Yeah I wish that never happened. We need more Jamaica music here. Its here, but not the way it should be. Steel Pulse is among the greats that I listen to still today.
If people knew Jamaicaâs history and the sexual degradation of men,women and children at the hands of their masters,they would understand...
Read and understand your history. Right now in 2020 Jamaica has one of the highest murder rates, same with child sexual abuse, 3 girls a day go missing here you gonna blame that also on the white buckra massa. Every African country is the same. Stop blaming the white man for your problems. Look in the freaking mirror and see who you are.
Thomas Pane shut the fuck up
@@a1jay-saucejay390 he is telling the truth...every culture has been enslaved at some point..they all found a way to move past it
Exactly....perfect comment..! The LGBT COMMUNITY need to accept that everyone is not going to have open arms for them.
Jay Jackson , jamaicaââs homophobia stems solely from the Bible and not the history most ppl donât know of that part of Jamaicaâs history, itâs not thought in school. Ask any Jamaican and they refer to the Bible.
Jamaicans don't fear homosexuals. We just don't agree with the lifestyle. Major difference.
How is being gay a lifestyle?
From all I've heard, people are born that way...
There are ppl who donât agree that blk ppl should be considered equal to white ppl, does that mean theyâre right to lynch blk ppl?
D Julani : I agree with you There is no Fear and Everyone has to Decide their own Destiny-However when another Life is killed for their Choice Thatâs another Story - If I donât like Ginger Tea and you Love It That is a choice- what bothers me is an Agenda that is being promoted to young Children who are very impressionable - and are like sponges- They need Guidance on these Matters as well as Adults- Its a Crazy World-Just Sayin Peace with Innerstanding
Name lies and confusion molestation is the cause of the bad mind
Nkosi Yamakosi what type of fuckrey to say sex inna yah bumahole is equivalent to the struggles of racism and slavery? Yah mad?
Greetings this rasta gentle man is talking the truth about most of the jamaican artists mindset towards other's & their sexual preferences etc. They have no right to be bashing others for wat they choose to do when there are far worst issues to be addressed & they'rent doing that. They are locking where understanding, informations , dicipline & Godliness are concerned . Hinds his music & his band are roll models & one of the best ever.
That is a abomination towards God and christ
Homosexuality is not black culture, thatâs Greo-Roman culture. African people never legitimised homosexuality
Word. After the Romans and Greeks captured Egypt they for sure brought their batty business there. Greeks loved pederasty. Socrates said, "it was better than man and woman relationships." That was a sick ass dude
I really didn't think he was being pro gay agenda....I think he's right to leave it up to god to judge ..."Judge not, lest ye be judged"
God already judge kmt read!! It is an âabominationâ kmt how you quote the Bible but donât know this?!!! Kmt. Lost souls kmt
@Kri S pretty much every religion is against homosexuals
Thereâs not a gay agenda, you idiot đ€Šđœââïž
As always DAVID HINDS hold it down RESPECTFULLY INTELLECTUALLY .
Hate shouldn't sell. But Jamaican are not alone, hate is embedded in humanity. Hate kills, Love is the ANSWER
Great answer đđœ Mr. Hines
The legendary Steel Pulse
Thanks for post, I love steel pulse, I think theyâre a really great reggae band,
And I like his Truths, You are what you are in this life, Respect due to all..â€ïžđđâ€ïžđđâ€ïžđđâ€ïžđđâ€ïžđđâ€ïžđđâ€ïžđđâ€ïžđđâ€ïžđđâ€ïžđđ
From the looks of these comments, a lot of you are suffering in the practice of reading comprehensionđ© He said that views differ in different countries. CLEARLY your comments demonstrate how you differ from the US mainstream. He said that he knows what HE likes, and that everyone else will be judged by their god. PERIOD!
Reading the comments here I donât think homophobia (prejudice against homosexuals) is the biggest problem. Ignorance or willful ignorance seem to be a national pastime. All I can say is wow cause itâs hard to believe these commenters have internet access. I always wonder why Bob or any of the Marleys never obsess about homosexuality like the dancehall artists do now. Now I know.
M Bailey I do not accept skin bleaching as a practice, however I do not obsess over it either. I do not get out of bed every morning with bleachers on my mind and write songs or harp about it all day every day. I never said Marley spoke for all Jamaicans, I merely observed that they are more cultured and well travelled than the average Jamaican. As a country with so much potential is painful to see ignorance as the main export.
"Don't teach di youts dem bout no phobia..." IWayne
Anybody know the opening tune ?
I'm of Black Jamaican heritage - both parents born and raised in the parish of Clarendon. I'm not too bothered with gays and so on. This is because I have been living in the Netherlands for years now. It's everywhere.
I knew reading the comments were a bad idea smh
Lol, I'll take your word and won't read it. I see that this 4 mins video has like over 400 comments..lol
Ikr, not reading comments is self care đđŸ
Shouldnât have scrolled deep enough to see yours

