Nice thread.. I was looking into Rastafari for a while. I'm only 15, and am on the way of purging myself of hate. That is why I don't follow anything my race has accomplished(I'm white). I might take a few quotes by a few leaders into mind, just because of the way they celebrate the human opportunism(Those who will sacrafise freedom for security deserve neither - Jefferson). I doubt I would ever get accepted into the Rastafari community, but it sounds like something for me. Maybe not Rasta, but something similiar. I want to be in a culture that doesn't base life on what you see on your cox cabel television set, and doesn't promote anything that will underscore another.
