Boo to these phony royalty's Africa is where it's at.

Jah Bless

how so much rasta de deh a skin dem teet wid de devil

Maximum Babylon

Marcia, Rita, Ethana, Empress and Yeshemabeth are truly regal. I hope the result of this historiacl visit benifit Jamaica and all the islands in the caribbean.

Nice pictures. It's good for Prince Charles and Duchess Camille to see Jamican culture up close and personal. Then again Britain always look to Jamaica. Also they were around Jamaican royalties too.

I AM A DEVOUT RASTANMAN AND ADHERE TO THE DEEP PRINCIPLES OF MY WAY OF LIFE.I ALSO HAVE THE DEEPEST RESPECT FOR BOB MARLEY AND OTHER BRETHREN WHO HAS PAVED THE WAY FOR US.THE ROYAL FAMILY HOLDS BLACK PEOPLE MUCHLESS RASTAFARI TO NO REGARD ,THATS WHY I AM A BIT SURPRISED AT THE FANFARE BEING PUT ON BY SOME OF THE BRETHREN AND SISTHREN NAMELY TAURUS RILEY RITA MARLEY ETANA AND OTHERS.WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO IN GETTING REPARATIONS AND EVEN AN APOLOGY FROM THE ROYAL FAMILY.THESE SO CALLED ROYALTY HAVE AND IS STILL EXPLOITING AFRICA TO THESE VERY DAY.WHEN BRO BOB WAS ON HIS WAY IN1981 TO PERFORM AT THE ZIMBABWE INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATIONS PRINCE CHARLES SENT ONE OF HIS "HENCHMEN"TO ASK BOB TO COME SEE HIM AT THE V.I.P BOB SENT THE SERVANT BACK SAYING"IF THE PRINCE WANTS TO TALK TO ME TELL HIM COM TO ME". THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE PRINCIPLES RASTA SHOULD STAND BY.IF THE WANTED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE THEY SHOUL HAVE VISITED SOME RASTA ELDERS AND ASKED THEM ABOUTB OUR STRUGGLE RATHER THAN WE GOING TO THEM WITH ALL THIS NONSENSE OF BEINGTHEIR LOYALN SUBJECTS MY ROYALTY IS WITH AFRICA AND ETHIOPIA.I OVERSTAND THE MINISTER IN GOVERNMENT DOING THIS NONSENSE BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THEY ARE ALL WESTMINISTER CHOIR BOYS BUT RASTAFARI?THE ONLY WAY I WILL VISIT BUCKINGHAM PALACE IS TO...WELL JUST LISTEN TO PETER TOSH SONG ON THE SUBJECT.I COULD GO ON AN ON BUTI THINK I HAVE MADE MY POINT.

Haile Di Most High, Emperor Haile Selassie The First Of Etheopia!!! Lives and rules and reigns.

Red-Gold-And Green!

why are we even giving these people ay attention they don't give a damn.
once again masser is in control. Just makes me sick.

When will we get rid of our colonial mindset?When are we going to create a system of governing that works for us and not them? When are we going to fight for independence?

Rita and all the other fake phonies, This is why Jamaica can not be independent. We love to smile up with these so called royal sh*t heads. They should not be welcomed in Jamaica for what they represent and what their families did to our ppl. They are still living off our wealth. the Queen is still the Chief of State of Jamaica. Our constitution was written in England. Now we need freedom for real, we need to set our own laws and principles and stop looking to Europe and kissing their village chiefs ass. Africa is where the secrets to our liberation lie,not Europe. European laws and systems of governing are designed for the benefit of Europe. It hurts to see, Jamaican people dress up in costumes playing dancing clowns for their colonial masters. It is disgusting to see the pride in their smiles to be touching that mans hands. Too many of us are lost in the colonial mind. If he is not coming to Jamaica to apologize for slavery and colonialism and murder of our African ancestors and robbing of our wealth, and to announce reparations and the erasing of Jamaican debt to England; then he and his village chief family can stay in europe. England has successfully created a dependent culture of servants to worship them, but it wont last too long because people like me and many others know the cruelty and the devilish mentality of these slave traders and my kids be as Bob Marley said emancipated from mental slavery. No more dancing around and making a representative of the oppressor feel welcomed-unless plotting to kill him/her. I want to see the big excitement created when Bruce Golding goes to the UK, the pictures the Scottish Pipers and the Ballroom dancers all the British celebrities coming out to welcome and smile and die to shake hands with the Right Dishonorable Bruce Golding, show me that?

