I think that THIS is the context of the PERSPECTIVE that the original Rastafari in the Carribean had when USING the bible as their tool- it was so very different than the one of the dominant oppressor group. IMO I feel that once the sight of this context is lost, Rastafari today can fall very easily into the pitfalls of the typical European fundamentalist.
