True, Rastafari is a movement of liberation of black ppl. BUT, it is more about the unity of all man-kind. For we are ALL origional desendents of Africa. Africa is the Birthplace of humanity, relgion, culture, science & technology.
It's not about race or color AT ALL!!! H.I.M. Haile Selassie I, proclaimed, "We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ulitmate alligence not to nations, but to our fellow men w/in the human community."

Not only that, but it is against the teachings of H.I.M. Haile Selassie I to question the faith of others. "No one should question the faith of others, for no human being can judge the ways of God." These are some of His more famous quotes. You'll find more on my thread, if you are interested...though it is my perspective.

Rasta is about living Ital~
In addition, I don't know many Christians who take everything literal all the time or who follow each & every sentence in every day life....I find more literal truth in the teachings of Haile Selassie I & Baha'u'llah, than the Bible. & about the mistreatment of women....there are always disagreements among members of any given faith as to what the true "way" is...just as there are Rastafarians who do not like white Rastas, because of the tendency for ppl to think of Rasta as merely an "excuse to smoke a shit load of pot"....there will always be ppl who take advantage or take things out of context. However, this IS NOT truely a Rasta principle~ it may be a tendency of some ppl who might happen to be Rasta. It is against Haile Selassie I's teachings to "capture or enslave" mentally or physically, another person, so I don't think mistreatment of women is something that He would promote or condone. I'm sure you'll find sites where Rasta's say all kinds of things!!



"If you have played no part in the capture of enslavement of Africans mentally as well as physically & accepted no benefit there of, then it is only left to consider one's humanity." H.I.M. Haile Selassie I

ONLY THROUGH JAH LOVE~ [BTW~ it's spelt JAH]