Wow!!!!!!!!!! That is a beauty to see...........

so all the chatters and haters are out in full flight flying passt their nest again.as per usual. I am wondering whether all the so called scholars or @@##$$ sent a letter to the Prince regarding reparation and repatriation. Was a letter sent to to Bob Marley Museum or Jamaica House since the Marleys and other artistes who dared to smile back with the guests dont have no sense??? Bet you no one did
yeah man critize others that way unuh hide unuh nonfunctional a** holes
jealousy killing some of unuh. dense and wiked and pretending to be Rastafari

Check out Marcia's face, she is in deep toughts unlike Rita. Rita a skin and grin, I know if Bob was alive he would be killing them with some real lyrics Such as: GIVE WE BACK WE F..KING WEALTH WA YOU BL**DC....H M*MA and her generation THIEF and get the F..K out of Africa. Just remember to take all you royal virus back to Europe. You so call royal.

I SAY WE BOYCOTT ANY RASTA ARTIST WHO WAS THERE AT THIS COLONIAL ORGY.MY ETANA AND TAURUS RILEY CD IS GOING OUT...PROTEST PROTEST...SHAME ON RASTAFARI NAME.

I ONLY HOPE ONE OF THOSE RAS ASK THEM PEOPLE DEY FI FREE UP THE HERBS..

A LOT OF YOU ARE QUICK TO JUDGE OTHERS WHO GO OUT
THERE AND REPRESENT OUR COUNTRY IN A GOOD WAY.
I THINK ITS GREAT THAT RITA /TARUS / ETANA & ALL WHO TAKE PART DO WELL FOR JAMAICA IT SHOWS THAT WE ARE VERY HOSPITABLE.
WE MUST STOP BLAMING OTHER PEOPLE. ALL WE TEND TO DO IS SIT AROUND AND TALK...SHOOT...STAB...ROB...AND HATE EACH OTHER.
TIME TO MOVE ON

Q WHAT HAVE YOU DUN FOR JAMAICA
Q DO YOU HAVE A JOB...PAY TAX
Q DO YOU RUN A BUSINESS SMALL OR LARGE
ALL WE DO IS DIS OUR WOMEN TREAT THEM LIKE DOG
DIS PEOPLE WHO TRY TO MAKE A CHANGE FOR GOOD

RASTA IS NOT EVERYONE WHO GROW DEM HAIR IS A RASTAMAN OR WOMAN SOME A DEM FI TRIM.
NUFF A DI ARTIST DEM TO DEM FI GOWEH CAUSE DEM TECK DI TING FI FASHION

BLESSED LOVE: SOUTHY, S.TAFARI, CEO, GEE. YOU ALL OVERSTAND WHAT'S UP.
I LIVE IN TORONTO AND WAS NAUSEATED YESTERDAY MARCH 13TH TO SEE A PHOTO IN ONE OF OUR DAILY PAPERS OF CHARLES AND CAMILLA A BEAT DRUM WID A BAG-A-DREAD.A WHA REALLY A GWAN? DEM LATE-A-DAY DREAD NHO NHO NUTTEN BOUT RASTAFARI MOVEMENTS OR HISTORY.

IT WAS A FEW SHORT YEARS AGO DAT RAS MIGUEL LORNE WRITE TO BUCKINGHAM PALACE BOUT ISSUES RASTA PEOPLE A DEAL WID.I TINK HE ADVOCATED FOR BOTH REPATRIATION AND REPAIRATION (TO RETURN HOME AND TO REPAIR THE TRAUMAS I'N'I HAVE SURVIVED). THE RESPONSE WAS I QUICK AND FIRM NO!!.
BEFORE THAT, LEONARD HOWELL,JOSEPH HIBBERT, ROBERT HINDS, ARCHIBALD DUNKLEY, AND MANY OTHERS WERE JAILED, PERSECUTED, IMPRISONED AND COMMITTED TO BELLVIEW BECAUSE THEY TOLD JAMACIANS THAT THEIR LOYALTY SHOULD BE TO THE KING OF ETHIOPIA AND NOT TO THE KING OF ENGLAND.FOR THIS REASON THE COLONIAL GOVERNMENT OF JAMAICA THAT REPRESENTED THE BRITISH EMPIRE DETERMINED TO DESTROY RASTAFARI PEOPLE.SOMTIMES THEY HAD TO MEET IN CANE FIELDS BECAUSE THE POLICE TOOK A SPECIAL JOY IN BEATING RASTAFARI PEOPLE AND CUTTING OFF THEIR HAIR.ALEXANDER BUSTAMANTE GAVE AN ORDER TO BRING IN ALL RASTAFARI DEAD OR ALIVE.
DEM SEH A MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY OF US SQUANDER THAT MOST POWERFUL ASPECT OF OUR BEING.
Ben Okari:
"The oppressed mature more strangely and deeply than their oppressors. And yet, they often think of their victors as their standard of aspiration."
Steve Biko:
"The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressors is the minds of the oppressed."
Robert Marley:
"Emancipate yourselves from mental [enslavement] slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds."
Marcus Garvey:
"There is nothing that you cannot accomplish with the active intelligence of your own mind."

