If you mean academic qualifications then obviously more whites and light-skinned ones would be preferred over many Blacks because the colonized education system did not usually accept dreadlocked Rastas, and the society was not accepting them. I am not of the view that because someone lacks a degree that they are unable to lead their own struggles and Pan-African affairs. Dark-skinned Blacks in Barbados were the ones who kept the Black Rastafari focus for decades, and their views and feelings should be considered."

You don't even live in Barbados?! I thought that you were a resident there. If you don't live there and don't even know Dr. Tafari, how are you qualified to comment on him and the situation?