I recall that time when Shabba said what he said. The problem is this JA musicians donât & didnât have PR or good PR. To help them navigate these murky seas, itâs not about compromising your stance etc but knowing & understanding the âindustryâ is filled with all kinds of people. Like David said he knows what heâs about.
There's nothing to be admired about somebody not compromising their stance, when it comes to them having hatred and intolerance towards a segment of humanity.
@@timothydraper6626 Little do you know Steel Pulse have worked with Diana King. Jamaica isnât rampant with hate possibly male ego for most part folks are left to live their lives.

Well said brethren
Sexual preference has nun to with songs..as yahshua said..who is without sin throw the first stone...evreyman account for himself...two man, two woman, proostitute cash or non cash same sin...so bigger fish to fry in rasing consiousness and by doing that automatically will guide to yah and RASTA livity...BOB, Bunny, Third World, Aswad, Chornix, Koffee, Steel Pulse and the Marleys will xontinue to promote and support reggae music...dance hall has and will always be dancehall.
.appeal to the common streets and its not ghetto because wailers came out from the ghetto..its about xonciousness where anybody can listen to your music...children, old, young, ladies not disrespecting man or woman...xrated music not allowed in my audio space...
Bless David x
this is such a treacherous slander from steel pulse against a peace loving ambitious hardworking people of Jamaican. Perhaps David Hinds will now earn a Grammy for Denouncing Jamaican Music and the poor masses of Jamaican resistance.
Peace living people??? Hahaha
Simon Manley peace loving? Perhaps in our day and time, Jamaica could be described as peace loving. However, that version of Jamaica no longer exists. You need look no further than the rate of murder and or sexual assaults. As a matter of fact, study the murder of returning residents. Although I agree in principle to his sentiments, I am very troubled by the tone and tenor of his statements. It is as though he does not believe that he is Jamaican. Just because you are born abroad, the blood rings true. Perhaps he has forgotten something along the way.
Rudolph Miller , LoL , these same Jamaicans that will claim theyâre not Afrikans because they are born in Jamaica , now you tryna say someone born outta Jamaica is Jamaican. Ethnicity trumps nationality every time.
The priority of the struggling African Black Masses of Jamaican people on our picture post card former slave Plantation colonial Island of Jamaica is to survive and thrive against the persistent Economic Stagnation of our country's Economy, and the social structure meltdowns of the society. Reggae Music was borne out of struggles of the Black African Jamaican people to tell their own experiences as children of the abducted raped sodomized, tortured murdered ,marginalized, brainwashed trampled down and pauperized ancestors on the Slave colonial Island. Reggae Music is about resistance and promoting original African retention values. Come off of Jamaican people back with your constant pressure and attacks to hug up your agenda and stuffing paper down the throats of our people expression of freedom. David Hinds have joined the campaign to demonize Jamaican Black People and their music .He David Hinds have made millions a sing black Jamaicans suffering resistance music called Reggae . Millionaire David Hinds where is your Donation help to our dilapidated Hospitals and broken down schools in Jamaica?
We have 1.5 million people without any home of their own on our beloved Island who needs help. Do not mix up our Island People and the wonderful cultural creativity and the ambitious driven African Black Jamaican masses .Shame on David Hinds.
lemmieatit right.
One of the greatest Reggae bands of all time
He is simply saying that there is a million way to skin a cat. No where did he say that he support and/or agree with homosexuality. â... I have more important things to talk about rather than someone elseâs sexual preference....â Ask your self this: Are homosexual mashing up Jamaica or Jamaica is being dragged to the ground by corrupted political systems and personnel? How many wars started due to sexual preference? How many wars started and how many people have been persecuted because religion?
Historically as homosexuality becomes the norm in society, the society collapse see rome and greece. I agree there might be more important things to talk about but the promotion and rise of gay sex in African societies must be stopped along with corruption. They're both against the natural order.
Malvo Malvo yu remember Steve Harvey statement b I u t messing up h is money I am disappointed co n side ring I was, the first to take steel Pulse On An ME Rican Tour .Now I Shall Dump AL GPS Music As As A Fake Rasta ONE FI Stand Up FI A Belief Right OR Wrong ..But When Yu Bow To Batty Business FI A Diller YOU Will Dell Yu SAS REGGAE And Rasta SAS Up FI Rightiousness . Whe n one continue using thre political word adjebder adgender your close to the edge .Reconciled in Reconizeing the Banksters oppression on the pple .Ini must fight on and BEN dem !!!
Maat Ras you assume that it can stop. Can it? Show me the method and/or avenue one would utilize
to stop another person from exercising his/her freedom of the will, and I will show you a liar. The point is: you cannot stop people from living them life. Jamaica condemned battyman, yet Jamaica have the most battyman... if yuh nuh believe mi, guh outah emancipation Park one late night... is like ah battyman conferenceđđđđđđ
Maat Ras , nation will rise and nation will fall thatâs a fact, it has nothing to do with anyone sexuality. Afrika was conquered and divided up amongst Europe, was it homosexuality that caused Africa downfall?
@@dunkirk9319 historically, reggae artistes have always spoke about a lot of unimportant things along with important things so why should it be an issue if an artist give their personal opinion about the gay lifestyle? The music was birth out of people talking about everything that was going on around them so why should homosexuality be excluded?
What can be more than speaking the truth?
David nailed it .
đ„âŒïž
So what he's saying is, shut up, sing and dance in front of Gays for money. Leave your religion and personal views out of it?
The only thing it hurt was the promotion because the whole world a turn batty
Africa will never tolorate chi chi man
Egypt practiced it in pharaohs days..not the Israelites though..that's why we are not africans..totally different and separate
Rastafari is LIFE and Salvation.. EVERYONE has an equal Right to live and be free.. but that also means I have a RIGHT to REJECT anything that doesn't promote the Natural AFRICAN way of procreation.. Its my RIGHT, (NOT an opinion)
Paul Kelly , you are absolutely correct. You donât have to accept nor promote anyoneâs lifestyle that you donât agree with, but no one should have the right to promote violence against another person whoâs not causing any harm to anyone else in society, just because you disagree with their lifestyle.
Which is exactly what Jamaicans, and some Jamaican musicians chose to do.

