Soo koob maqaalka:  Mid ka mid ah dhacdooyinkii ugu waaweynaa abid ee telefishanka ayaa dib loogu qaabeeyey dhagaystayaal cusub. "Roots", taxanaha sheekooyinka ee ku saabsan addoon Afrikaan Mareykan ah iyo caruurtiisa, ayaa waxaa daawaday in ka badan 100 milyan oo daawadayaal ah sanadii 1977kii. Hadaba A&E ayaa dib u habeyn ku sameyneysa taxanahan yar yar, si loogu sii daayo 2016. A&E, Lifetime iyo Taariikhda (oo horey u ahaan jirtay History Channel) ayaa ku dhawaaqay Khamiistii in saddexda shabakadood ay isku mar daabici doonaan dib u sameynta sheekada Kunta Kinte, oo ah Afrikaan la qabtay, loo diray Ameerika oo loo iibiyay addoonsi si uu uga shaqeeyo beerta Virginia. LeVar Burton, oo soo bandhigay Kinte asalka ah, wuxuu soo saari doonaa shirkadda cusub ee taxanaha cusub. War saxaafadeed ayaa ku tilmaamay nooca cusub inuu yahay "asal" iyo "cusub" wuxuuna ka soo qaadan doonaa wax badan oo ka mid ah sheekada caadiga ah ee Alex Haley, "Roots: Saga of an American Family". Soo-saareyaashu waxay la tashan doonaan aqoonyahanno ku xeel dheer taariikhda Afrikaanka iyo Afrikaanka-Mareykanka si loo kordhiyo xaqiiqada. "Waan ku faraxsanahay inaan soo bandhigno sheekadan taageerayaasha asalka ah, iyo sidoo kale jiil cusub oo la kulmi doona sheekadan xoogga leh ee xiisaha leh markii ugu horeysay", ayuu yiri Dirk Hoogstra, madaxweyne ku xigeenka fulinta iyo maareeyaha guud ee taariikhda. "Dhageystayaashu waxay mar kale dareemi doonaan saameynta ruuxa adag ee Kunta Kinte". Soo saaraha fulinta Mark Wolper, oo ah wiilka soo saaraha asalka ah ee David L.

Sidii Kunta Kinte uu ula halgamay in uu sheekadiisa usoo sheego mar kale iyo mar kale, waa in aan annaguna sidaas oo kale yeelnaa". "Roots" oo dib loo hagaajiyay ayaa la kulmi doona jiil cusub oo daawadayaal ah kuwaas oo arkay Barack Obama oo taariikhda ka dhigaya madaxweynihii ugu horreeyay ee Afrikaan-Mareykan ah iyo "12 Years a Slave" oo ku guuleystey Oscar ee Filimka ugu Fiican, laakiin sidoo kale rabshado jinsiyadeed oo baahsan oo ku saabsan daaweynta booliska ee dadka madow ee looga shakisan yahay magaalooyin badan oo Mareykanka ah. "Xirfadeyda waxay ku bilaabatay 'Roots' waana ku faraxsanahay inaan qayb ka noqdo la qabsiga cusub", ayuu yiri Burton.
