Greetings! Ras Kawintseb is making music in Ethiopia, while Pascal Dawson is travelling the world! Andy Siege, the director is writing books about his life. Although he no longer has dredlocks, he is still Rasta! One love!

Rastafari is for all peoples. But it is acknowledging that all things come first from Africa and that all peoples have descended from Africans. Blessings and love ❤️💛💚

"Colonialism and the policy of racism impose soul searching questions of human rights, weighing equally on the conscience of all men and nations of good-will. History amply shows that the freedom enjoyed by the many becomes fragile when the denial, even to the few, of basic human rights is tolerated. Our efforts as free men must be to establish new relationships, devoid of any resentment and hostility, restored to our belief and faith in ourselves as individuals, dealing on a basis of equality with other equally free people. We believe in cooperation and collaboration to promote the cause of international security, the equality of man and the welfare of mankind." H.I.M. Haile Selassie I

[@iaindcosta]

​@@naturaIIydifferentWe are descended from Noah, his wife, their 3 sons and their wives about 4.5k years ago, recessive genes becoming racial characteristics can only happen in a reduced population, Babylonian and Egyptian societies formed soon after while Black people went over the world, relatively recently have northerners with their recessive genes impacted life in the Mediterranean and South, but the current Africsn populations include people with ancestors from all over, following imperial conquest as well as trade. East Africa and Aethiopaea have many tribes and Nations. God's children are watching and praying for a righteous Kingdom

The music playing at the very start is called Mbira Music and its Played mainly in Zimbabwe where it originates as the music/genre takes its name from the very same instrument that usually single handedly blankets the entire song n Riddim. ..barry hinslewood ? Lol , u can add any kind of beat on top of mbira ,even hip hop n those that don't know mbira won't even notice coz they don't kno it but anyone from Zimbabwe will tell u Mbira is mainly played as the spiritual music linking us the living beings and our ancestors to our God,Musikavanhu(the creator) mostly the players of the instrument have very strong natural dreadlocks that can be very thick even as big as a palm of a hand

A true religion of JAH will not be prejudiced or discriminate. In heaven, everyone is one with JAH. Ethiopia is a good land. The Bible makes it clear that the New Zion will not be built by the hands of any man, but it will be brought down from the cosmos by the JAH (who self- resurrected on the 3rd day after His death) and place it on this earth as He recreates a new earth before our eyes, and all of Babylon will burn in the fire of recreation (Revelation 21).

Selassie set aside this land for black forner enslaved from the Diaspora. To me this is an insult to Rasta and the former enslaved people of the Diaspora who live in fear. It is no wonder Ethiopia doesn't want these lack of knowledge of self people off their land. The original reason why Rasta was created is lost on these people. Is this annoying boy, the German and other white people going to fight for black liberation. This is not funny, it is heart breaking and the fake wotless sellout let downs should be expelled.
