I think my original post was unclear. I don't mean that any particular sect of Rasta (Nyahbingi, 12 Tribes, etc) should be practiced by every single Afrikan person in the world. I meant that we must all make the spiritual return to our roots and learn to live a natural life where we are free to be our Afrikan selves. People don't have to call themselves Rastas, but what will help us most is an embracing of our heritage and understanding that we already had a religion and a culture with our own Afrikan values before we were all dispersed throughout the diaspora. I did not mean to imply that everyone should subscribe to any particular Rasta sect. I simply meant to use the Rasta as a symbol of a natural child of Jah, which is what we all are. More Black people need to know this and stop the madness in our communities.
As for Rastas being "vagabonds" in Afrika, that has not been my experience. There are Rastas in Tanzania who own lots of property and work in international business, as well as Rastas who are farmers and live a more simple life.