Yes i you are right
Think about this deeply!
A man and a woman have sex to make a baby.
Sex between a man and woman is procreational only.
The male semen fertilized the female egg.
When the man and the woman forgot the purpose of the semen and the purpose of sex.
The men started disposing their semen in a plastic to stop procreation from happening, men under go vasectomy procedures to stop them from getting a woman pregnant, some men ejaculate their semen on the woman's face, you can not make a baby on someone's face.
Some women use all forms of pregnancy prevention pills to have recreational sex and go against the purpose of their womb and the semen.
Recreational sex is pregnancy prevention sex that sums up aborting the seed of life from being produced to being killed.
Recreational sex addicts
are the ones that open all the doors for more non procreational sex activities to happen.
Now fun sex isn't funny no more.
Heterosexuals need to win back their sexual power by only having procreational sex. Sex for procreational only.
Paul, just curious as how you define "reject"? Mind sharing a few examples?
David a legend
Can't connect utube
God make man first then woman if same sex was right he wouldn't make male and female. And is that, take it however you want to. Two man can't make children niether two woman. But I leave all judgement to GOD â€đđđ€

Total hypocracy to push for equal rights in reggae roots culture such as with racism but make an exception to LGBTQ+ rights. Come on reggae culture, catch up with the times, understand that most scripture is written by MEN (who sin, make mistakes, etc. [And of which sexual preference is only mentioned in only a few passages btw, especially in comparison to say, adulatory]), and reject oppression from all sides. Biggups to Steel Pulse for their courage to stand up for what's right!

