Repatriation Forum

This link is on a Ras Tafari site?

"Many Afrocentric Rastas find themselves in a different relation with the figure of 'Selassie I' than when they first began their Rasta journey. Worshiping Selassie as the One God either becomes impossible for them, or they view this metaphorically, or they engage in vigorous rationalizations and mental acrobatics, for the sake of Rasta unity. It is possible that the symbol of Selassie will fade away altogether from Rasta, viewed as something that made sense for its time, but is no longer helpful. There are many reasons why Rastas may come to the view that the worship of Selassie is outmoded."

This is coming from a white woman. I am sure I will be accused of not quoting accurately.

Give thanks Bingi Haiasi for pointing this out.

This sums up everything. Rasta cant be held hostage. Now will InI bow to such ones ideologies and philosophies.

One Black Love to all Ras Tafari Idrens
