No mention of his racist views

Latest comment: 11 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The bit titled "Religion and beliefs" not only makes incorrect statements (what European dominance in African countries?) but also skirts around the fact that Marley was a racist who hated white people. Please rewrite this section to include his views on white people. This is especially relevant because the man was half-white himself. 2001:1C00:7303:EB00:50F2:FD6B:6B56:A7BE (talk) 10:50, 7 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

WE will add nothing without a published reliable source. We don't base content on the clearly uninformed opinions of random contributors. AndyTheGrump (talk) 11:05, 7 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
