Re: colour in music industry
In Response To: colour in music industry ()

Adam
Whether Bob has the best voice is a matter of opinion. You make it seem as if it is a fact that he had the best voice. I do agree that whether Marley was mixed or not has no bearing on his message. He was speaking for the poor and afflicted of the earth. But it is common knowledge that in follywood, and show business in general, the lighter you are, the righter you are. Just look at rap videos. Most of the women in the videos are either white, latina, mixed, or light shaded. They are closer to the image of beauty perpetuated by Babylon.

Tosh was a dark skinned revolutionary who had no problem speaking his mind. A definite turn off to the establishment. He was very talented in his own right. It is said that he is the one who taught Bob how to play the guitar. I dont know who you are used to talking with but you come across as if you are an authority on Rastafari and what you say is law. That is just my humble opinion.

Peace
