Kunta's choice?


When Kunta was caught he was offered the choice of losing half his foot or a groin injury of some kind. He chose his foot, so would I. What was the other choice?

reply

Castration. Not a hard choice.

reply

If he had chose castration, this story would never have been told. There would have been no Kizzy, no Chicken George, no Tom the blacksmith, no Cynthia Palmer, no Bertha, and NO Alex Haley. So Kunta chose the lesser of 2 evils.

reply

NO Alex Haley.


You have to remember Haley plagiarized the story and fictionalized his so-called family history. So, there would've been no loss there.

reply

"Not 'a hard' choice."

Heh heh.

Castration. Not a hard choice.


You walk a lot more than you have sex. If he had chosen castration, he might have been able to continue running. Just saying.

Your a *beep* fool, the man made the right choice, no sane person would say "oh yes take my balls instead of my foot", the choice was no choice at all and Kunta's story would be over if he lost his manhood. Better a cripple who can create a family then a eunuch who's life is practically over.

That scene showed how stupid the slave-catchers were, as pointed in another scene after. They "devalued" him. And it wasn't their right to do so anyway.
