Man kidnaps woman and forces her to watch nine-hour slavery mini-series Roots to 'understand her racism'

A man allegedly kidnapped a woman and forced her to watch 1977 slavery mini-series Roots to "understand her racisim". 

Cedar Rapids Police Department in Iowa arrested 52-year-old Robert Noye, an African American, on Monday on charges of first-degree harassment and false imprisonment. 

A complaint stated he allegedly forced the woman to sit with him at a local residence to watch the mini-series so she could "better understand her racism". 

When the woman attempted to leave, Noye told her to "remain seated and watch the movie with him or he would kill her and spread her body parts across Interstate 380 on the way to Chicago", according to the Gazette.
