No doubt Rastafari was seen as an embarrassement to some people in Jamaica government - until the tourists' (dollars) started showing an interest.
....this wicked and mischievous activity must come to an end. These people-and I am glad that it is only a small number of them- are the wicked enemies of our country. They do great harm to your name ; it is tragic that this sort of thing should be happening just when we are on the verge of becoming an independent people....
....I want to ask every citizen to assist our government in protecting the reputation and name of Jamaica. I ask you all to report any unusual or suspicious movements you may see pertaining to the Rastafarians. Make this your duty. Report whatever it is to the proper authority , and if need be, to the nearest police station.

No doubt about that,it was not a secret,it wasnt only manley that opposed rastafarianism,the majority of the population saw it as an embarassment to society.
However,manley and the rest of jamaican society need not have worry,if manley had lived till today he would have asked what all the fuss was about,althouh still a small minority, <span style="font-weight: bold">true</span> rastafarians have grown to be a part of jamaican society and have managed to exist in jamaica and become a part of jamaican culture.
What is probably the most annoying off shoot of rastafarianism is the numerous wanabees,the idiots who refuse to comb their hair,the fashion dreads,the knotty heads,the also rans who is simply in need of a good comb out who call themselves "ras",yet if you go down the butchers they would be the first one pushing you out the queue to get to that nice leg of pork,...or the ones who profess to be a "ras" yet harbour the most obnoxious prejudices and hate,and justify it in the name of their "faith"......yeah,....whateva !!

Since at that time in Jamaica's historty tourism was not that important.
It was based on thei anti monarchy and pro African phylosophy They also was open public and unapologetic about it too.
Independence then to the politicians, was about self government than it ws about being a republic.
One of the reason was that Jamaican politicians then were wary of any attraction of the USA. Since they all knew that the US promptly took posession of CUBA and Peurto Rico after they gained independence from Spain and kept them as colonies since then.
As to their colonization of latin America, that was another reason.

does that excuse what the prime minister advocated against the rastafarians?
or was it ok as long as they were not 'true' ras?
and who is the final judge to determine who was true and who were the 'idiots'?
i guess your knowledge of 'rastafarianism' is based on the eating of pork?
it's a clever tactic to change the subject by turning the negative light on the victims of injustice rather than the perpetrators
