Greetings Kamau,

Permit I to answer di I's questions:

"Rootswoman , INI usually dont reason.. but maybe we should... you said you heard the Nyahbingi order spoke of such.. what did his majest say on the issue.. ? Are you of the nyahbinghi order? if not why do u claim to a house that u hold no congress wit ,is it that u only usin a loosely drawn argument to supprt ur claim?.. please dont tek i questions as offensive.. i jus like fi reason.. an i encourage u to ask back I questions.. also to to the nex sis.. u also did some 'hear say' urself.. let me add some hear say then.. i also heard they got some whitey germans up in the camp as well u know.. an sum blondies..(and this aint no joke)"

I speak upon DIRECT AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITHIN NYABINGHI bredren, seen? I have not come to this conclusion by reading this inna book, but by direct experience. And yes, I do trod Nyabinghi, in the Spirit of QUEEN NYABINGHI, the Afrikan Warrior Woman. You ask what His Majesty said about this issue. I'll tell you:

UNTIL THAT DAY (where equal rights and justice belong to EVERY MAN UNDER THE SUN, which has NOT COME YET)...we AFRIKANS WILL FIGHT, as we find it necessary.

Let us remember that His Majesty did NOT create an Organization of MULTICULTURAL unity, but one of AFRIKAN UNITY.

And I agree with you bredren, though we have the phenomenon of some binghis "fiyah bunning" white or light skinned Afrikans, we have others that have plenty "blondies" in them. Contradictions.

"Is rastafari a front to a new wave black panthers movement?.. or is it the healin a di nations uniting Jah Jah children... in one righteousness.. cus it seems upfull an righteousness seems to be slippin away from we livity"

RASTAFARI IS FOUNDED ON THE RESISTANCE TO EUROPEAN COLONIALISM. Call that whatever you may...a "new wave black panther movement", but don't forget to sight the SIX FOUNDING NYABINGHI PRINCIPLES which are about as 'militant" as the Black Panther Party. Difference is...Rasta has become DILUTED by the presence of NON AFRIKANS as compared to some Pan Afrikan organizations.

Also, would di I consider the Teachings of Garvey to be "a new wave of black pantherism" as well?

Without apology, and raspectfully still,

ROOTS
