Marley was Jamaican, but also has Ethiopian blood (as well as Scottish, but their runners suck)
British, yes. Ethiopean, no.
He had Ethiopian on his mother's side. Her family was originally from there and relocated to Jamaica. .
She was born in Jamaica. Her ancestors came from the Gold Coast, not Ethiopia, 200 years earlier.
Her father's side was, her mother's side was Ethiopian. I didn't say she was born in Ethiopia, stupid.
Additionally Bob spent much time in Ethiopia. His spiritual beliefs were rooted in Ethiopian culture.

Instead of insults, why don't you post a link corroborating your claim of the mother's ancestry. I've checked several generations on genealogy.com and there's nothing there from outside of the island.

what is it about the words "her ancestors" that you don't understand, stupid?
Regardless, rastafarianism is rooted from the story of Ethiopia's emperor Haile Selassie
Regardless is right.
What is it about the words 'you're a retard' you don't understand, shtbrain?
Genealogy.com? lol! Might as well check the latest horoscope
Try Bob's biography.

Yes and he died a Christian not a Rastfarian. He was baptized about a year before his death. Eithiopian orthodox I believe.

Kerron Stewart
Scottish sprinters are great
I wouldn't call Kerron Stewart great. She has never won an individual gold and really had only two good years where she was at the top. After 2009 injuries derailed her and she has not been the same since.
Bob's mother (Cedella) had no Ethiopian roots in her. I think the thread opener is confused because Cedella probably belonged to the Ethiopian Orthodox church. Lots of Jamaicans of her generation have emotional ties to Ethiopia because of Haile Selassie's . But almost no Jamaicans have Ethiopian roots.
I think I'll take Bob Marley's word over yours. Read the bio
I have read lots about Mrley, including his bios. I've never seen any mention of his mother having Ethiopian ancestry. You're full of shit. Produce a link, or STFU.
You haven't read anything about Marley or you would know. I doubt if you have the attention span to read beyond 3 sentences. Kill yourslf, you moronic shtbrain

Bob would not be proud of you right now.
Peace, Love, Dope.
