Instead you feel the need to use this opportunity to disrespect Jamaicans. Why cant you engage in a somewhat intelligent dialogue like everyone else? It is ok to disagree with what others say. However this can be done without the disrespects and name calling. You need to get into the habit of intelligently reasoning things out and at the same time maintain your composure. It is poeple like you that fight in the club because someone steps on your white shoes. Let us respect each other please... even when we disagree with each other...

By footprints1_tok @ dacula GA US  Thursday, June 22, 2006   Jamiee Fox portraying Bob Marley Bob Marley was a rastafarian that definately had some handsome and talented sons. Kymani Marley was an excellent actor in the movie "One Love." I have not seen any of the other sons in an acting role. If I had to nominate someone it would definately be Kymani Marley. I am totally in Awe with Damian Marley and beleive me a sistren is interested, but back to the topic. I wonder what are Bob Marley children's view on this topic that would be an interesting piece to talk about. HINT HINT. BLESS By dramaqt1 @ Brooklyn NY US  Thursday, June 22, 2006   OH no Mek Jamie go sidung he too nuff. There is no way Jamie can portray the life of the legend Bob Marley. What jamaican's cahn read or act ? I think its a good idea to have a movie but not an excellent idea to use Jamie. Its bad enough americans ridicule our accent and culture. Having him play such a big part. Is a mockery.!!!! By Shacky1 @ Newcastle DE US  Thursday, June 22, 2006   no no no way no no no way jamie ca play bob no day jamie ca talk like bob so mi a sa it better dem mek him son ziggy play bob and done, rita yo a try tek rasta fi pussy howl. yo a try fi tek bob from wi hard it look like yo no want fi see little jamaica sovive By schoolboy @ galtegobay MD JM  Thursday, June 22, 2006   Rita Marley No disrespect to Jamie Foxx but I think that he is not capable of playing the role of the late great Bob. I think that Rita's main concern is about money and not really showing people what Bob's life was like. I think she should try to focous on what she is doing and make the right decission before it's too late. By 2 hot @ hempstead NY US  Thursday, June 22, 2006   Bredrin CANNOT portray di Great Bob I don't care if him win OScar or whatever. He looked like Ray Charles. How the hell will he portray a Jamaican legacy that was of mixed race? What Rita guh do??? Put a wig pon him head. She gotta be kidding me yo0o. I have yet to see an American use Patois and make it seem authentic. Therefore, I agree that one of his children can play his part. Who else know how their father spoke out His Majesty, Jah Rastafari. Even Twins of Twins can do better!!! Blessed By HumbleDawta @ Miami FL US  Thursday, June 22, 2006   No to Jamie Playing Bob Marley I am not against Jamie Foxx as an award winning actor, but the fact that he played Ray Charles he did an excellent Job and to go ahead and protray another music star would down play the message of the Bob Marley story. Once is enough. Again, I think if Rita wanted to really protray Bob, she should look no further than the family, those Sons are the replica of their Dad, not only in looks, but action, song, and believes. All she had to do was let them take a few acting lesson, and it wouldn't need that much because those are Bob kids and when u see them you see him. It is not a matter of whether Jamie is Jamaican or not for me, it is a matter of fact that he is so overly expose and the fact that he will protray another music legend. I think they need to look elsewhere. By Sweetdstdiva @ Lawrenceville GA US  Thursday, June 22, 2006   C Rock You are very belligerent and out of order to refer to Jamaicans as fools, you are the fool! What Jamaicans are saying is: why not look arround for an actor from Jamaica first to give that notoriety, before you look outside."Jamie Foxx" is a good actor, we all take that as a given, but there are also aspiring Jamaican actors also, why not give them a chance! If Jamaicans are a stupid, then "Rita Marley" is a stupid too, she is a Jamaican too, so maybe you are right. By lincoln @ Toronto CA  Thursday, June 22, 2006   jamaicans Get off jamie foxx dick , he can play who ever he wants to play as long he gets the job, he is an actor he have to make a living you fools so get off his dick . you people can't tell who can play who , all you can do is see the movie and if you like it no one cares and if you don't no one cares he is still geting paid fools .

