Prince Selassie Visits Jamaica

[franksterr]

PRINCE Ermias Sahle Selassie, grandson of Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I, arrived in the island yesterday to much fanfare among the local Rastafarian community.
Prince Ermias, who was accompanied by his wife Princess Saba Kebede, is here on a three-day visit to participate in activities to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his grandfather’s visit.
Hundreds of Rastafarian men, women and children flocked Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston, where the ‘prince’ arrived on a flight from the United States at minutes before noon.
But the Rastafarians, who were beating drums, chanting verses, and smoking marijuana, said the gathering was nothing compared to what was seen half-a-century ago.

On that's a rap.. Earl Moxam post d a radio clip of the ceremony in More bay where HIM made a.speech. The describer of the evening ntw was David Ebanks. HIM made.the speech in Amheric , then his translator spoke for twice as long as the god.

Now this message s the second time I heard the speech... Selassie was diplomatic but he was an apologist for British colonialism.... A different time when we tried to be who we were not...
