18 JCnewsmagazine by Jennifer Scism * WCnewsmagazine According to Rita Marley, Bob, her deceased husband had a mission in life and that mission included returning to Africa, like many of his fellow Rastafarians. Bob was born in Jamaica, but as a Rastafarian this was his second home. While most of the world associates Rastafarianism with Jamaica, the actual Rasta movement includes a return of its followers to Africa. As many know Bob was a devout Rastafarian. This religion is a faith that practices many unorthodox traditions. One includes the growing of their hair into dreadlocks. Another tradition is a preaching of the oneness with nature and equality among all humans. Rastafarians smoke Marijuana as a sacrament as well. Ganja as they call it, is their wisdom weed. They use it in a type of meditation to experience the oneness with Jah, their word for the creator. The Rastafarian movement is based around _ the idea that Haile Selassie, or Rasta Fari, King / of Ethiopia was sent directly from God. Marcus | Garvey, a dominant black power leader of Jamaica prophesized that there would be a King crowned in Africa that would be the living God for the Black Race. When Haile Selassie was crowned he donated land to anyone of African ethnicity who lived in the west, so that they may return to their _ home that they had so often been striped from. This was a sign to the Rastas that their living God had been sent to earth. Rastas believe that white Europeans have tricked the world into thinking that the figures that appear in the bible are white when they were in fact black. They believe that whites tricked them into believing that people in the Old Testament like Abraham and Jacob, were white in order to place the darker portion of the world into an inferior position. While they believe in Christ, they do not typically use the Holy Bible that most Christians are used to. They use the Holy Piby instead. Babylon is a term that is used to refer to the state of slavery and oppression upon which whites placed Africans. This term was often incorporated into Bobs music. Rastafarianism places an emphasis on I-tal food. This is their term for food that is appropriate to eat. This food is special in the sense that it contains no chemicals and has no salt or preservatives. They also restrict themselves from eating meat, making the vast majority of Rastas vegetarians. While they are known for smoking Ganja they do not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. At least true Rastas refrain. While the Rasta Movement is based primarily on Black Power, Bob Marley himself was not black. His mother was of African descent, but his father was a white Jamaican sent to the island by the British army to oversee rural lands during World War Il. Bob is definitely the most famous Rasta that ever lived. A lot of people feel that he was a prophet himself. He even reportedly prophesized to one of Bob Marleys body to be moved to Ethiopia his friends that he would die at the age of 36, and he did. He died of cancer. Because his faith refused the idea of cutting of the body, Bob refused to have a cancerous tumor removed from his foot. He also read palms in his childhood years and foretold of the future within the hands he read. When he was five years old Bob was sent to Kingston, reluctantly by his mother, upon his fathers request so that he might be educated. His father dropped his son off in the capitol city with an elderly woman as his caretaker. His father never returned and soon Bob was forced to take care of himself and his caregiver. This was where he witnessed for the first time, the shambles that peoples lives were in on the rough streets of Kingston. On April 21s, 1966, Haile Salassie himself visited Jamaica. This was arranged by the Labour party in Jamaica in hopes of suppressing the Rastas idea that he was the incarnation of God on Earth. Eobs new wife Rita waited with many other Rasta at the airport to see the Emperor and as he came close to her she claims that she saw an imprint of the stigmata of Jesus in his hand as he waived to her. She told Bob of her experience when he returned from the states and he was willing and open to the new found faith. Bob often spoke out against the Roman Catholic Church. In Bobs days the newspapers in Jamaica would print pictures of Italian planes being blessed by the Pope before they flew toAfrica to. murder innocent people during war. The Rastas in Jamaica did not understand how a man of God could be capable of being this immoral? Therefore, they believed that he in fact was the Antichrist, and the leader of Babylon. While Jamaica seemed to be close to Bobs heart this was not his true home. As Rita explained to the Associated Press, Bobs whole life is about Africa. Its not about Jamaica. February 6" is Bobs Birthday and he would have been 60 years old if he was still alive today. A celebration is planned to be held in Ethiopia. The U.N. childrens agency and the African Union have worked with Mrs. Marley to coordinate a series of celebrations that are to last an entire month long. Bobs huge family and a number of various reggae artists are scheduled to perform at a concert in honor and memory of the reggae superstar. This event is going to be a huge deal for Rastas everywhere. All the proceeds collected are going to be donated to help poor African families. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE BOB MARLEY, IN TRUE PEACE WHERE YOU BELONG, AFRICA.