@@alphaecka1949 Nope, I'm not gay - absolutely hetero in fact. Just an LGBTQ+ ally who's been a life-long reggae fan spreading the message of love and unity. Calling me batty expresses hate and your hypocracy as well, my bredren - in the direction that the KKK shows bigotry towards people of color. Oppression must be fought in all battle grounds, not cherry picked. I think looking back at scripture can be helpful and definitely inform us today, but it's also pretty outdated and can be pretty silly. I doubt I'd go to hell, I've done a lot of good in this life, especially standing up for/with God's/Jah's children - even if they're LGBTQ+.
@Emeka Ukwu What, all of them?
@@premo0 it's our love for humanity that has gotten us where we are now. If we are going to reclaim our identity has black ppl, we are going have to first state what was and was not a part of our culture...including homosexuality. The foundation of our music wasn't founded upon inclusion but rather stating our position on everything around us.
@@julesgordon1109 I'm confused. You talk about as if LGBTQ+ Black people are not Black. Can you please clarify?

P. Ricans embracing homosexuality like crazy because of America. Iâm glad Jamaica isnât like dat. I might move to Kingston or S. Africa next to get away from the alphabet agenda.

@@kingpaw5352 nobody can turn anyone gay. What's the problem i can't turn on a tv without seeing a man and a woman kissing. It doesn't bother me because what other people eat doesn't make me shđ©t. Maybe you need to pay attention to the things that matter to you.
atransphobesworstnightmare I don't have to be afraid. I bet none of these alphabets won't go to the middle east, Syria, Korea, or any other country they won't expect this mental behavior. Fear doesn't have anything to do with intelligence.
No Matter how good an Artist doing Reggae they can never get it from a Jamaican ponit of view....
They study the thing we do it on gods inspiration.....Certain words haffi utter fi mek the people know the truth...
No matter what some man a seh.
The jamaican artists should be passionate against femeicide and violence and robberies that are happening in jamaica and keep their noses out of people private lives sexuality.
I may not be the biggest steel pulse fan or really have full grasp of their music but this man obviously isn't in tune with Jamaican culture , he was born , raised and has lived in England or other place besides .so is opinion of Jamaican culture and what it should entails is skewed because of his own personal acceptance of certain things and expect an entire nation of people ( that he barely knows or lived in) to accept something that has never and will never be apart of it's culture
Facts!!!
it's interesting how this band has been overlooked for a while, but they're all over the place now all of a sudden though. especially when they had a song that took a jab at the King James Version of The Bible. #theygottaeat
eddie jonz well the Kings James Version is not the Fullness : Remember Most of the Sacred text were Removed by A Council headed by King James - So David is giving the Historical Facts and truth in that song
Wow, I just made a similar comment and yours the first I read... spirit is real...
@@kufunyaIfe my uncle Judah help write that song... RIP

