Toronto City Hall is set to honor the reggae King, Bob Marley, this year once again, by turning the LED lights to red, gold and green (it is always a challenge to get the right sequencing of the colors, but in the end, I'm still very proud)
Why?
The colors of RasTafari have penetrated to the core of the colonial culture that has abused its people since the inception of the doctrine by Leonard Percival Howell and others, pointing to that black King from the east, Haile Selassie l, as a black God
No, I'm not arguing theology or religion, I'm framing a life lived by many, who needed a path away from the abusive religions used to dominate African minds
A black God
His Majesty showed an honorable truth to the world
Bob believed that the powers of RasTafari could bring the love of humanity to politicians Manley and Seaga, to stop the alleged CIA infiltration to the JA governments, both PNP as well as JLP and stop the blood shed, that is still ongoing today
What many are unaware of, is that at street level, all a de bad man dem were willing to accept peace, and nuff waring factions actually met up to stop the violence to Jamaican people
The peace worked
And then it didn't
And the blood letting continues today mostly to one "class" of Jamaicans
The Peace Concert
RasTafari
Bob's actions were clearly about peace and true love of humanity
It is an honor to witness the colors by City Hall as they honor one of RasTafari greatest souljahs
Walk with your drum (if it nuh too cold. It's always freezing cold on that day). If not, we will chant a few tunes together
