelty and bloodlust and infinite greed--- and hell them that these things were the remedy for all their grievances, that all their anger was justified, and most important: None of what ailed them was their own fault, or ever had been.
