What do white people have to add to Rastafari..

or any other black movement?

Why do we act like we have to include them?

Why do some black people fight so hard to have them included?

Why do they try so hard to be apart of our shyt?

The only way I can possibly see them helping in financially.

They are devoid of spirituality.

And lacking <span style="font-weight: bold">hue-manity</span>.(WIKKED PLAY ON WORD DIS...WIKKED)

What benefit are they to Rastafari?

Why cant they get their own righteous movement, if that's possible?

Think about it Black people. Stop bullshyting around. So what if they call you racist.

As Bob marley said, &quot;Slavedriver, the table has turned, Catch a fire. You gonna get burned.&quot;

I await the judgement from my own.

Rasta not immune to media propaganda. They see it on TV, magazines and in ads. White or 'light and bright' is more desirable than black skin women - this message is coveyed in ads 24/7. Go to the mall look at the display ads or pick up any magazine. You see whites and brownins. So even the Marleys that involve with black women tend to go for 'pretty skin' brownins. </div></div>

Well said....but this is clearly embracing the values of Babylon. </div></div>

THE PROBLEM IS DAT PEOPLE TEND TO DATE RASTAFARI from Bob mek it as a musician abroad....he is not Rastafari...he came to it, some of it....wat people also choose to figet is dat 12 Tribes came about so as to mek people feel better about growing locs , smoking weed etc amongst dem contemporaries...tink pon dat...so like everything else, we have revisionists who wan fi seh dat the state of white thinking has totally changed, hence Rastafari change too...if white people as a whole have changed y in juss about every nation whe dem deh dem still have up who no white...white people can dread, yes,..dem can NEVER BE RASTAFARI...DAT IS STRICTLY JCAN BORN OUT OF A NEED WID A MESSAGE AND A JOURNEY DAT IS STILL BEING TROD...some Sadhus allowed their hair to matt...but they were Sadhus....

Roles of women


<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: evanovitch</div><div class="ubbcode-body">

In recent years Whites have joined the sect and are judged on an individual basis and their sympathies to the Rastafarian cause. Today white (Pink) Rastafarians are acceptable but called &quot;African at heart&quot;. The intermingling of white &amp; black was taboo in the original Rastafarian movement but has now become acceptable. The majority of these interracial marriages are between black Rastafarian men and white women. <span style="font-weight: bold">Be aware that that many men who may appear to be Rastafarians are not and use the Rastafarian movement to marry foreign (mainly white) women in search of overseas visas.</span>

</div></div>

The last part accounts for some of the parings we are seeing....I agree.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: evanovitch</div><div class="ubbcode-body">
A Rastafarian woman is a Queen and must keep different standards than the women in &quot;Babylonial&quot; society or Western culture. Some of the standards include, no make up, no dressing in short skirts and they cannot use chemicals in their hair.

</div></div>

Now I would like to know how we went from this to Marleys hooking up with women who are posing naked for magazines, wearing tons of make-up, etc. Remember Damian dated Lisa Bonnet who did a film so explicit that it had to be censored and she has definitely posed naked. As fi de one Rohan checking.

There was something Plano said about Bob coming to him for help with his music before he was a Rasta that made me wonder. I do get the idea Bob was sincere in his beliefs but that is inconsistent with him hooking up with Cindi who was in body building contests, posing in bikinis etc. I remember he thought it was cool that she was so fit. (Think that was the wrong head talking...yet again... )

So are the Marleys true Rastas or are they just spouting the party line to help sell music. The younger Marleys come out with the party line really fast. There is disconnect between Damian who was raised with half siblings Leah and attorney Chrstian who plays polo...and his half siblings. He is totally different from Leah and Christian. Though Leah does like to ride on the rough side. Remember she was a Dawg Paw's house when the police were looking for him.

That's what I am figuring too.

According to Rita, everywhere he went he had to rooks off the local beauty queen. If that isn't embracing Bablylonian values, I don't know what is. I think he had some deep insecurities.

the only thing i never understand about rasta dow is this?

mek Halle Selassie never locks? - and him suppose to be prophet and all a dat, I dont understand dat part (and would truly appreciate if someone could hightlight me on that) </div></div>


Bad post, Tropi

Anyway Ctry selassie actually did wear locks at a point in yuteman days....
But that is not a big issue---and as far as prophets go why do you think any prophet would be universally accepted?
Do you accept Muhammad? Buddha? Krishna? Shinto?
Rastafari is not about locks...it's far bigger than that...
Do you always wear robes and sandals because you penetrate the one they call Jesus' teachings?

Re: Question for Rastafarian Men only?

Why is this a bad post? It is a fair question and I have asked the same about supposedly White born again men who run after cleavage showing blonde bimbos and discriminate against Black women....also buying into the values of this World? This is inconsistent with being a Christian as the Bible clearly says.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

It's also fair game to ask why Ratsas are getting wrapped up with the daughters of Bablyon.

Re: Question for Rastafarian Men only?

You're just moving on hype... The vast majority of Rastafari brethren have black wives...and a mans mate is his own choice.
So let me ask you;
Why are Christians getting wrapped up in the buttocks of young boys?
Fair question?

Fair question...different thread...feel free to start it and I will participate.

The main question is why are you dodging the question instead of taking your breddren to task for not walking the talk.

While the majority of Rastafarians marry Black women...some rich, famous and high profile men who claim tse dem a Rasta get mix up wid vanity.

Re: Question for Rastafarian Men only?

So are you saying that Bob Marley, Ziggy Marley, Rohan Marley, and Damian Marley are not Rastafarians? Well they sure talk a lot about Selassie I.

Even the grandchildren spout the same line.

Even their cousin Alex Marley speaks about the same things. His grandfather and Bob Marley's father were brothers apparently.
