JY - what did Charles L. the dreadlocks guy, Executive Producer on TMZ sey bout dat comment? I understand that his family is Jamaican. He didn't have anything to add? We are all having a ball about the Pope and cardinals and sometimes Jews and think nothing of it (even on this said site) until a comment is made which is close and dear to our heart and then it is offensive. Like the man say up a top - all religions are fair game to ridicule - if you laugh at one den it is reasonable that you should be able to laugh at all of them except as Gen sey those that fly plane and bunn fire we have to be extra careful not to upset them. Aye sah donkey sey the werl no level.Comment

They included him in the skit if u watch the video...typical sellout probably...excusing the denigration of his people in order to keep his job...this was an insult to him as well...Originally posted by St_Bess View Post

But I thought TMZ had a dread locs (and I know many N'Americans think having locs and being a rasta is one and the same) wearing guy on their 'in front of the camera' staff? ...Comment

I know this is offensive however I can't help but think "we" help to build the stereotypical image that other view "rastas" and "rastafari". Go into any tourist shop in the Caribbean and there trinkets, carvings, painting figurines etc of "rastas" in various sexual positions or smoking weed. This enforces whatever stereotypes that are in the media.Out of Many One People Online

Depends on who is "we"...Originally posted by Xavier View Post
The gov't and non-rasta jamaicans have no problem profiting from rasta image or denigrating rasta image whenever it suits them...many jamaicans have a deep hatred of rastafariComment

I agree that many "non-rasta" profit off rastafari including some "so called Rastas". This I believe is also a dilemma as no one truly knows who is a "Rastafarian". With Rastafari being of the "heart" anyone can claim it and profit from it.Originally posted by jah_yout View PostOut of Many One People Online

i doubt the guy on the show is a "rastaguy"....Originally posted by Suesumba View Post
If even Jamaicans don't know the difference between a rastafari and a person who just wears locks
I can imagine others...the guy needs his job so probably skin teeth with them as they mocked himComment
