Rastafari developed and relate to Jamaicans first so you are right I’m not a Rastafarian faithful. I am Kongolese, I have my own indigenous faith around the remembrance of Nature spirits and the ancestors that provide my wellbeing as long as I remember and care for them. I do not practice any diluted or Afro-centered Judeo-Christianity indeed. For instance, go to Africa for yourself and see how African people form Senegal to Ethiopia, form Angola to Zimbabwe tend to take a critical view of Rastafarian and lifestyle religion because the bulk of them are either poisoned with self-hatred praise Christianity, Judaism and Islam that castigate Rastafari. Or a small number of of them like me have ethnic pride and racial prides so are followers of traditional spirituality. But as far I am concerned I could care less what themes and doctrines you believe in as long as you engage in Black consciousness rising and Black pride I will support you.
However it’s seems that the Rastafari movement you cherish has been watered down significantly. And I see the majority of so-called Rastafarians and White imposters today preaching colorblindness unlike at the very beginning of your movement??! You rasi especially are in denial like hell about the racist reality of this world in the midst of social, cultural, political and economy spectrum. You remain in denial no matter what the issue is. You and other Black delusionists are just programmed to defend covertly the White position on issues and make excuses for all of the by-products of racism as if they are a figment of Black people's imagination.. You are misled or a fool to refute White folk infiltrates our movements to blind us and to prevent our enterprising and Black dynamism.
500 years of European colonialism followed by being the favorite proxy war playground mixed up with first world exploitation using tyranic regimes, it’s blatant the root cause of our problem is White people. But you, you forget ALL THEIR RACIAL DISCRIMINATION to keep us out of economic power in the world while they themselves practice nepotism towards their own people from generations to generations... We are excluded because of race FOR DECADES but you just want to sweep that under the rug like it’s not happening, never address the past 500 years plus when we are discriminated against. You have no argument but to call me racist…lol… Black people like you really make me laugh! You clearly display a denial plantation mentality in doing so you undermine Black autonomy every chance you get...
Lastly, if you can't stand to have your beliefs and opinions challenged by Black non-Rastafarians. IMO, you want to impose your beliefs, than seeking the truth and the empowerment of ALL Black people.
