He was born in Jamaica, but followed Rasta, or the Rastafari movement, is a religion and philosophy that accepts Haile Selassie I, the former (and last) emperor of Ethiopia, as Jah (the Rasta name for God incarnate, from a shortened form of Jehovah found in Psalms 68:4 in the King James Version of the Bible),

Bob Marley's dad is a white British military officer and his mom is a black Jamaican subsequently springing up Robert Nesta Marley! yet he likes to evaluate himself Ethiopian because of the fact he values that way of existence and the human beings

No he was not ethiopian born but through lineage yes, his mother was jamaican and his father was white. But in my eyes you are what your mother is. Everyone knows that a drop of black makes you black. In his case he had the whole bucket.
He talks of Ethiopia alot because that is the HOME OF ALL BLACKS THE MOTHERLAND.That is where the great Haile Selassie I is from Addis Abba, Ethiopia

No he is not. He is Jameican. Yes he did talk a lot about Ethiopea becasue he is Rasta, believer of Rastafarian religion in which Haile Salasie, the former ruler of Ethiopea is held high in the religion and believed to be "god", or incarnation of god.
