Re: One Love
In Response To: Re: One Love ()

The term One Love was not coined by Bob Marley as his song might suggest or the Marlians.

The term Peace and One Love was said by the early brethrens and sistrens of Rastafari in Jamaica. Even when they were being persecuted by the system or just by those of the regular population, these peculiar people had the strength to say Peace and One Love.

As the brethren so rightly states when certain ones try to use that term to justify there blindness to the institution of racial inequality and racism and as a password into this Afrikan movement, someone must step forward and buffer that unfinished teaching.

Absolutely no outsider can step into an Afrikan movement based on the simple principles and practices of Peace and One Love and tell I'n'I how it is supposed to be. There were times when Rastafari children were up against such odds that it was all they could do to practice Peace and One Love but they found a way to do just that. During and after the Coral Gardens massacre of 1963 in Montego Bay, Jamaica the Rastafari Brotherhood was planning on blowing up bridges in Kingston if the govt. didn't stop this persecution. But they didn't, we still employed Peace and One Love.

So we don't like for anyone to think that they know more about Peace and One Love as it pertains to this movement of these peculiar people.

Peace and One Love from the Blackheart Man.
