I don't know much about the Rasta's, but what I do know I like. I'm not sure about the race issues, but they seem to be pretty genuine. I like the Marley's a great deal, but only because they are the only Rastafari's I know of, lol.

I watched an interview on youtube with Bob Marley, and they talked about his religion. It was pretty cool. The prophet said very little about dreads, but he did say they weren't required to be in that religion. He said the same thing about the herb, and it's a central part of their beliefs, isn't it?
