Give Thanks Lioness, The I's truly right and correct about the posting. Yes going through the I post the I is correct, the old slave master initiative is still vibrant in the Caribbean and the America. JA ,Caribbean and America are still I and I exiled home. The connotation that they bestowed on all Rases in the Caribbean is so ridiculous and undermining that we are totally not represented in their infrastructure and in workings, we are still treated as the children of Israel as per their interpretation. One would think that after 69 years and plus Rasta in the Caribbean and the America still is treated as second class citizen. To note if I and I were to go forward to 1555 and up we all would realize that the slave trade begun in the Caribbean and then filtered to the Americas, so we all are related and the circumstances are still the same. I and I can't fight I and I African American brethren and sister for the continuous struggle and the militant resistance that they uphold, unlike places like JA and other Caribbean places, the racism is so disguised in the schemes of things that people think that they are not slaves but in actuality they are it's just a denial. You see that the reaching of the oppressor is so far away that it just seems like nothing happens. But in America I and I deal with this situation daily and constantly on all levels of I and I daily life. How can a nation that economy is mainly based on tourism and other commercial livity be a free place? Do they know what tourism brings and the negative stereotype that the have towards to the natives, it's similar to the American north and south? All them bald heads beit America and the worked throughout still has the same analogy of any Rasta man and womb-man, even though we are the ones since the beginning of this new consciousness kept the total African cultural and livity alive. Even in the early eighties and late seventies when Rap was materializing and the prominence of another black genre was unfolding. The Rastafari consciousness was real prevalent and ingrained in the rap movement, at that time all the medallion and badges etc, the colors hats tams and the African wear were displayed quite proudly and its meager stay had conscious and African strength. As the first prophet say Africa for Africans home and abroad... We are all African and one nation, all countries and nation has ethnic stereotype, it exist in all the Caribbean, as in so many other places. In defense of Rastafari Aluta Continua RASTA IS RASTA, JAMAICA IS JAMAICA, TRINI IS TRINI, GRENEDA IS GRENADA, Rastafari stands alone. None before and none after one in all, all in one.Arfica YEs Jamaica no.