IT IS BECAUSE WE ALLOW OUR MINDS TO BE MANIPULATED BY THE HIGHEST BIDDER AND THROUGH 'THE HISTORICAL ARRANGEMENT OF PRECEPTION' WHY WE AS A PEOPLE CANNOT SHAKE DE CRAB-INNA-BARREL-WILLIE LYNCH MENTALITY AND PREPARE OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS FOR A LIFE TRULY WORTH LIVING.

UP YOU MIGHTY NATION YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH WHAT YOU WILL!!!

Selassie did not get as far as he did by pointing his finger at the queen or the nations that bowed to him by calling them a bitch or any other names. Education is key. The war is not only physical and it is going to take a lot more than name calling and finger pointing to win this one.

MORE THAN ONE WAY TO HANG A DOG WITHOUT PUTTING A ROPE AROUND HIS NECK.

THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND OWES US MORE THAN TWO MILLION POUND BUT SHOULD WE NOW ASK ROSE TOWN TO GIVE BACK THE TWO MILLION POUND HE GAVE THEM TO UPGRADE THEIR COMMUNITY.

Protest, Sister R and Portmore big up yourself for your insightful thoughts I cannot believe how rita a grin like she saw Bob come back to life again
portmore your comments are a breath of fresh air to know that you and I feel the same way,
did they ask to free up the herb and were is all the money them a thief for centuries.
Any rasta that participated in this cut of your locks.
when the police chase the rasta in england and lock them up for nothing I never saw Prince charles say hey that is not right.

Wat a way Judy had her daughter replace har, she smart, she no wah mix up inna dem Babylon ting deh.

Me rate har bcz she distance harself from dem kinda ppl deh.

Much Love and Respect to Sista Mowatt!!!!!!

too many fake rasta, dem love fame and vanity too much, dem nah defend rastafari principals. Etana needs to really look into herself, mi kinda lose ofa har for this one =, mi did think she was harder than that, mi know nuff so called rastas a are some big fraud, they are just performers and entertainers. love too much vanity and money. These entertainers who a perputrate rasta want to trim, and stop fool themselves.

Time to move on people and stop blaming everyone else for our own issues and problems.Frankly speaking the current members of the royal family cannot be blamed for our current crime rate, financial woes and high levels of illiteracy in JA. So what if the Prince came to jamaica and we showed them agood time, Rasta is about love, forgiveness and respect regardless of race, class, color or creed...... Tell me how you guys think ja woould look to the world if we treated the people like crap...u figget seh we depend on bigger countries money for our own survival....By the way Selassie was wise enough to seek the help of White people when he needed it, he also entertained them in his country on numerous occassions did that make him less of a man? As to a previous blogger who spoke about repatriation and good governance in Africa..why u nuh go back? there's not one country in Africa thats being run properly, take the easy way out and blame the white people them for that too.

Rita knows that if it was not for a White mans financial backing (chris Blackwell)she and Bob would still be in Trench Town right now......Rita and the other Rasses understand that Rasta shows and gives love to all, as all men are equal and created by our Heavenly Father.

greetins in da name of his imperial majesty haile sellasie...jah..rasta..far..i!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

walk gud...stand firm& chant jah works.

There is a time and a season for everything.
Is it now time to grin and laugh with our oppressors...They know what time it is. We OBVIOUSLY don't. instead of addressing the issues that are facing us at the hands of England or even carry forward the stance that the brother soldier did at Buckingham Palace, We just want to laugh and dance for them as we have been doing under the whip for so long.... we are really ignorant.

what is all this nonsense posts? sounds like the same person posting under diff names to get some sort of racists agenda across.

we all know Mrs. Rita Marley can do no right in some peoples eyes so shut the fk up and keep it moving. keep hating while she keep being Mrs. Marley.

anyways nice pictures and glad jamaica and the rasta's that were there kept it regal and classy.

there is a time and place for everything and this certainly would not have been the time to show your ass.

