Buju Banton (‘One love?’, MCV #371, Thursday February 14) continues to
promote genocide against gay persons, most recently at a concert in
Guyana in October 2007. Furthermore, he denied signing the [Reggae
Compassionate Act] statement. He is a disgusting piece of garbage.
Furthermore, his agent promised the press before the concert that Buju
wouldn’t be playing any of his murder music. She is a liar too. Virtually all the Jamaican artists that ‘signed’ the Reggae Compassionate Act have disavowed it. Jamaica is a sick country with the highest murder rate in the world. And there is absolutely no response from the police to the avalanche of anti-gay violence. The ministers and the politicians are silent. I guess they support murdering gays too. And from the pronouncements of Rastafarians, I’d include them in this group too. This isn’t about same-sex marriage, it’s about murder. Rampant murder. Tolerated by society, the police, and the government. But there is something we can do in the US and Australia. Stop buying Jamaican products. Tell Diageo that we won’t buy any more Guinness or Red Stripe or Baileys if they continue to sponsor murder music concerts (as they did in December 2007 at the Sting concert in Portmore, Jamaica. Tell Puma that we won’t buy their products if they sponsor the Jamaica brand. Jamaica isn’t changing, it’s getting worse there. But civilized people don’t have to feed such a disgusting culture. Banton should be banned from entering western countries as he is an advocate of terrorism against LGBT persons. And I would put Vybz Kartel, Capelton, Lutan Fyah, Beenie Man, TOK, and Sizzla in the same group. Tom, Houston via www.eevolution.com.au
