Right! Those are real rastas that have actually and seriously practice the religion the way it's intended to be embraced and not only for the weed and wearing dreadlocks like some people do nowadays. Smoke weed and be you. You don't have to be a Rasta to smoke it as that's an absolute waste and is utterly pointless.

I completely concur. I know plenty Rastaman who don't take the herb.

Whats up Rah360?Thanks and you're welcome for it. I'm still irked beyond belief as to why whites would want to be apart of religious movement that wasn't designed for them in the first place.

Rastafari is not a counter-culture created to combat white illness. It is a belief of truth. I am what I am or more succinctly "I am that I am". Whites will not always be the vile creatures they now are. Rasta Prophecy! Did you not hear? One day, Rasta, the whole world will be dreadlocks!

<quoted text>Rasta lost it's uniqueness and quality the minute whites began embracing it and some blacks openly accepted them with no problems.

I wouldn't say that.

Rastafari is a way for ALL to unite. Did you not hear, Rasta? I-Jah created more than one type of fish.

<quoted text>Whites don't truly understand the black spirituality behind it and the messages it preaches for them to be embracing the religion.

A-true. But... InI remain upfull (hopefull) that a-one might arise endowed with gifts that their predecessors lack and InI fear that I, even I-self, might be... harsher on them than necessary and may even in such a way bar their entrance into Godhood.

Dis yah a cosmic battle, Rasta!

Mack the Great wrote:

<quoted text>Haven't they missed the point that Rastas want to be far away from them as possible?

Naw! Rasta nah flee adversity. Rasta designed fe tough! Rasta just want peace. If Rasta cyan have that... then Rasta a fight fe get it.

Mack the Great wrote:

<quoted text>Besides, how can they be rastas when they aren't victims of oppression, racism, and classism like we blacks were?

Rasta is not a battered and beaten people, Mack. Rasta is a Kingly People, and Holy unto Jah. Rasta holds the candle of uprightness and lovity even amidst degradation and oppression. Incidentally, that is why we are here...(and still here)... to show humanity that possibility.

Mack the Great wrote:

<quoted text>I feel that Rasta has now been corrupted by white ideology and will never be the same again. To bad your father and other black Rastas don't realize this as they are blinded by white mans tricks.

Rastafari cyan corrupt, Rasta! What you are witnessing is GROWTH. For true, if a way of life is not good for ALL the living... then it cyan right for anyone! Rasta went through it's Black-Man Rasta stage where none were admitted into congregation but those... DARK, Black-Man Rastas... even semi-melanics were barred from some sets... but it grow. It grow and grow, grow and grow! Don't nothing live without growth... and RASTAFARI LIVE EVER! Yes-I! RASTAFARI LIVE EVER!

see this can be interpreted as ''growth'' or no longer in its ORIGINAL form or ''watered down'' or compromised depending on which view its comming from.and thats were the discrepency comes from people who know how the movement ORIGINALLY began to what it is today.just becuase something has changed doesnt mean its for the better.i understand ''growth'' often means more money or a a larger congregation but does it still mean its good?

A dog, non-human in all his endeavors becomes a god when it recognizes what is and accepts it's rightful place in the totality of God. Think Ye not that this self-same dog can be used as a tool of the Most High?(I am in no way comparing you to a dog, oOMayaOo).
You contend with those who might be SEEKING your own countenance, Spirit-Man. Hatred is an easy emotion... and one hard to release. Give her the respite that you promised her when first you laid the foundations of creation. She said she would prove to you that many were ungrateful... and now as she reneges and wishes for reconciliation is she to be snubbed by your fierce anger?
Perhaps she may come to know God... And you, yourself, know that in the fullness of time you will see if her statements and yearnings constitute or contain any truth.
Do you notice that I speak to YOU moreso than others on issues such as these? Would you care to know why? It is because you more than anyone else exhibit traits, characteristics and attributes that make your moniker more than just a name.
GodBody... I see the God in you... plainly.
Forgive me if I also hold you to a higher standard (and forgive me if I do not always see the jest inherent in some of your postings. You're usually quite serious, yunno. Hard to tell sometimes. I just caught it.) White, black, green... who cares. The God is no respecter of persons. How much less colors?
The White-man Rasta in his fullness has yet to be seen. I know of very few... in fact I know of none... however, I know many who are trying to learn consideration, honesty and love among the white race... and their ilk is sorely needed.

I just hate when Rastafari is equated to some hippie sh!t, but I see your point.

see? you made me look up the word ''moniker'',lol.I have a clearer understanding for what you stand for now.when i use the word ''hippie'' in refference to rasta,i mean the fake rasta's.but i feel you 100%.Peace.

Growth constitutes an enlarging.
Watering-Down, conversely, entails a diluting or addition of unlike material to enact a stripping process. This 'stripping' or 'taking away of a thing' is not what has happened where Rastafari is concerned.

Verily, Rastafari has magnified itself or shall we say 'expanded it's opus' to include, inculcate and transform also what was once supposedy outside of it's boundaries.

Changed? Not at all. Incorporated other elements and acted as a 'Quickener'... absolutely.

Rasta still deh bout!

Love in Excess Amounts and Respect to each of you.

but once something has been ''added'' to it,it no longer is the same or in its original form which in essence has changed is it not?when you go to court,the judge doesnt like when you 'add' something new to the original sttory.

A-true but an infant which eats does indeed take on nutrients and matter. The fledgeling being uses these to further it's physical development and thus completes the intended growth cycle. It is a growth process, seen?

Nice post, Mister "I'm not eloquent". lol.