I read all the comments and theres no one way to look at this thing,,1st of all there is a sayin that goes IF YOU DONT STAND UP FOR SOMTHING YOU WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING,,as black we are very much forgetful,, things dat happen to our grand and great grand parents just 100yrs ago we forget already,,know your history people,its the same Queen Elizabeth mother and grandmother did have our grandmother working as slave and as a result alot of us in 3rd world or less of situation than the british white people dem,
Any1 ever notice how the gay society demonstrate and block reggae artist when them out to perform anywhere in the world,yes they dont forget the song buju or shaba did how many years ago,,they still stand up for their nasty rights so rastafarian as the only group dat represent afrocentricity to the utmost in this western diaspora must not be fooled by the british monarchy them,,hold your grounds, or fall again for them and be the present generation of black people that get trick by the slave master,,,enteratining them for publicity shouldnt be on your 1st agenda,,remember our people agenda, remember the nazi holocaust? Jews never give up they fighting till this day cause them for parents did suffer and they all rise up and decide that dem not goin thru dat again,,wemust no longer be short sighted look on the big picture not for ratings for yourself but for justice for your people now and your future generation or else we gona continue suffereing for another 100yrs...think about it,open your eyes dont be rasta and dont kno wat blackness is about

@portmore, u are right on target. Is like these entertainers have to stop pretend to be Rasta. Rastafari is a serious movement. It sick my stomach to see them, they all look like a bunch of slaves. JA have a loooooooooooong way to go.

wolf in sheep clothing, Rita and them all, Rita of all rasta should know better, rasta no bow, r apologize to no pagan, how could they even touch the hands of that beast? i cant even type his name, rasta u r to know better and do better, its not the way of rasta livity, stop sell your sole i, those people dont deserve no respect from no rast. a devil them and this is y we as one loving people cannot concur and rule nothing, these pagans will always be our rulers of life rulers of our going and coming, and rulers of our future kid, stop promote them wickedness, tell them about them self, Torrus, rita,etana, all the garden girl, most of u cant even walk go school with out getting raped r bad up for your front, tell the pagan that, stop shake off his hand like all is well, talk the business, tell them about them self, tell them how people hungry and a suffer, instead of shaking there hands whisper in there ears, what the f**k is going on in jamaica. tell them the kids r hungry and u r not going home with out your youths dinner, tell them that u fake azzzzzz'es. PS PLEASE POST MY COMMENT, MECK IT REACH THE PARLIMENTS, LET IT REACH THE HOUSE THEY WORSHIP IN AND ENSLAVE BLACK PEOPLE MIND, AND NO IAM NOT A RASTA, BUT MY HEART BLEED FOR MY PEOPLE.

Most a onoo sound backwards sa? Slavery has been over 200yrs, we will not forget but we should rise above blaming White ppl for they state of our economy etc. We have been given the chance to run our country and look at it high crime rate, unemployment and poverty

@ All of the so called Rasta's and baldheads who were in attendance, who perform for their royal family. PLEASE PLEASE READ PAYDAY POST, EDUCATE YOURSELVES. Rita, u better, but i guess she has decided to become a politician for JLP. Read about our story. This was really a backwards move on Rita part and all so-called rasta participants.
BIG DISGRACE.

It is my opinion that the visit of HRH is an important milestone in history. Notwithstanding we were victims of injustices dealt out by his ancestors. We can however look forward to Ephraim (England) assisting I&I in repartriation. It is divnely ordained that we get help from them. Let us not forget too that HIM Haile Selassie 1 when in exile spent a lot of time in Bath England. He also had close connection with this royal family.
"UNTIL THE COLOR OF A MAN'S SKIN IS OF NO MORE SIGNIFICANCE THAN THE COLOR OF HIS EYES" words from HIM Haile Selassie 1

@Reuben, u sound like a big idiot, have u every see HIM dance and prance for them. HIM is a statesman. A only that we want these Rasta/pasta's to know. don't care how u look at it NO Rasta's should have participating other than dealing with these ppl regarding issues affecting the ppl of JA. The money England owes, economic development, and so forth. It's all carribean ppl seem to know to do is dance and prance for their Masters.... don't care who want vex

it must have beeen funny and hilarious to see Prince and wife enjoying the lyrics such as 'ole pirates', wish i knew what song Etana and Taurus sang
More ways to cut down Babylon than by war..why not let them dance their way to destruction..
lets not be so hard on our artistes..there are more ways to catch a rat than by a trap

rueben u is a tru dunce. We can not repatriate to anywhere. We were born in Jamaica that is our home until we get our act together and Africa get its act together, repatriation makes no sense. Our minds have to be repatriated first, and its not about saying and shouting africa. Its about getting back our spirituality, social orders, family order, etc. Because the European order has successfully fucked us up. Point is we can not leave Jamaica because it is so beautiful and those parasites in England would love to colonize it again, we owe it to our ancestors and the dead Arawak to protect and build something good on the land they perished on at the hands of these kings and queens of england. We should not be asking them for any assistance for anything, and if we do ask it should be a demand not begging like a homlesss man on the street dancing for change. We should be saying where the F u C K is the money you stole from us, if you do not have it I it would be wise for you to stay out of our business and in your slaughterhouse in england. So cut all that devine and religion bullshit. Jamaica is ours our ppl Died and that is what we got and we need to assert ownership and make some ppl know this is not a party or a whore house. No more skipping and dancing for these people.
