Actually, it's over ten years. When I took my
first steps in Cyberspace, it was 1996. One of the
first people I met over the Internet, was a guy
called Mark Mohr.
We both had dreads, and we both spoke about Jah
and Jesus Christ. We were both playing Reggae
Music. We both thought that we had found someone
who was on the same road, but it soon turned out
that we were wrong.
He was on his way to create a "Gospel
Reggae" branch in the Christian Industrial
Complex, and I was on my way to start a website
that would promote Reggae Music. He was busy
stealing and imitating my Culture, and my
spiritual Identity too, in order to make himself a
name and fame in the Contemporary Christian Music
(CCM) Industry, and I wasn't aware of this at
first.
At first, I thought that Mohr was just another
American guy full of ignorance, and just needed to
know a few things so that he would know that there
was no reason whatsoever to separate himself from
Reggae Culture in order to be able to praise the
Lord Jah in his music.
After a decade, I know better. Mohr never
intended to be part of that culture. He intended
to plunder it, and even infect it with a
Babylonian form of "Christianity" that
basically says you go to hell if you don't go to
the Babylon Church and worship the Pastor and the
President.
There is a Gospel Reggae Industry, Mark Mohr
sells almost half a million copies of his works,
while living gay in one of Los Angeles' most
expensive neighborhoods. He writes negative
articles about Yabby You, the Iriginal Yesus
Dread, while claiming to be the "founder,
leader and pioneer" of something he calls
"gospel reggae".
And indeed, he is.
Mind you, though: "Gospel Reggae"
definitely is NOT the same as Spiritual Reggae
created by Dreadlocksmen who love Yesus
Kristos.
People like Yabby You, for example.
According to Mark Mohr, the products in his
marketplace are the "true Christian"
alternative to "the ever enigmatic Yabby You
and Messian Dread". He even tells people that
God would never want them to buy any other Reggae
Music than that which he sells on his
"sanctified" webstore.
The Gospel Reggae Industry has become well
established, as throughout the years many joined
Mohr in his enterprise. I tried to reach out to
what I thought were my brothers and sisters in
Yesus Kristos and warn them for the true identity
of the Gospel Reggae Industry and her
"Founder and Pioneer", but all I met was
a Deja-Vu.
