Ummm, Sublime is great but their version of this song fucking sucks compared to THIS.

@ImplementDestruction Wow man, just because someone mentions allah doesn't mean they're an extremist. reggae is all about the world coming together without hate. Sure there's anger but no hate man. I think this bro was just showing love in his own way. Peace, Live up

@subg88 "I dont want no peace, i want justice"-Peter Tosh. i grasp wat you are saying and i agree with alot, my point was that the reggae movement was not made for some lovey dover hippie hug circle movement. The world IS NOT a peaceful place, and it wont ever be completely peaceful, thats the balance of the universe, which is another thing that rasta preaches.

@rehtrem

Fighting against the oppression of your race is not racism. Tosh preached "equality", if you are racially oppressed obviously you are dealing with race and must confront the oppressor. Any racially oppressed person who fights his oppression would be construed a racist, because you have to unite your own people to fight it. Had he been in the superior position it would be racist, because it would not be necessary for his people's survival, rather be the oppressor himself.

@rehtrem

Their message ultimately was about the world coming together...but like they said "We Africans will fight, we find it necessary" but also "let righteousness cover the earth." How can righteousness cover the earth without the result being the people coming together? They advocate fighting the system; the people have to come together in righteousness for that to be of any use. Even if you defeat the system, without righteousness another system of man against man would result.

@slipyourhips Jah Bless brother

@rehtrem Good point of course, I'm 39 and have been listening to Reggae in all forms since I was 13. I'm well aware of the struggle and fight it's message mainly salutes. And a lot is about sex, violence, oppression. Pretty clear in the lyrics that Tosh mostly wrote. May I quote Bob? "We don't need no more trouble, what we need is love, love sweet love" Jah bless

@slipyourhips yes we should transcend origin and grow. and its nice of u too try to use that argument. but you were stating peter tosh wasnt an extremist and that reggae is all about the world coming together, both of which are incorrect. im sure we have the same view on the fact the world should grow with love, but its funny how many people think reggae is this feel good world peace movement, when its not.

[slipyourhips]

@rehtrem movement transcends origin...grow

[rehtrem]

@slipyourhips peter tosh beleived in hate, violence, being a major part of the world. and he himself was racist. The only thing he really fought for was true justice and his own peoples spiritual movement. reggae is about the spiritual movement of peoples of african decent, most rastafarri see the white man as being devil for enslaving there people and isolating them from god
