"Negro Slave"[edit]

I've removed this reference from the cast. I suppose there is an argument for the word Negro in historical shows cast list where they're referred to as that on the show. I won't argue this because I don't know Wikipedia's precedents. But in this particular case the word 'Negro' isn't used on the show at all. The word of the time according to the show is, 'blackamoor' slaves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.152.241.228 (talk) 19:08, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

They are referred to as negroes in the opening seconds of the last episode. REVUpminster (talk) 19:52, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do they? Must have missed that? I still think it's not correct usage for Wikipedia. The word Negro is considered derogatory. I would never expect it in a Wikipedia article unless the person putting it there meant it to be so. The exception I could imagine would be where it is very relevant to the show. Hence if were to be on the article for the "Roots" TV series, I could understand it being there as the word is a big part of that show. For this show I could imagine "Blackamoor" having an argument for being justifiable as it was by far the word used in the show. Why would Negro be the word in this article? Because it is the term WE are used to in historic race relations? If it's about us then we shouldn't be using a loaded term at all. If it's being justified by the context of the show, use the term in the show that is used by far the most. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.152.241.228 (talk) 23:09, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Season's end[edit]

Will the third season of this one end with the 1622 Jamestown Massacre, as a way of disposing of many of the characters? Or will the infamous massacre be mentioned at all in the series? 195.67.149.162 (talk) 09:40, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Errors[edit]

I am logging errors while I decide whether any of this is noteworthy. In Episode 1:4, when the exposition heads upriver to return Chacrow, the cinematographer/editor focuses on trees submerged in a river. Such submersion is only created by construction of downstream dams, a product of 20th century engineering. In Episode 1:5, Farlow uses the term "Running Amok" when talking to the Marshall Redwick. The earliest known use of such a phrase was not until 150 years later (see Wikipedia article). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cglenn3932 (talk • contribs) 10:27, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
