somewhat cryptic, I read it differently the second time after remembering he wasn't raised rasta, rather learned from his friends (remembering some interview with Rita where she was talking about Bob).. After remembering that and thinking why would he say that I came to the conclusion he meant something like it is predestined that rasta is rasta. Marley isn't all that big of a deal, I respect him as Rasta and as a person, and I like his music, but not to the extent that I actually listen to him when I feel like listening to some music. You'll hear all types of bizarre comments from some artistes (not saying there is anything wrong with what he said though) I even remember hearing Beanie Man who has always just released commercial music (w/e the fad was at the time, from slackness, to singing about rasta, to pure dancehall) say back in the 90s that only Jamaicans could be Rasta, which I am certain that so many of Rasta worldwide in Africa, the States, Europe, etc., would take offense to had they been sitting in county jail on a possession charge watching BET also :jointsmile:
RedLocks Reviewed by RedLocks on . rastafari question i have been reading alot about the rastafari beliefs..really just out of curiosity...anyway, i was wondering..the idea behind dreadlocks is that you should not take a comb/scissors, or "western tool", to your hair..now being that the followers of this are predominantely(sp) afro american, that means, of course, dreadlocks form...so why would it not be wrong for white people to have their hair made into dreads, who practice this system of beliefs? it seems that it would be disrespectful to Rating: 5
