Greetings in that divine and most precious name of Our Lord And Savior Iyesus Kristos, who in this day has revealed himself in the personality of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I, crowned King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Elect of God, Light of This World, on November 2, 1930.
Further Greetings to and from the Twelve Tribes of Israel, once scattered abroad, but now being regathered by the divine works of Our Beloved Prophet, Brother Gad, Peace Be Unto Him!, founded on the island of Jamaica on February 25, 1968.
Greetings in the Tewahedo Ethiopian Orthodox Faith, a faith not of writs nor rights, but an inward function of the heart, born of a mystical incorporation with the Holy Spirit, in plain words, to be born again.
I-Man greet you from the tribe of Naphtali.

The Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey said that a King would rise in the East, and that Man's redemption would draw near.

marcus garvey would've told you to shut that shit up. i'm trying to think of a nice way to put this...when garvey said "back to africa", he wasn't talking about white people...at all...not even white people with dreads and bongs who are "down for the cause, jah blah".

It is much more then smoking weed, it is about liberating Africa from the bondage of third world slavery, and any other nation under such bondage. Rastafari is bigger then any of you might realize, so perhaps you all should have more Raspect.

i didn't know that Los Angeles was considered a third world entity! and what's this mess about being liberated from bondage? i'm sorry, man, but white rastas are probably the biggest slap in the face to any other rasta. i mean, how does it look when a white male (the most liberated creature on the face of the earth) says to the black male "yeah, brotha! we gots to liberate i-and-i, jah bless!" it's very similar to when malcolm x opened the muslim mosque in harlem and said, very openly, that they would accept help and donations from white people, but white people could not join, because they didn't understand the problem as deeply as the negro did (and still does). that's not to say that was the only reason he didn't allow white members in the muslim mosque, but that's a whole other tangent.
