Wait, wasn't Roots proven to be entirely made up?

HA! That's like watching Roadrunner cartoons to understand gravity.

Roots portrays white people stealing black people from Africa to use as slaves, but the slaves were actually sold to them by their own people. Not sure about other inaccuracies, but sounds like that's lead to a lot of hatred and resentment towards whites.
