"I'm glad you said that. I know I may get some stick for saying this, but Selassie does not look like a "black man" to me. He looked far more "Semitic" in appearance. If Selassie judged by colour or physical appearance, then he would not consider most Rastafarians to be his people. "

The complexion of Haile Selassie is not too different from many Black people in the west. Blacks in America are definitely not considered "Semitic".

If you are of the idea that inorder to be a black man, you must be as dark or darker than Marcus Garvey, then you are mistaken.

InI dont need any 'reverse' paper bag test to quantify blackness.

Blackness is more a mindset than a skin shade anyway.

Blackness is the foundation.

Black soil produces life.

Triple stage blackness of the womb produces life.

Light was born from blackness.

Black hair forms spirals like the fundamental building blocks of life (DNA/fractals).

etc, etc, etc...
