Me neva meet an EABIC member yet who called himself a Bobo "Dread"... that is what other people call them as far as my knowledge goes... and the Bobo I've met uphold Black Supremacy... which is not to say that they think whites are inferior necessarily, but they do sight Rastafari and definitely the EABIC as a Black trod. But, I am not an EABIC member so I'll let those who are surmise as to whether you are truly a Bobo.
As for "alienating people"... I like it when crackaz are "alienated". Now if you want to assume that by "crackaz" I mean "all 'white' people" you are welcome to do so, but that is your assumption.
Nobody on here created separation. Separation exists already. Part of overcoming it, is first recognizing that it does exist and cannot be wished away with a magic phrase like "abracadabra" or "one love". PS "One Black Love" is the original phrase as far as I know. So who is really trying to change Rastafari concept?
Right now Black people are separated amongst ourselves, the first priority is to overcome that separation before we try to start uniting with others. In my particular country (Guyana) I feel the second priority is to overcome the separation between us and other exploited people of color who make up our country (East Indians, Amerindians etc). While I personally welcome any 'white' person who truly does not have a 'white' mindset (or is working hard on getting rid of it) to make their contribution to the struggle, I think the best place to make that contribution is by organizing and agitating amongst their own people. Plenty of poor whites are getting exploited by the system as well, but instead of blaming the system, the majority of them been brainwashed into blaming and hating us. So conscious 'white' people got their work cut out for em working amongst all the unconscious 'white' people out there. Let them concentrate on that and IanI will concentrate upon building bridges of unity amongst ourselves first.
PS I'm sure nuff of y'all would get "alienated" coming into a Rasta camp in the ghetto in Guyana or anywhere in the caribbean as well. Maybe a bit of alienation might be good for you. Would you rather be challenged to learn, change and grow, or just stay in your comfort zone?
