I thought it was quite interesting actually.

Some simple looking white guy spawned one of the greatest icons of the 20th century.

Some "simple looking white guys" actually spawned loads of the greatest icons of the 20th Century.

Like, for example, all the white ones.

His father, Norval Sinclair Marley, was a white Jamaican of English descent whose family came from Essex, England. Norval was a captain in the Royal Marines, as well as a plantation overseer, when he married Cedella Booker, an Afro-Jamaican then 18 years old.[8] Norval provided financial support for his wife and child, but seldom saw them, as he was often away on trips. In 1955, when Marley was 10 years old, his father died of a heart attack at age 60.[9] Marley faced questions about his own racial identity throughout his life.

We stay winning.
