Re: There is a better way
In Response To: Re: There is a better way ()

What up BK

Why you always got to go off about "you Rastafarians"? Anyone reading through this thread could see that many of "us Rastafarians" agreed more with Ayinde et al than with Aaron Judah. Sometimes it seems like you take the most naive views presented by some Rastas on this board and make out that they are indicative of "rastafarian" beliefs in general, when this is not the case. Nothing you read on the internet could be considered indicative of Rastafari people in general since (a) Rastafari people have quite different beliefs from one another and (b) not many of us are on the internet.
As for this whole issue, to me it's really for people in Barabados to decide. If most Rasta in Barbados perceive Dr. Tafari as a white man who cannot represent them, then he should step down. I would even have said he should have stepped down anyway, given that if he is a conscious Black-minded man in the caribbean he would be aware of some of the issues that Ayinde and others pointed out, and would have seen the importance of giving someone a go at the position who did not have light-skin privilege conferred upon him or her at birth. Then again, to judge by what Poetic Princess is saying, no one else was trying to get this position... if that's the case then he could hardly be blamed for taking it. But if there is a qualified darkerskin person who has the trust and support of the Bajan Rasta community, then Dr. Ikael Tafari should step down in favor of this person. That's my two cents on this.
Incidentally I read this man's book, rastafari in transition, actually I ordered it via the trinicenter site ages ago. Quite an interesting read although it's written in that annoying academic code-like language, but I guess it was a Phd. dissertation originally so that would explain that.
