Bob Marley rare funeral footage 11th May 1981 🇯🇲

No one like him. today, tomorrow or forever

Bob Marley was once asked if there was a perfect woman. He replies:

“Who cares about perfection? Even the moon is not perfect, it is full of craters.

The sea is incredibly beautiful, but salty and dark in the depths.

The sky is always infinite, but often cloudy.

So, everything that is beautiful isn't perfect, it's special.

Therefore, every woman can be special to someone.

Stop being "perfect", but try to be free and live, doing what you love, not wanting to impress others”

Keep resting legend 🖤🤎

kings and queens being forced into brutality

black people and their bodies being forced into brutality will always pain me to a certain degree.

our hair is so precious that we need to wear literal silk to go to sleep with.

not only that but our hair are quite literal plants too.

works of art as well.

try and tell me otherwise.

so sensitive that you can’t even wash them every single day.

like most plants, you can’t water them every day.

right?

but also so versatile and bendable to our liking.

our skin needs oils and butters to be properly taken care of.

shea butter, jojoba oil, olive oil, cocoa butter, rosemary, coconut oil and the list goes on.

children of the sun!

because instead of getting red under it, we simply glow and shine brighter.

and melanin is worth millions too. more than gold even.

look it up.

people kill and traffic for it.

huh.

and then comes around slavery and all the rest, putting us into this very unfavorable position.

against our nature and will.

black people definitely weren’t meant for struggle and suffering or violence.

the most disrespected of them all, depending on where you go.

loving everything about us except us.

at least that’s what i believe.

that’s not how we were meant to live.

simultaneously admired and envied, yet clearly repulsed.

we were literally built for luxury and comfort.

kings and queens being forced into brutality.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ANCIENT KEMITES OR REMETCH (EGYPTIANS) & KUSHITES (NEHESY)

The Nehesy are Kushites, southern neighbors to Kemet. Punt is also referred to as the “land of the horizon-dwellers". Another name for Punt was, "Ta-Netjer" which translates to "Land of the gods". Many scholars suggest Punt Land (Modern day Horn of Africa region) is the origin of the Kemetic people. “Between the twin mountains of the Moon.”

"Herodotus also remarked on the shared cultural practices between Egyptians and Ethiopians as he states: “I myself guessed it to be so, partly because they are dark-skinned and woolly-haired..” - Herodotus

GENETIC SIMILARITIES BETWEEN KEMITES & KUSHITES:

"The process of the peopling of the Nile Valley likely shaped the population structure and early biological similarity of Kemites and Kushites…"

In 2005, Dr. Keita proffered a novel method to view Nubian-Egyptian relationships; he suggested that military interactions could not alone account for the biological similarities among the two populations. Rather, Keita (2005) saw the relationship as a continuum, dating back to the late Pleistocene and mid-Holocene, placing importance on the peopling of the Nile Valley as the initial cause for genetic similarity…

"The long history of contact between Egypt and Nubia is documented in the archaeological record…The extensive contact has led to detectable genetic and therefore skeletal and dental similarities among the two populations."

"King of Upper Kemet…Beautiful is the Ka-Soul of Ra who appears in Waset".
