First of all greetings to all of you, Rasta or not. My name is Ian, i have dreadlocks, i am white and was born a jew(although i dont actually practice), i come from Uruguay.
For all of you who dont know, Uruguay is a very small country in South America, stuck between Argentina and Brazil, if its ghetto you want we got plenty, but thas not the reason im posting this message... I have read all this threads of messages, were all of you PEOPLE are fighting over skin color, and racial feelings.
I really dont align myself in any religion, but nonetheless i consider rasta to be very representative of my feelings towards the universe, i obviously was born white so i cant really put myself in the position of all the black people who were opressed and selled as human cattle for years and years, and i cant go around talking about repatriation, but what i can I do is just give you a quote that i think sums up the idea of posting this message... no more bullshit, here goes...

"When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" (Martin Luther King)