@@kufunyaIfe it's interesting to me how people question the legitimacy of this version, but get upset about if they have a personal testimony unto salvation though...some even mention the color of those who wrote it, but are crickets about He who inspired the scriptures to be written. if it's a so-called "falsehood", why is everything in it either happened, is happening or is headed in the direction of happening?...the same folks who say the same rhetoric that you're spewing has yet to be able to answer that question...you want to mention the legitimacy of the KJV of The Bible, but you don't say the same thing about any other "doctrine" that was written by man.
Now you are seeing the two face nature of black people ,This is crunch time.David Hinds of Steel Pulse just attacked and branded an entire society of people with anti Jamaican invective s.Reggae Music is an original music created from the life and historical experiences of the African Jamaicans in Jamaica.
Shame on you David Hinds for attacking and branding Jamaicans with your derogatory defamatory labels against Jamaica and her people.
Simon Manley , idiot talk.jamaica is an homophobic society, are you in denial?
Pulse never was on the playlist now for sure not bredren đ€Ź
All Hinds was saying those songs and lyrics were rejected in america and else where,
so they weren't being booked. In jamdown the lyrics ,songs on top.Simple as that
@Shay Munney African Jamaica 100% Barbican ,Kingston Jamaica born , forefathers straight out a Addis Ababa .
You stupid fuck, you obviously didnât even listen what he said. Typical religious fucktard, blind to anything that may cause them to think
I am Star Struck
Wise man!
That makes reggae cooler
I fear that perhaps you misunderstood me or perhaps I failed in my intention. I speak of Culture, not necessarily ethnicity.
DAVID HINDS jamaican are who they are...why condemned them for what they believe in....your focuses in on the acceptance of the music.....in order to gain wealth....well it should be morals over wealth....their is a lot more people in the world than the over 300 million Americans
You ainât Jamaica , talk for you self , Rasta no mingle with no batty bwoy
This man selling out his belief and culture just for money and fame.......so sad .....if dnt stand for something u will fall for everything
Gregory Francis - Apparently you didn't get what he was saying. He made it clear that he doesn't write songs condemning homosexuality for the same reason that other roots reggae artists of his generation don't. Because they dont consider it a topic of enough importance to be worth writing about. The obsession about homosexuality started in the 1990s with the rise of dancehall. David is not part of that generation and its lyrical tendencies.
@@echo-trip-1 I've heard a lot of reggae artists talk about population control to some extent so if they address homosexuality in that manner, I don't see what the issue is.
jules Gordon - I never got that connection. It doesn't seem to benefit the powers that be to reduce the black population, because cheap (or free) labor is always needed, and they've never had much trouble keeping black people from rising up against them. Homosexuality is also never more than 10 percent of any population. If anything, the birthrate of white people is most threatened with unsustainable reduction. Educated urban people just don't want to have as many children, and especially in liberal cities like San Francisco, a lot of whites are choosing not to have children at all. That's not due to a conspiracy from powerful actors, just a lifestyle choice. It's the same thing in Japan. And even in Latin America the birthrate has gone down due to increasing education rates of women and their choice not to have as many kids. But homosexuality is still 5 to 10 percent of the population in all countries.
@@echo-trip-1 well do the maths...if there is 40 million black people in america, wouldn't that make the number of black ppl that is gay, about 4 million? That number couple with the fact that many people are unable to have kids is a major issue and should be addressed. So I would have no issue if artists talk about homosexuality in this manner.
jules Gordon - Ok well that's your opinion. If a reggae artist is worried about population decline, they can sing about it. I don't think too many did tho, cause the population of Jamaica wasn't declining. And i don't think it' was or is declining in Africa either.
In other words...keep your eyes on the money...this rasta nah preach no rightousness.. silence mean consent
Can't serve 2 masters Bredren! Stand for something or fall for anything!
We live in the world not of the world. The bible tells us about the people who are going to hell . Those people are amongst us every day . It's not wise to go out pointing fingers and picking fights with them. The best thing to do is be an example through your life and righteousness. Preach the gospel and remember it's not us who is gonna judge them it's the lamb that was sacrificed because all of us fell short. Resist Babylon by living the way Father intended.
The Bible is just one perspective, Hinduism isn't homophobic. Go figure.
@@timothydraper6626 Only the bible is the truth . The Koran is false, the hindu gita is false , the torah is incomplete because its before jesus .
@@briandoherty3249 None can be called true because none can be proven. I'm an ex-theist, an atheist, so you'll never me to agree.
People sexuality is there business. I never understood the Jamaican men though. You would think that since the Jamaican male measure is worth by how much women he has, he would be ok with gay people, because that would mean less competition for him. More gays =more women for straight men. You would also come to the conclusion that he would be against lesbian, since that would be his competition. Lesbian = less woman for him. You would rightfully conclude that the Jamaican man is confused are fighting against his own interests. You would conclude that Jamaican men wouldn't make a good business men either, because he is working against himself and building up his competitor. His business is women (some people may disagree with that, but every pretty house you buy, every nice car you drive all the education you get or business you start is to impress or get more women, if it wasn't for women we all would be living in huts, walking around half naked and smelling like cr&p, unless you gay of course) and his competitors are other men, yet he is lenient with lesbians and fight against gay men. The opportunity cost of his position is he will have less women because those who are gay will consider the repercussion if they come out the closet, and out of fear be with women. Those same men support are turn a blind eye to lesbians who are their competition also making null and void their position that homosexual are against Gods will, you can't say one sin is bad and the other is ok.
Also the more adults resist something the popular it becomes with you know who, children, they always want to rebel and do things that their parents and the authorities disapprove of. So sometimes the best way to let something die is to legalize it. All marketers know the best way to grow sales is to make your products semi legal like the tobacco and alcohol industry, government are their biggest marketing agent . Government not necessary in Jamaica but in the US government make it illegal to use alcohol and tobacco products if you not 18-21 and that age group is the biggest user of that product, both the government and producers know if they make it legal for that age group sales and usage would fall among that age group, but it would impact profit. We live in a gadamn capitalist country everything is about profits the sooner you learn that the saner you will be.
Creative people tends to be a little bit on the gay side, so with that being said it would be quite ok to assume a lot of Jamaican dj,s, singer, media personality, and entertainers are gay, but have to keep it hidden since they live in 1940 Germany with nasi who will kill you because of some perceived difference, oh wait my excuse they live in Jamaica. As I say the position most people hold is correlated with the amount of profits they inclined to make, for instance when Jamaicans come to the US in about six months they become tolerant and even have gay friends, because they knew any other openly held position will get them deported or jail. So there is consequent for being intolerant, that's called redirections in Psychology. Only people who can redirects the Jamaican people are politicians. Any politicians who pass that law will be out of office the next election, so politicians being politicians will not redirects the Jamaican people and tell them their will be consequent for being intolerant.
The problem with intolerance is it hide whatever you being intolerant towards in the shadows. You may be friends with the same people you hate, they may be your boss, your local politician, your favorite dj but you will never know because you intolerant and people tends to hide things from intolerant people. The very thing you hate with so much passion might be right beside you now, but you take away the choice from yourself to refuse service from those people by being intolerant. The more you know the more you be able to make choices. Intolerance take away your abilities to make choices, especially when the thing you being intolerance towards his not stamp in people face. People are good at hiding stuff.
There is no way am going to reread that and correct any mistakes in it, no body pay me to write it.
The problem is global white supremacy racism if the Europeans never bothered us we wouldn't be a very confused people! All of the lifestyles that we as a people practice is not African! But European!

