Greetings Heather
The words DIGNITY and INTEGRTY are often used synonomously/interchangeably.
I saw no confusion in Baba's use of racial DIGNITY.
He could have said 'racial INTEGRITY' and the same meaning would have been overstood by I.
He is saying that if you lay down and have a seed with a european, then you violate racial WORTHINESS/VALUE/SOUNDNESS/WHOLENESS/HONOR/PRIDE/RESPECT as a Afrikan purpose.
He said nothing about dignity being tied to skin color.
This is something that you are obsessing over.
Baba Marcus has trod Rastafari livity for decades. He undoubtledly seen bad people of all races.
Therefore he will probably not hold to the reasoning that ALL blacks are good and ALL whites are bad.
BUT....COLLECTIVELY as a unit/system, he might hold the positition that Europeans are bad.
I know I do.
History has proven and shown that.
Peace