By c-rock @ NWK NJ US  Thursday, June 22, 2006   NO DISRESPECT NO DISRESPECT TO JAMIE FOXX, BUT DEM ALREADY MAKE AMERICANS STEREOTYPING JAMAICANS AS SOME WITCH CRAFT, EGG KISSING, STUPID PEOPLE, WHO ONLY KNOW FI SEH "YAH MAN" AND SMOKE WEED. WE NEED A JAMAICAN TO PLAY THIS ROLE, WE HAVE SO MANY TALENTED JAMAICAN ACTORS THERE, RITA CAN CAN MORE THAN FIND ONE OF THEM TO ACT AS BOB MARLEY. FOR EXAMPLE, COOL RUNNINGS, LOOK WAT THEY DID TO US, WE DONT EVEN TALK LIKE DAT. LET ONE OF HIS OWN SON DO IT, OR A FIND A JAMAICAN ACTOR. A MEAN SMADDY WHO CAN CHAT SOME PATWA, NO AMERICAN PRETENDIN TO BE JAMAICAN. THE BEST PERSON TO PLAY A JAMAICAN ROLE IS A JAMAICAN. By footprints1_tok @ dacula GA US  Thursday, June 22, 2006   Bob Marley I'm not disagreeing with all of u but don't u think that with Jamie Fox playing the role of Bob Marley will help to develop the genre a bit more. He is not Jamaican but he's black and with a few lessons he can learn our culture and way of talking. I understand all of what y'll are saying but don't just judge him because he's not Jamaican, look what he did with the Ray Charles Bio. Please consider him By sabrina @ London GB  Wednesday, June 21, 2006   Wait hold up! Alright I have to say Rita is taking Bob's memory down the wrong path. I just came back from Jamaica and visited the Marley museum and that museum is nothing that Bob would do. The prices for food are rediculous. Bob wanted to been seen and hear by all, he wasn't a thief. He didn't dig in your pockets. The choice for Jammie Foxx has to be about money. I'm tired of all the Ms. Kleo fake accents out there...it's insulting to every Jamaican. The only way it works to have Jamie Foxx play Bob is if he is playing him when he just started singing because he wasn't a Rasta then, had no dreds and just wore suits. Still you can get a talented Jamaican to play the role. By RunmanJr2 @ Brooklyn NY US  Wednesday, June 21, 2006   Wha kinna ting dat yuh can't mek jamie fox play bob marley, first of all jamie a nuh jamaican, him can't talk like we, what happen to bob marley song dem, one of dem is an actor, we have jamaican actors, but overall i think ziggy a the best man for it, yuh can't disgrace we jamaicans like dat, i dont think bob marley himself would appreciate dat.

First you tried shipping him off to Ethiopia and now you want an American to play his his life before he became famous. What happen to Jamaican actors? His own son is an actor let him do it. With all due respect Jamie this one is definately not for you... cant you see. The very thought of this is a mockery to the Icon and every Jamaican. Americans who try to speak patois are very annoying and it just does not flow. Rita you are making the $ get the better of you. Jamie must not go to nine miles in St Ann. Wake up Rita the people are losing respect for you very rapidly By wonderland @ Tor CA  Tuesday, June 20, 2006   Heck no, no, no, no!! So far I haven't been convinced by any of the actors that have tried to sound Jamaican in the more popular movies. I hate to say this, but sista Rita, it must be the money. Please J.Fox back off and let a true born Yardie play this role. Maybe you can play Richie Stevens but please don't do Bob. I don't doubt your talent J.Fox, but brotha Bob is a massive Icon. He's not just the man, he is the people. I remember watching Cool Runnings and everytime they said something, I could only imagine a Jamaican saying it in a different way. People from the caribbean have a totally different way of speaking. For example, we say boom clap clap, boom clap clap, that's reggae, In the US you say Boom boom clap, Boom boom clap, that's Hip-Hop. Again, you say, "you feel me", and we say "you hear me", and I don't want to hear another bad Jamacian accent, at lease not from one of my favorite actors. I hope you understand J.Fox. Much love.
