"THERE IS NO SEPERATING HAILE SELASSIE I FROM THE RASTAFARI MOVEMENT....if you do that it is not RASTAFARI anymore. "

*it seems that it's not so much about ones trying to remove Haile Selassie I from Istory or the Rastafari movemant but rather to fully Iverstand the mechanics and context which manifest InI reality.

please do not limit the power of RASTAFARI to YOUR interpretation of what THAT means.

also, when you say that, "till this day every oromo person I spoke with held His Majesty in High regards they said that when Mengistu came Ethiopia crumbled..." that is skewed logic. Mengistu led a very bloody administration and with the Derg killed almost every male child between the ages of 14 and 25. i have many Ithiopian comrades that came to the west specifically and solely to escape the Derg. i would like to see you post that same statement to anyone who lived through those times. it's an absurd comparison. why not compare the state of Ithiopia from Teodros to that of His Majesty? that said I can only speak and post from I own understanding and cannot and will not ever claim to represent any others view point. I shall leave this alone for now, i only hope that the poster oromorality comes through to contest your absurd comparison and i am sure that you will cause much Dis-cuss-ion with yr post.
