Rastafarian and Politics

Bob Marley was drawn to Rastafarian religion. He was influenced by his wife Rita, and he then received teachings from Mortimer Planner. He actually served as a missionary faith (his actions and lyrics suggest that this was intentional), so that religion was known internationally. In his music he preached brotherhood and peace for all mankind. Before he died he was also baptized in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church with the name Berhane Selassie. 
Marley was a great advocate of marijuana, used by him in the sense of communion, although its use is not consensus among Rastafarians. On the cover of Catch a Fire he is seen smoking a marijuana cigarette, and the spiritual use of cannabis is mentioned in many of his songs. 
Marley also had connections with the Rastafarian sect "Twelve Tribes of Israel", and expressed this with a biblical quote about Joseph, son of Jacob, on the album Rastaman Vibration.


Phrases of Bob Marley


"What is the skin color is more important than the brightness of his eyes Me say war."

"I do not have ambitions.'s Only one thing I really want: that mankind live together ... blacks and whites together."

"We do not play to please the critics. We play what we want when we want and how we want. And we have reason to play."

"Sometimes dreams built on top of great people ... time passes ... and found that large were the same dreams and the people too small to make them real!"

"One day I will die in the end everyone will die, will I buried, a farmer too crazy I will fertilize and turn me into a beautiful walk of marijuana. Only then will I know that even after death continue to make your head!"

"Reggae is not to give in is for feel. Who does not feel you do not know." 

"While skin color is more important than the brightness of the eyes, there will always be war." 

"We refuse to be what you wanted us to be. We are what we are, is how it goes. You can not educate"
