What difference would it make
Is it cos Raheem Sterling was born in Jamaica? What happened to: “Out of Many One People”?
Ironically, while Raheem Sterling plays for England - half of Reggae Boys are British born.
No one reps JA harder than British Jamaicans - they have pictures of lions at home & Jamaican flags everywhere. Even the ones that are 5% Jamaican would throw hands if you tell them they’re not Jamaicans.
@Iceson BeckfordAnyway, I believe Bob Marley’s family is in-charge of the movie & they gave their blessings. So, I don’t think it’s that deep still.

Aren't they a bit too old now?
Correct me if i’m wrong but isn’t the youngest Marley son now older than his father was when he died?
Also contrary to popular belief, acting isn’t an easy job. Just because you may be related to someone doesn’t mean you can portray them or the studio’s interpretation of them. Acting takes a lot of hard work, double for biopics where you have to embody a nonfictional person

Acting is an art you dedicate your life to. Treating it like little more than a job you train for, for a few months, is exactly why American actors are struggling right now compared to British counterparts who go to acting school and do theatre work. The best actor gets most roles. That's not gonna be one of his sons after a few months of training.
The dude playing Marley is a British/Trini actor, drama school grad, been in multiple movies.

And New Yorkers. My Aunt is Jamaican, passport, cousins, fam, same last name and everything. I grew up with a lot of Jamaican friends.false guess you never been to canada

Never been.
However, I doubt they go hard as old South London esp. Brixton before gentrification & Handsworth. Most of the generation 40 & over can switch effortlessly from English to patois.
Not sure but I believe Bob Marley lived somewhere in London & Handsworth. And his career took off in the UK.
Regardless, stop the discrimination. As long you have ancestry in a place - that’s your heritage.

I love Jamaicans but that Out of Many motto is one of the corniest and embarrassing things in the islands. Place is like 98 percent Black and they're firmly at the bottom but love that motto.Is it cos Raheem Sterling was born in Jamaica? What happened to: “Out of Many One People”?

They'll accept some random Miss Chin and Uptown Whitey but let a British Jamaican say they're Jamaican and they'll start this shyt. All whilst accepting barrels and money.
That being said, Jamaican Diasporans sometimes do way too much
But... I aint Jamaican so I just leave them to it.
Typical diaspora vs home shyt that I never allow anyone to drag me into.
