I am with Peter Tosh’s view on this, and I don't have to imagine anything to feed anyone's illusion.
Bob Marley was marketed with his image so we don’t have to imagine anything. I am also not going into any debate about who was the better artist, as people should have different views on this. I certainly do not share the taste of the majority of White/fair-skinned people.
As has been proven, some whites get opposite messages from Selassie’s speeches, and I would suggest Bob Marley’s music as well, than what dark-skinned Blacks will get.
I am certainly not joining with any white or fair-skinned one to dismiss Peter Tosh’s views on THIS matter. Peter Tosh’s views line up with history.
