I love this song! Strong message, strong people, and strong history. I'm not black, I'm actually Polynesian but I got much respect. We Polynesians also have our own story of slavery and struggles. I guess that's why a lot of us love reggae music.
from beginning there was not such thing as africa. the whole continent was Ethiopia. when the oprressors came from europa they split op the continent, and just simply draw borders, what causes the many tribal wars
I can never be too caught up in myself that I neglect my past and know where my people are coming from and how it was an attempt for us to lose our glorious history and how we were Kings and Queens not parched monkeys. One Blackness never be colour blind, such a shame how Africa is the richest place but has the poorest race, Black my Story||.: KUSHITES :.||
LOVE this song. I always will. Ziggy doesn't even have to try to sound good. He just does naturally. I miss the Melody Makers! The sound they had when they were together was PERFECTION! I love the Marley family. BEAUTIFUL music.
I'm with you. When I first heard it back in 1989, it instantly became my favorite Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers song. It's still one of my favorites, and it remains one of the best songs Ziggy Marley has made. It's a classic for sure. It stands up with the best of what he's done since.
Love you Mama Afrika!! Love you all the Black women of the world! Mothers Sisters Wives and Daughters who have endured history's worst maltreatment and still manage to give love and nourishment- yall are the most beautiful things under the sun to me! Sure we're confused n lost right now- but i know that we will soon awaken, we are rediscoverin our history and our truth will mash down Babylon n take us back home to reclaim the ancestors glory. Love you ancestors the billions who payed the price!
@RudeBoy170 This is from the zandervan bible dictionary, which most bibical scholars use. Ham: 1.The youngest son of Noah born probably about 96 years before the Flood; and one of eight persons to live through Flood. He became the progenitor of the dark races; not the Negros, but the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Libyans and Canaanites
i am native american woman, i am proud of this work from the heart, i am from northern minnesota, he is from a small island, and it makes me proud of my heritage, i am indian , fhe is jamaca....cool......
very spiritiual ,can you hear and feel Robert Marley resonating from within him , The first time I heard it I thought is was Bob and now I still do ,I was looking through all Of Bob music and lyrics tring to find this song since 2000 when I first saw Ashra kwesi lecture he opened with this song it was very appropiate for that awesome lecture .
I read about the Great King Tahara on National Geographic a few days ago. It was pretty indepth. It had a lot of facts which were hidden in the past about the black Kings of Egypt.
Read about Nubian king Piye.Conquerer of ancient Egypt Taharqa. The evidence still stands in modern Sudan and Egypt. Thats my story not hi-story. Jah bless Africa
cette zic casse tout! comme dit Ziggy"Black my story not history"je sais que les cicatrices restent mais on doit s'unir pour pouvoir "chicoter"babylon. cet instant est Africain mec donc Road to zion...
