Re: Rastafari Movement Needs Balance Agenda

It would be good if the Elders in the Rastafari movement, would take a very good review of the Rastafari movment, they who are aware of what the Rastafari movement was, before the year 1958 and before, will be able to recollet, their recollections, and tell the truth, that in those days, the true cause of Rastafari movement, was Africa for the Africans those at home and those abroad, it was indeed a black power movement, which was in genuine accord, with all those other black power movements, everywhere upon the face of this black earth. I can even remember the days, when we as Rastafari people, were shouting for black supremacy in the streets of Jamaica, in resistance to white supremacy, which existed and which were very downpressive to African people everywhere.

Today, as we reason, the Rastafari movement, has been and still is broken into many pieces, having different idealogical views and teachings, flowing from the different segments, and even among our elders, who we expect to hold up the original black power teachings, of Marcus Garvey and other African patriots in Mama Africa, and in the African Diaspora, we find that they are allowing the Rastafari movement, to become a multicultural movement, with whites and other nations, taking on leadership positions in the movement, and are even acting as teachers, and even have plans to be repatriated to Mama Africa, as well as Zion, as they try to say from time to time, on this very forum of reasoning.

I think all of this kind of invasion of the Rastafari movement, came about with the reggea music invasion, of the Rastafari movement. There was -time when reggea music was not accepted by the ILA Iyagels in in the movement, because of the vulgarity of some of the lyrics. But when Bob Marley and others started singing Rastafari teachings in their songs, then their lyrics were considered to be closer, to what Rastafari people stands for, and we would say, great are the company of those who publish the words. I remember brother Trevor, who use to be in Back o wall, and use to be known to us, but he was mostly hanging with a brother who we called corn pipe, but he was always around when we were chanting, and so he got into the music business, and after forming the group called melodians, they recorded one of our favorite chant, By the Rivers of Babylon, and it became an instant hit, and it was good to hear one of our chant, playing all over the land, including all over the radio. As the days went by, we were hearing more and more of our Rastafari songs, being played on the radio, and all over the land on sound systems, and it was good to know that people, began to recognised our teachings, and were recording them, and publishing them world wide. But we did not know that it would change the course, of the Rastafari movement as time goes by.

After HIM Majesty paid his historic visit to Jamaica, the Rastafari Movement became Internationally known, as a result of the multitudes of people, who came to see this man, who Rastafari people praise as the Creator. There were thousands of people, who came to see HIS Majesty just out of curiousity. Well, after Bob Marley, became a serious Rastafari person, and began to sing serious resistance songs, and was given the right promotion by his managers, he became a great hit maker, and was able to tour the entire world.

Most of his fans which he performed to were white people, and people of other races, and they were buying his music, and listening to Bob's music, and so they try to be like Bob Marley, not knowing that they just could not be like Bob Marley, but they did not know that, and they still do not know that even as we speak. As a result, they started to lock up their hair upon their heads, drink their beers and other kinds of alcohol, smoke as much stuff as they could smoke, and imitate Bob Marley as they live from day to day. So the next thing we know, various nations were becoming reggea artist, and having reggea bands, and reggea was now looked upon as the Rastafari movement, by those who did not know.

So when Bob Marley recorded HIS Majesty's speech, which says UNTIL, UNTIL, UNTIL, until the color on person's skin, is of no more significance, than the color of his or her eyes, there will be no peace but war. So the speech clearly say, until, which means in real terms, that until African people and Mama Africa are totally free, there will be no peace or harmonyv upon the face of this earth. That was what HIS Majesty speech means, and please do not forget it.

Well, HIS Majesty's speech was totally misinterpeted, to mean, that all other nations, should again invade the villages of African people, and hang around in their villages, because it is one love, which is another misinterpetation, the song one love was taken from Rastafari greeting words, ONE BLACK LOVE ONE BLACK HEART, which Rastafari people shouted aloud to each other, in the streets of west Kingston, Jamaica West Indies, in the year 1961 and after, when the black heart order was revealed, and implemented, which bring about words like Iyasies, Iyanks, blacklight, and all of those Iyaver words, which are now being used losely, but if Bob Marley had sing one black love, his song would not have been accepted, as much as the song one love was accepted.

In summary, the Rastafari movement is now known all over the world, but it is fast drifting away from the black power movement which it used to be, in the early days before 1958 and before. It is mostly becoming a multicultural religious movement, a reggea movement. Repatriation is no more about African people it appears, but it seems to be about any race of people, who decide to wear their locks, and shout for Rastafari and act as if they are Rastafari people. There is nothing wrong with white people acepting the truth, and helping to spread it across the universe, but it must be done in the right way. Since Africans were robbed and enslaved for more than five hundred years, and are still in captivity, they who can acknowledge, that their foreparents have done wrongs against African people, must organize their own people among themselves, and work and teach their own people, to make those corrections, and give Justice to African people everywhere. All of this can be done without hanging around in African villages, and creating suspicions, and distractions among African people. I have much more to say on this matter but for now, I have other matters to take care of.
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self dertermination to African people everywhere
ONE BLACK HEART ONE BLACK LOVE
