THE REGGAE COMPASSIONATE ACT'

We, the artists of the Reggae community, hereby present this letter as a symbol of our dedication to the guiding principles of Reggae's enduring foundation ONE LOVE. Throughout time, Reggae has been recognized as a healing remedy and an agent of positive socialchange.
We will continue this proud and righteous tradition.

Reggae Artists and their music have fought against injustices, inequalities, poverty and violence even while enduring some of those same circumstances themselves. Over the years, reggae music has become popularized and enjoyed by an unprecedented audience all over the world. Artists of the Reggae Community respect and uphold the rights of all individuals to live without fear of reprisals due to religion, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity or gender.

While we recognize that our artistic community comprises many different individuals who express themselves in different ways and hold a myriad of beliefs, we believe firmly that the way forward lies in tolerance. Everyone can keep his own conviction and we must receive respect for our freedom of speech as far as we respect the law, but it must be clear there's no space in the music community for hatred and prejudice, including no place for racism, violence or homophobia.

We do not encourage nor minister to HATE but rather uphold a philosophy of *LOVE,* *RESPECT *and* UNDERSTANDING* towards all human beings as the cornerstone of reggae music.

This Compassionate Act is hereby calling on a return to the following principles as the guiding vision for the future of a healthy Reggae music community:

* Positive Vibrations
* Consciousness raising
* Social and Civic Engagement
* Democracy and Freedom
* Peace
* Mother Nature
* Equal Rights and Justice
* One Love
* Individual Rights
* Humanity

We, as artists, are committed to a holistic and healthy existence in the world and respect to the utmost the human and natural world. We pledge that our music will continue to contribute positively to the world dialogue on peace and justice for all.

To this end we agree not to perform any music or lyrics that is directed towards anyone or anything, that may be called an incitement to kill anyone from any community, or goes against the laws of the country we are to perform.

*ONE LOVE*

11 May 2007

I am writing on behalf of the Stop Murder Music Campaign.

We regard this statement as a important reaffirmation of the humanitarian and liberation principles that inspired the early reggae pioneers - the desire for a peaceful, just and hate-free world.

The Reggae Compassionate Statement's rejection of racism, homophobia and sexism is an important milestone. We rejoice at its commitment to music without prejudice.

We are delighted that the Reggae Compassionate Statement* has been signed by Beenie Man, Capleton and Sizzla. Their disavowal of homophobia and other prejudices is a very welcome move. Although some artists did not stick to previous agreements, we accept that these three singers want to move on and put homophobia behind them.

By signing the Reggae Compassionate Statement they are stating that, in future, they will not release new homophobic songs or authorise the re-release of previous homophobic songs. Moreover, they also agree that they will not make homophobic public statements.*In other words, they recognise that prejudice, hate and violence have no place in music – that singers should unite not divide, and uplift not put down, people of all races and sexualities.

This agreement applies throughout the world – not just in Europe and the US, but also in Jamaica and the Caribbean.

If these three singers abide by their signed statements to avoid homophobic words and lyrics worldwide, we have no objections to their concerts going ahead. We will call off the campaign to cancel their concerts, and advise all our constituent and allied groups around the world to do the same.

We will review this decision in six months time, with a commitment to making it a permanent end to the campaign against these three singers. So long as they stick to the agreement, we will honour our commitment to halt the campaign against them.

We hope that the other five "murder music" singers - Elephant Man, TOK, Bounty Killa, Vybz Kartel and Buju Banton - will also soon sign the Reggae Compassionate Statement. When they do so, we will also call off the campaign against their concerts. Until that time, the campaign against them will continue.

We hold out the hand of reconciliation and friendship to all these singers. We are ready to put the past behind us. We hope they are too; in which case, their careers will flourish with our approval and support.

It is our belief that the struggle for black freedom, women's freedom and gay freedom are different aspects of the same struggle for universal human rights. Racism, misogyny and homophobia are triple evils that must be challenged and defeated, so that all people on this planet - including in the Caribbean - can live their lives free from abuse, threats, discrimination and violence.

United we stand, divided we fall!
Peter Tatchell and Dennis Carney
 
Beenie Man has already been on Irie FM claiming that he never signed anything...If y'all know Betweenie, you know he's a pathological liar....

The More Dem Try-Lyrics

Yo yeh the whole trick of divide and rule is still valid today in the west so dem say divide them and incite dem against each other encourage murder among themselves. And them say murder among black cases should bear a very little punishment you know what I’m saying. Then them implement methods like fertility to destruction, fertility destroyer, so they shall smuggle the drugs through the boose and through the drinks and through the food and through the channels of blackness will reduce the population and there are also investigating the merit of uterus rentals through surrogate mothers to speed up the growths of their population. So why doeth knoweth all the reality of life and still try to oppose the fire and me say some man weh say dem is rasta and suppose to uphold the fire but them try to oppose the fire


The more them try to kill we the more we get stronger
more them try to weed we a de more we get stronger
More them try fi fool we ah di more we get wiser
Fire get redder
Unno see’t
A de more them try stop we a di more we reach further
More them try fi kill we a di more we live longer
More dem try fi beat me a di more me get stronger
Caan cool the fire get redder

It's a pity we can't get some of those gays to stop using the "N" word......



