It's not similar at all. Yellowman has light skin but not the type of light skin that would confer privilege on him. He is an albino with african features which means he would be discriminated by white people who see him as Black, and by some ignorant Blacks who see him as a "dundas" and have superstitious ideas about albinos. So it's not really a good comparison. If you want to draw a comparison in the music world, Junior Gong would be a better example. Someone who is obviously not white, and obviously has African ancestry, and is a sincere Rasta as far as one could judge from his lyrics and so on, but who phenotypically looks closer to white than black (and of course, who was born into a family that had plenty money by the time he was born- another factor). Junior Gong is a great artiste to me, I love his lyrics too cos they are nice and hard just like his daddy would have liked them. But I would question if he was put up as the head representative of Rastafari people in Jamaica. The majority of Rastafari in Jamaica are still Black-skinned people from ghetto areas, so I would question a light-skinned person from uptown representing them, no matter how close contact he is in with Black people or with the ghetto. If Junior Gong is as conscious as his lyrics indicate, I would think that he himself would question this, if he was being put up as a leader or representative of Rastafari people in JA.
