Now in this post you sidestep issues specific to blacks completely-again your analogies are not on target. Are you suggesting that in the future Rasta will not be a black-led movement addressing issues central to the black experience? Do you look forward to the great day when blacks won't figure in Rasta? It is all well and good to feel 'called' to something, but that is certainly not an explanation in and of itself. What do you think 'called' you? What's in it for you? Do you think white middle-class dreadlock people are the best worldly symbol for Rasta? Well maybe so, since it seems to me Selassie's personal preferences made him a lover of Europe and all things European.
