You are the racist

[@R.Q.C.]

You can tell she was upset she didn’t get the reaction she wanted. Responding to aggression with calmness always gives you the edge and makes you more adult than the other person every single time.

It’s crazy that woman was mad at a man for spreading a message of peace and unity it just shows not everyone wants that peace smh 🤦‍♂️

[@edenharry2009]

The problem is when you a Blackman that's gathering the world with unity and love, you become a target. Bob Marley was a powerful force and they couldn't handle that.

She just wanted to poke him and cause a negative reaction out of him, of course she did this unconsciously, like a machine. But Bob, knowing more about himself than she does, didn't bite and that is the real quality here.

[@dagmaraelfman576]

I heard that someone once said (admiringly) that Bob was a nightmare to interview as he never got annoyed with or sidetracked by people who tried to sensationlise his answers or tried to draw him into political arguments , he just stayed calm and carried on with whatever he wanted to say, like he did here. One of the reasons he was such a wonderful man ❤

[@FlashxSounds]

Not quite true even tho he was very patient, when he got annoyed with interviewers his patwah got thicker and thicker😂😂 It was mentioned in the "Marley" Documentary/Movie

[@redbaron1001]

What an absolute privilege it must be to be able to have an interview with a man like Bob Marley. He has shown here what a genuine and decent person he is. And no matter what anyone thinks of him or his religious views, I think he's a perfect role model for billions of people in this world. Because if more people were like him, we'd have much fewer problems going on. RIP Bob Marley ❤.

Well said.

[@MichaelZed789]

Rastas being stereotyped as drug dealers was probably a relevant subject. But to think everyone from Jamaica is a dealer is straight prejudice/ignorant. It's important to not confuse racism with prejudice. Prejudiced ignorant people don't know they're dumb, most racist people do.

[@AS-wj1du]

I'm Jamaican and funnily enough the pharmaceutical companies are the actual drug dealers. Typical of some of that race.

[@teresabarbosa316]

Rastas consume cannabis, catholic priests consume whine. It’s so evident she didn’t even try to learn about Rastafarianism or the history of the islands. Because you know, journalist.

How was she racist? 🙄 she didnt once mention colour or race. Instead she was having a dig at his beliefs, and his rasta look.. racism wasnt mentioned at all. 🤷‍♂️

[@Rahlew510]

She specifically mentioned his rasta look. That, by definition, is racist. We can delve into whether she meant it or not as such, but that comment, on its face, is racist. Why? The statement was discriminatory toward a person or persons of a particular ethnic group.

[@mattparr3038]

​@@Rahlew510 Rasta is a following a religion, its not unique to any particular race.. white people can be rastas, Asian etc.. so nah wasn't racist at all. People tend to call everything racist now days.

[@Rahlew510]

​@mattparr3038 It originated among impoverished and socially disenfranchised Afro-Jamaicans in the 30's, player. The statement had racist connotations. You can very well tell me how it was intended, and you may not be wrong. However, you cannot tell anyone how it was received. If nothing else, she was ignorant of their culture.

[@mattparr3038]

@@Rahlew510 sure she was ignorant. 🙄 but based on the interview alone, there was no racism but instead critiquing rasta and the look. Neither you or I will ever know what she truely meant, but again based on the interview it wasn't racist. Of course people can take it that way if they like, doesn't make it the case.

I don’t think she was racist and I don’t think he took it as such either…. I think he realized her to be a woman who (like many PEOPLE whether White, BLACK or any other) didn’t understand/misperceived Rastafarian ways and he was there to answer the questions. Even with some of the comments about appearance…. the wearing of [dread]locs, observing certain dietary restrictions and partaking of cannabis were things that were criticized by even Black/African American people. When viewing things of the past, we often take on a present disdain for them and only examine through our current experience.
