BOB MARLEY BIrthday is today


Recommended Posts

He made some good music. ... some ...

I never could embrace his leaf smoking cultural habits. 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.

Bob Marley did good with everything but that one thing.

Sometimes we have to peel a layer in order to enjoy the fruit. 

 

Some of the most brilliant, gifted and/or talented people have had their flaws while making positive contributions to humanity.  

 

From past to present, across groups of people and continents, smoking plants seems to have been a cultural thing.😎
