no one selected selassie...it was prophecy from thousands of years involving ethiopia, africa, and the lion of the tribe of judah...
selassie-- an ethiopian-african man...fulfilled the mission regardless of his skin tone...again africans are the most diverse on the planet &amp; ethiopia the most diverse in africa;

it's obvious you have some overstanding to do when it come on to rastafari...

it bun out racism, not uphold it...
it defends the mother- africa--- it does not specify that only certain shades of dark brown can qualify for african unity </div></div>

it just so happened that ras tafari happened to be the one who fit the crown &amp; crowned last emperor of the ancient solomonic dynasty...the lionof the tribe of judah--- prophecy;
no one else no where else fulfilled that prophecy...so your 'selected' interpretation is way off the mark...
and 'god' is a generic word misunderstood &amp; misinterpreted by most people suh wi don't even bother with the 'god' thing...we deal with the power of the trinity--- the literal meaning of the name haile selassie...the trinity being man woman &amp; child also parent, offspring, &amp; ka (spirit-soul)

i've been trying to hammer this point across...that afrika is the most diverse of continenets in terms of human variation;
some think all africans are blue-black with one type of hair texture---HOGWASH!!

or the other extreme of denying someone else's heritage based on the tone of their skin or hair </div></div>

the majority of africa's diverse features is not a result of race-mixing;
the dinka look very different from the zulu who look different from the baka...
jamaicans are also not a homogeneous people...we are made up of not only different african nations, but the majority african gene pool also had an infusion of other 'races' within the overall pool...

rastafari has always been on the cutting edge of afrikan liberation thought...so ras ta-far-I place within the struggle done seal up...I and I never deny the king nor queen omega

Re: colorism jam.com styleee

jamaica's colorism can not be seen in a vacuum...

this earth is run on mind control...if the hidden hand can convince some of the people that they are superior or inferior based on skin color or hair texture or facial feautures or height or such things, then they already control half of their minds...the rest won't be hard;
once the ones assigned to an inferior position begin to accept it, then they have already been bought...

the black/african human will not rise to his/her potential if he/she continues to accept the philosophy of his/her own inferiority...

this is the colorism &amp; every other 'ism' problem that african descendants in jamaica or anywhere else for that matter have

You're not going to get a proper discussion about the issue on this site, blu.

Other than that, I have no direct experiences of colorism, but have witnessed it directed against others in informal situations.

Was there any follow-up in the papers about the interview where it was said that employers often tell agencies to only send applicants who are brownings?

dat wan aff de reason mii using bob marley ann da wailers as wan xxample aff colorism. bob marley faddar wass a overseer. durinn slaveree illegitimate mixxed race aff mzungu wass given special priviledges ann dem wass given leadership roles. so dem grew upp feelinn superior cah dem add lita skin. dat y inn jamaica yu ave manee lite skinn ann darker skinn blakks seekinn status ann acknowledgement boastinn dat dem ancestors were oyinbo.

tink bout bob marley. imm inna a group widd two addar dark skinned blakk men cawl de wailers. de group went to a rich oyinbo, blakkwell, fe tri fe mekk more money. blakkwell look at de group ann made de lita skinn bob marley da lead singer cah imm knew dat de lita skinned wan sing bout bunninn fiyah pon babylon wass more marketable to oyinbo dan de tall dark skinn man widd da bettar voice. mii argument dat baddar peeps iss dat mii arguinn dat marley wass sing bout until da color aff a man skin iss no more significant dan de color aff imm yeyes even dough imm benefited fram colorism. da marley xxample chatt bout oww oyinbo affect oyinbo, dark skinned blakks ann lite skin blakks.

well i was in jamaica in the ghetto areas in the 70's &amp; early 80's and i know for a fact that the grassroot ghetto jamaican had mad love for bob marley...plus my mon knew and respected him...suh babylonia propaganda &amp; tricknology naw cloud I mind...

sah wat mii chattinn bout iss colorism inn da music industree dat made itt nessceecary fe da mixxed race lita skinned marley fe bee da lead singer aff da wailers ann oww dat force tosh ann bunny to da side. whitewell ann dem addar producers now a days wey bigg upp lita blakk skinn artists att de xxpense aff darkka skinn blakk artists know da realitee wii livinn inn wey lita skinn equal a greata chance aff success.

da colorism argument iss dat lita skin iss equated to greata success. texx itt even furdar sum peeps even wandar y vibz bleach ignorinn da realitee da de histaree aff de wailers show dat oyinbo charactaristic ar more valued bye oyinbo society ann sum blakks. dat y vibz feel itt okay fe sell cake soap ann addar products fe mekk dark skinn peeps look less blakk. mii even ear wan dark skinn yuth defendinn vibz bleachinn as look oww much more successful mj became aftah imm bleach. still mii knoo sum peeps will still deny dat color add anneeting fe doo widd marley success

wance itt became bob marley ann da wailer dat created division ann led to canflict dat strenghten da oyinbo hand at de blakk men xxpense. dat iss da goal aff colorism fe create division mong blakks ann lead blakks unable fe discuss de common prablem cah wii focus pon da separate problems. raddar dan seyinn dat yess racist colorism system benefitted marley cah imm wass a mixxed race lite skin blakk man ann tosh ann bunny feared wurst cah dem were da darkka skinned blakk men da issue becum defendinn da separate individuals cah individuals more important dan bunninn fiyah pon colorism
