cool...so it looks like I should hold him to no higher regard than Nkrumah or other leaders.

But I still ask in what way he 'succeeded'. By having to go into exile looks like a failure to me. By being looked at as a figurehead of Black Liberation yet blacks are not liberated does not appear as success to me.

By supposedly overstanding the plight of the continent of Afrika and the importance of solidarity yet specifying some Hamitic/Semitic distinction instead does not look to good to me.

See, many folks in the trod of Rastafari look to him as Jah Rastafari. Besides the usual semitic indoctrination, what would help an outsider overstand this divinity? by deeds or by biblical lineage association only?

All this topic does is reassure me that the religious aspect of rastafarianism is ordained and promoted by the hidden semitic controllers because it aligns with their indoctrination/convertion agenda. It is similar to how the American slaves were xtianized...not to save souls but to mentally and psychologically align them to the semitic version of spiritual hierarchy that sanctions the hierarchy here on Earth.

Same with Ethiopia. The people would be in check because they already sighted a hierarchical emperor/king that aligned with the Solomonic/Davidian/Semitic folklore.

Islam - Xtianity - Judaism - Rastafarianism...all so-called non-pagan religions that in and of themselves have colonized/converted/altered the indigenous masses and their universe-views across the entire globe, including and starting with the european indigenous/pagans.
