********************************************
I didn't say racist, i said I don't like racial bigotry; racist implies dominating power over a next race bigotry is just hatred for someone based on a superficial thing like skin tone.
************************************************" Hiding behind Rasta and notions of white repatriation while condemning those who expose the reality as being anti-rasta is a cheap escape.
*********************************************Again:
1) The Bible, Praised by Selassie was bashed on this board with an opiate of the masses sentiment.
2) The rasta elder concept of one love is being maligned as a white hippy concept.
3) The Rastafari focus on ET + Shasha is being questioned when it has always been there
etc etc etc
I agree the thred title could have been changed or branched off but these things i see going on here
*********************************************
"Your conditioned white privilege doesn't allow u to accept that Rastafari is dedicated towards destroying racism, sexism and the remnants of colonialism (white supremacy)."******************************************
Of course that's a huge part of rasta livity, which I why I don't like to see the bigotry here; its anti rasta.
*****************************************No one ever stated in the thread about who can't be rasta, so i do not know where u got this from.
************************************************
Not in this thread overtly but implied and is is I believe the title of a thread somewhere on here saying whites can't be rasta. At least this bredrin comes out and states his racial bias
in the open
************************************************Somehow i suspect that this orginates from your inability to comprehend that there is no such thing as white repatriation.
*********************************************
whatever... i stated my feeling on it you ststed yours