Wise words from a wise man, why make what someone do or what someone are the topic of interest in your music, if god doesnât like homosexuals let god stop making homosexuals, live and let live yes.

Yet still I donât see what sense this makes to the topic at hand .
Nkosi Yamakosi the mountain peak is their entertainment career & dem a bow down fi get All the glory , fame & riches that they see is possible !!
crownchrist , that still donât make no sense, so because they chose not to bash gay people, and to focus on redemption music, theyâre bowing to the devil? Is that what you tryna say
Nkosi Yamakosi redemption from what ?

I get what he is saying and he is right but i respect a man (like jamaican artist) that bun out dem lifestyles and regardless of that Jamaican dancehall artist music will ALWAYS be more prevalent and leave a greater mark on people bec it is HONEST.

Dancehall 80% of it is garbage and degrading. It makes rap music seem respectable.
Hurt the artist how??? Financial??? Our music culture went downhill because it became driven by money.

Well, he probably only doesn't that at certain performances and at specific areas now in Jamaica because he did none of that bad mannerism stuff here....capleton for sure has calm down
@@cosmicwisdom999 big facts. I agree
What ? Reggae music is a genra heavily influenced by the Bible... so ofcourse most reggae fans and artist will not compromise a big Law in the Bible and contradict their strict belief. 1 John 2:16.

Fyah bun di homophobic bullcrap talk!!!
Jamaica is strongly opposed to the lifestyle, Jamaica nuh have an irrational fear of the same sex ting.
This term people keep banding around is a politrikal propogandised term used to quell dissent.
If ah one is opposed that does not automatically equate to an irrational fear!! We need fi leave dem spell (words) alone; and pick sense from nonsense
No disrespect to di Elder, but ah one shuda kno and articulate himself betta

What truth? Truth is in the eyes of the beholder. Man not only wrote the book, he created all the characters with their magical powers. Since when was it impossible for men to lie and makeup things from thin air?

So, you are an atheist?
If you dont fall under gods teachings, it makes sense why you turn to degeneracy
@@shoeshine00 the definition of superstition is, beliefs in things you don't understand. I'll let you define atheists.
I bet believe in original sin, why, because you had it forced upon you before you were old enough to investigate or learn for yourself. In other words, an immature dogma was taught to you an immature child, as god given!
@@upsetter5259
No that's innacurate
And that's not what superstition is either, not even close.
A belief in the supernatural isn't always a blind one, though I can see why you would believe that in reference to any religion because you've rejected self discipline and morals for the sake of "free thinking" as you may call it.
But the truth is, now that this type of lifestyle is trendy and "accepting" you believe in anything that people tell you about it rather than researching it yourself.
@@shoeshine00 sounds like pot calling the kettle black! You obviously have a right to believe what you chose to believe; what you're not entitled to is ascribing morals and character to any religion!
By the way, you didn't respond on your belief in original sin. You should try and research it's origin!

