The legendary Jamaican singer/songwriter was born to an English Jamaican father and a Black Jamaican mother. This was stated on his biography, The Words and Music of Bob Marley. As a youth he was a target of racial prejudice because of his mixed ancestry.
He was quoted saying “Me don’t dip on the black man’s side nor the white man’s side. Me dip on God’s side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.”

I think his father is was English not Jamaican I think he went back to England and left his mother in Jamaica after marrying her….my mother is Jamaican and my father is English and they have been married for 32 years :)!!!!! yeah white girls do hate on the Black woman White man scenario …. one love like Bob said “lets get together and feel all right”

Fia who are you to say what is defined as Black you can’t just make up stuff… I hate when people say things like that such as if you have a drop of black blood in your system your considered as black cause if that was the case then EVERYONE is black… Halle Berry came from a white womans womb is she white? is Barack Obama? Alicia Keys? ……..open your mind there is not just BLACK and WHITE

yes….the posted info on marley is INcorrect…his mother obviously was a black jamaican woman..but his father was actually a white english military man that did go back to england…ive known that since reading his biography at age twelve..kinda a shame that with the internet now..it shouldve been real easy to check that info before u posted it as facts
