Which became propagandized as being somehow a Jamaican normal behaviour. Which. At that TIME it was not. I respected his position as a spearhead for the black people. I respected his outright denouncement of the racial negativity. But thanks to propaganda the documentaries that focus on those aspects are few and far apart. Instead we have generations of leaf inhalers who have been convinced they are contributing to the black experience by being high. Like that is somehow a black thing.