I don't understand this view that everyone must embrace homosexuality. Why must we?
I don't understand this view that everyone must embrace the blacks. Why must we
Why must we? Because David wants to make money.
They are out of order & misleading in their ways & music while they are mixed up in all sort of nastiness & pretending that they are clean & inocent. Most of mixed up in evil doings &;their minds are curupt . blessings

Steele is not lying, Shabba Ranks' career in America went downhill after his comments. Which did hurt other Reggae artists' growth in America's music industry?

According to the definition of Homophobe it is somebody that dislikes homosexual people and / or has a preconceived opinion about homosexuals that is not based on reason or experience.
According to the definition of Sexist it is somebody that shows stereotypical views and / or preconceived opinions that is not based on reason or experience and / or treats somebody else unfairly / unjust based on their sex.
- I am not somebody that dislikes homosexual people, I personally serve homosexual people and homosexual people do favors for me, I call them my family my brothers and sisters and I love them. I do not like the act of homosexual sex or the promoting /condoning of it in society amongst children* I believe that adversely affects their processing and decision-making concerning their own sexuality, I do not believe that homosexuality aligns with the laws of Nature and our intended purpose by the creator as human beings to produce something that is fruitful or profitable for the whole of Humanity, and that is why I don't believe that is an unreasonable opinion that is not based on experience, but that is my belief and I would expect people to respect that and understand why I believe that, that is why I would never promote or condone that among anybody if I was asked about homosexuality, I do not push my beliefs on other people concerning homosexuality or tell homosexuals that they are wrong.
I am not somebody that treats other people unjust or unfairly based on their sex and as a male I do not attempt to vocalize opinions that are unreasonable and not based on experience about females.
I personally see women as equals to men, I'm Rastafari and He was crowned as an equal with his wife who received the feminine equivalent title and status and that is the first time it has ever been done in Ethiopian history, I see it to symbolize the equality of man and woman as one.
As for stereotyping women, I don't attempt to do that, although I may make mistakes in my perception sometimes, it is obvious that women and men have different traits and are naturally inclined more towards certain aspects and areas of function, this proves to be a great benefit when man & women come together as equals 1 complementing each other, as each other half's, as some might say, to complete a Oneness with balance in perfection.

My friends are real boboshanti rasta' Bobo hill is ten minutes away from where I live so Rastafariansm is an ever day reality for me ( I'm not a rasta as yet lol) and the narrative I hear constantly is that reggae music isn't Rasta music reggae and Rasta music is two different things real rasta's don't mix up in reggae because of narrative like what is being discussed here Rastafariansm is about life and homosexuality is the opposite of that so steel pulse needs back his brainwashed liberalism all the fucking way up ...I laugh at some of these reggae artist prancing around calling themselves Rasta and wearing locks it's all for show they don't actually live or practice none of what real Rastafarians do they some of the most vain people
Greetings. There's many mansions in Rastafari. Bobo is one of them. While i agree that reggae is not rastafari, many well known rastafari got involved in reggae. Bob Marley was member of the 12 tribes. Should we discard Bob Marley as real rasta because Bobo teachings?

I reject the term homophobic. NO ONE IS AFRAID of gays. People just don't agree with their lifestyle and many don't see it as beneficial to the community.
Still, I've seen where years ago, Buju couldn't get to perform because everywhere he performed the gay mafia would call the venue and threaten them etc. Steel Pulse knows that they would have less venues to perform at if they took a stance against it.
The gay mafia LOL.
But our creator is well pleased. And no one should ever force ones habits on others. Remember it was these same people who legitimize SLAVERY as law. We are no longer their slaves. We are a free people and we are quite capable of making our own decisions. Just like how britain made her decision to leave the EU. And bribes and threats never work. We are no longer your slaves. And the will of the almighty will ultimately prevail. My advise to you is to start reading your bible again and start listening to your conscience. When you are opposing nature youre not doing yourself any favour. Cause nature will ultimately react to your error until you learnl. Not your bag of money nor threats. And remember evey one will have to account for Everthing he does or says. See the condition the world is in at this very moment? Your money and wealth cant save you. What can save you is simply doing right things and youll ger right result. And stop being a hypocrite. Stop opposing yourselves. Stop your antichrist behavior.
