Bob Marley grand daughter experiences a taste of America. I wonder what would be Bob Marley reaction? A case of racial prejudice or unfortunate turn of events
Bob Marley grand daughter Donisha Prendergast and her friends experience a not to friendly side of America. After renting an upscale Airbnb apartment in Rialto , California they were greeted by hostile law enforcement official after a neighbor saw them leaving with their luggage. The fiasco all caught on tape as Donisha tried desperately to prove her innocence. What is even more troubling, the official police report deliberately cut out parts that seem to suggest that the neighbor who called the police were racially motivated. The story gets even funnier as folks are demanding an apology from from the three victims of the incident.
Probably its safe to say, if you are black and renting in an upscale neighborhood, a memo should be sent out informing the neighborhood or be greeted by not to friendly law officials who would not give you the privilege to prove your innocence. CNN correspondents caught up with three and their attorney as they discuss the matter

Whats sad about this incident, it keeps bringing up a reality that the color of your skin still matters. Bob Marley said in one of his song entitled "war" via the inspiration of Haile Selassie that is still relevant today and worthy attention.

As a society, white or black, we need to recognize these deficiencies in thinking and correct them. Can't afford to have a society who thinks in a particular way and acts on it. As a disciple of Bob Marley music, I got only love for everyone and I see this as an unfortunate event. What is important now is that we recognize these deficiencies especially in our own thinking and try to correct them.
This is beyond sad regardless of her background..
People are already tried and found guilty of trumped up charges committed in some other person’s small mind based on a singular reason: Skin color. Totally stupid.
Its left up to us to correct those deficiencies in thinking
That is just disgusting.
Shamefully to realize that racism remains to be such an active topic so often. Maybe our island 'look we can all easily live together'point of view clouded it a bit in a way that I am so hopefull that this can be possible anywhere and everywhere
I think we are many years away from that togetherness, the minds of the young and old are poison... People need to take the pill to really exalt themselves from that level of thinking....
