So, no room for a Bob Marley T-Shirt at an amusement park in Montreal?

Well, Brunaud Moise, a medical technology specialist, alleges security guards targeted him because he is black and was wearing a Bob Marley T-shirt when security guards told him to cover up at Six Flags.

But what was the commotion all about? The cluster of green, marijuana shaped leaves that surround it, or BoB Marley's image ?

Moise doesn't know, so he plans to file a human rights complaint against the amusement park.

"The link is the association of blackness with deviance," said Anthony Morgan, a spokesman for Quebec's Centre for Research Action on Race Relations, the group representing Moise.

They insisted that it more than unfortunate, the park's alleged action is a violation of his human rights and it's discriminatory.

"The onus is on Six Flags to explain to me, the Marley family, fans of Bob Marley around the world, how this T-shirt is deemed 'inappropriate' to ordinary families," Moise said in a statement.

Six Flags' policy includes the enforcement of a strict dress code that states clothing with rude, vulgar or offensive language and graphics is not permitted at any time.

Moise, who was visiting the park with his teenage brother, also complied after the guards told him to turn his white T-shirt inside out.

He complied.

"Today, it is Bob Marley, tomorrow, it could be Malcolm X, next Erykah Badu or even Damien Marley," he said.

Moise, 32, is seeking moral and punitive damages from the Six Flags-owned park, as well as reimbursement for two entry tickets and a public apology for himself, his brother and Marley's family.

"The onus is on Six Flags to explain to me, the Marley family, fans of Bob Marley around the world, how this T-shirt is deemed 'inappropriate' to ordinary families," Moise said in a statement.

But a spokesman for the park said that only the pictures of pot leaves on the shirt were considered offensive under the Six Flags' corporate-wide dress code, not the Bob Marley image.
