You raise a lot of good points there sistren, but just one thing... I would hope there are no Rastaman or Rastawombman out there who are "ashamed" of Leonard Howell, Ganganguru Maraj... I & I may DISAGREE with SOME of what the man may have said that may have been more applicable to that time than to this, but I & I should never be ASHAMED of one of I & I founding fathers who went through so much tribulation to establish the legacy for the future generations like us, who have it a bit easier thanks to the struggles and sacrifices of our elders.
PS re your citation about Sodom & Gomorrah... sounds EXACTLY like the situation today with the bankers etc... robbing and injuring poor people and then poor people supposed to pay them for it! But the uprising is building up...
The link is to a really good documentary about I&Istory, with an original member of Leonard Howell's community speaking, among many other elders from various branches of Rastafari... part one of six, well worth checking out the whole thing:
