Bob Marley's Father

****** wow im surprised that so many people didnt know his father was white. but it doesnt even matter, because bob marley stood for one love, and for all of the people debating on race should just listen to his music and appreciate WHAT HE STOOD FOR. all this hate and discrimination is what bob marley hated

"Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Me say war"

-Robert Nesta Marley

Bob Marley was 1/2 Jewish.His Marley side of the family are white,Jewish immigrants from Syria via England to Jamaica.His mum Cedelia is Black African-Jamaican. His cousin Heather Marley researched the family's geneology.She says-"Per what I was told by my mother, grandmother & uncle,the Marleys were Syrian Jews that migrated from the Middle East to England & then to Jamaica; My father's father (My grandpa) and Bob Marley's father are brothers'.This is confirmed by Heather's father George Marley

@Sagitarius011 Rastafari is not a religion but a livity. I and I way of life.White man is not considered evil. Evil is considered evil. Iyabinghi brings death to all oppressors black and white. Bob identified as african but didn't hate other races. He stated that his fight was not against flesh and blood but spiritual wickedness. I and I have 4 children and one queen. Don't believe anti rasta rumors.There are rasa in Japan, New Zealand, Poland, Morocco,etc.No discrimination, Jah seh come. Irie.

@tatu8663 EXACTLY. All of a sudden when he is famous and an international icon, they want to talk about "family" and want to bring up his white heritage. PLEASE!!!
