I definitely recommend the TV series and I am sure the book is even better. I believe a lot of lessons can be learnt from reading about Black history in North America. The key lessons from Roots for me were:
- Never blame or collectively punish the entire community for the action of a section of that community.
- Its good to know where you came from or your ancestors came from. It can make you ponder, reflect and compare your current state with theirs or know why you are where you are.
- Never think that you are better then someone else or are superior to another based on race or anything else.
- Do not label people based on rumors or based on what you have heard from other people ( i.e. All Chinese are dirty, All Arabs are hot headed, All South Asians have bad tajweed, All auntees want you married, etc)

All auntees do want everyone married. I ask you, what would the world be like without war? what would the world be like without discrimination? and then the most important question! what would the world be like without the AUNTEES AND dont say no tasty FOOD!
I have just been to Pakistan. Enough said.
Auntees want to take over the world.
