Smoke all the weed you want Ed, but he(Desmond) was speaking of the plight of the Jewish people, as some are persicuted just by the colour of their skin, they dealt with this hatred every day as a people(or as a faith if not born Jewish) and he still said "sing with a happy heart". Joy comes not from the artificial happiness and short-lived fun from dope, but knowing that God loves us & if God is for us, who can be against us. Have fun, enjoy life & love your brother, hate not & be free-JW
I say that I will not tolerate anti-semitism, from you godless bastards. I see my brothers & sisters from Israel struggle & I am with them all. The posts that I commented on means that I will not let this slandering continue. Shame on you. I hate you not. Our Heavenly Father says bless those that persicute you, this I will do, no jihad. The Lord God Jehova says "Turn the other cheek" This I have done, and I love you no less. My bretheren, be free with love & do not be bound by hate. Shalom
@jarwick u do know that israel is an illegal state it says in the torah that jews should not have a state until the return of the messiah so israel by religious scriptures shouldnt exist and they aren't jews over there they are zionists an nationalistic movement started in the 30's
to know more truths about the hebrew israelites(12tribes of jacob see site Hebrewisraelitesdotorg. p.s, the torah/bible is not a religious book its a black history book, i know for some the truth hurts and may cause offense, but to the wise and obedient its a light to his/her feet.shalom
@jarwick I meant that because this song was successful, too many artists would put out some insincere copy of it to sound like reggae and not be soulful and not a true "protest" song, not that it defines reggae. I'm speaking of that era only. Just look @ the 80's & all the cookie cutter rock bands that sprang up to "ride the wave" I am just trying to inform & not insult in case you were not born then. I' ve made some mad & at times I misspoke, for that I'm sorry, but my intent was good. Love-JW
Show me a Black who has the stamina to getr up at six in the morning and do a fair days work, And i dont mean Football or Basketball . I mean real Work.
Its a joke . I wonder if there is even ONE african american in the united states who knows how to operate a Shovel or a Sledgehammer.
Fucking bunch of crying LAZY baboons. They are a havenot canker sore on AMERICAS ass.
Good song , Came out long before African Americans became a Racist Army of baboons who hate anybody who speaks out and tells the world that they have become a race of entitled OBESE welfare bums .