:smh:
 
:smh: :smh:

Money or the pursuit of truly is the root of all evils. These bredren now all of a sudden change their ways?? What just so that they can perform in certain countries? :smh:
Capleton and Sizzla shock me most though. How these men gonna cop out just like that. If you have something that you feel and know to be true for you how are you gonna let yourself get caught up. I am all for peace,compassion and conscious vibes but.. as Bounty say...mi cant believe mi eyes

Whoooa.. you guys need to grow up on that Gay hate shit.

out of all people, Black people should know what its like to be discriminated against.

The situation regarding the hate of a race cannot and shouldn't be compared to that of homosexuality. Notice there's no mentioning of physical violence against homosexuals but it should be understood that there is no comparison between racism and hate of homosexuality.
 
:smh: :smh: :smh: Am reading this and all the responses and telling myself this is just a hoax!....I hope it is....If true, That's it for me with Capleton...I wouldn't say I'll throw out all the CDs I've got of his songs but that"s it! No more making no sellout make money off of me :angry: :angry: :angry: I dont care so much for Beenieman any way...Sizzla...well, I always "doubted" his loyalty to the "cause" Though he's alright.
:smh: :smh: :smh: :angry: :angry:
Mi cyan beeleev dis!
 
Unfortunately reggae is not as powerful as Rap!! And these guys have got to eat.

Let this be lesson We straights have once again underestimated just how powerful the faggot crew are. Faggots are everywhere and they are quietly influencing policy where ever they can. While we buy new 22s.
 
Faggots run the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reggae/Dancehall = as bad as Hip-Hop now.
Whatever it takes to make money. Fuck what you stand for.
 
That is why they need to folow the African tradition more closely and speak in parables.

Up to now they still trying to figure out Bob Marley.

Sizzla I could see because he fucked up and signed with damon Dash at a time.

He also sand "Rastamn nah apologize to no batty bwoy" so I don't understand if that was before or after this document.

Capleton however, the fireman?????

We need some wariors fuh real.

How come they ain't ban the Pope yet???????
 
Beenie will sign anything, even Sizzla have he dotish moments...but Capleton?

I hadda see proof of dat last one.
 
they had a little report say Congo Judah from Kalonji camp and Judgement Yard deny he sign the sheet.

Capleton & Sizzla promoting a show big show in July at California so I doubt they'll comment on it themself until then, Capleton even perform at that show

Well the above statement is an example of where homosexuals get their support from.
The disease of homosexual spreading through misplaces compassion for them.

What other forms of deviant behavior will you except bestiality, is pedophilia also acceptable behavior in your eyes?
:smh: :smh: :smh: :smh: :smh: :smh: :smh: :smh: :smh:
Instead of upholding the Idea that homosexuality is a socially rejected behavior, Beenie Man, Sizzla and Capleton have signed up to embrace it.

What a shame.

They can sign what they like.They don't speak for West Indian culture.
Which will never accept or embrace homosexuality.

We discriminate all the time in life it helps to live longer

Discriminate: to make a distinction in favor of or against a person or thing on the basis of the group, class, or category to which the person or thing belongs rather than according to actual merit; show partiality:

It's not a crime to have a social discrimination.

Making it clear to homosexual that they are not socially accepted in my culture, is not the same as me tell a white employee, "pack your shit i no longer employ whites."
I have no clue what types of sexual behavior another person is involved in unless they tell me.
If your working for me and your homosexual I won't ask and you better not tell me.
 
the next thing u kow these fags will come with a petition to post on BGOL w/o getting banned :smh:
bun batty boy forever! woman mek mi happy and joyful!
 
These niggas just wanna sell more records cos they realised that those fags make it a point to do their best to bring you down if u got anti-gay lyrics. Thats how Shabba ranks lost his fame cos the fags came after him so hard he just dropped off. Recently Sizzla was refused entry into europe cos they said he had anti-gay lyrics.These niggas gotta eat man, of course they'd rather not incur the wrath of the fags than to get them pissed cos faggotism has a long fucking arm and they will do whatever the fuck necessary to bring down these reggae artists :D :D :D

i don't agree with limiting freedom of speech, but most reggae artists or artists in general make the majority of their money touring in north america and europe. you shut that down and their income decreases drastically. they trying to make pounds, euro, franks, yen, and dollars.

Man fuck that.

the caribbean alone have enough people to buy records and have concerts.

They are not supposed to be singing for the money anyway. It is not about getting rich.

It is about overstanding the livity and burning out the folly.

As Ogsta said it is illegal in a lot of countries in the caribbean.

Man, they trying to make the caribbean a gay haven...............:smh::smh::smh:

I hear ya, but even Bob Marley wasn't a huge star in Ja until he had become an international star first. The real money is in Europe and Asia when it comes to the music. Caribbean artists really don't make any serious money in the caribbean itself.
 
This is propaganda more fuel for the fire. No matter how you feel about gay's. I'm for rights of everybody but don't go signing agreements saying what you can and cant say. People just letting them take our rights 1 agreement at a time. :smh: WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!
