When I was young and learning in the Rastafari movement, the main teachings were, let every nation find and abide under their own vine and fig tree. Africa for Africans, Europe for the European, India for the Indians, China for the Chinese etc. There were also discussions about how African women were raped on the plantation by whites, and if their husbands protested, they would be beaten or killed over this matter. If a child was born from this rape situation, this child would still be treated as a slave by his slave master father, he would be placed in his slave company and not be allowed to act as if the slave master is his father.
Since slavery has not really been corrected, and is being carried out from a very technological point of view, there is this great deception, that if you hook up with the sons and daughters of the slave masters, it will help you to be very be prosperous, as well as allow one to look prestigious in the sight of others. But there is a great bitterness, which grows in the minds of every black man and woman, as well as Europeans, every time a mixed couple walk the streets of any place upon this earth.
There is a great Natural appearance which is very visible when a European couple, or a Indian couple, or a Chinese Couple, or an African couple walk the streets tegether as man and wife. It appears even more natural when their children are with then looking just like them, in resemblance as well as in color. On the other hand, mixed couples, with mixed children look so unnatural, so that it cause people to stare and gossip as they walk by.
I personally think that it is best for blacks to be with blacks, whites to be with whites, Indian to be with Indians, Chinese to be with Chinese.
I think that it is a very greatful thing for each race of people to stay with their own people, and abide by their own heritage, culture, traditions and legacy, and be there with their own patriots and elders, to return the service which were shared with them when they were infants, they must return the care which were given to them, to those who cared for them when they were baby boys and girls. When they stray from their race, they stray from their roots, and that is a ungreatful thing to do.
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self determination to African people everywhere
ONE BLACK LOVE ONE BLACK HEART
