As I said in I post before,
-----------------------
People need to learn to ingrain these words of Haile Selassie I into their mind. I repeat like I have repeated so many times before.
To be neutral is to be impartial, impartial to judge actions and policies objectively, as we see them either contributing to or detracting from the resolution of the world's problems, the preservation of peace and the improvement of the general level of man's living conditions. Thus, we may find ourselves now opposing, now supporting. now voting with, now voting against, first the East, next the West. It is the worth of the policies themselves, and not their source or sponsor, which determines the position of one who is truly neutral.
This, We maintain, is the essence of non-alignment. Those who would righteously denounce one side on every major problem or issue while reserving nothing but praise for the other cannot claim to be non-aligned, nor can those whose policies are shaped for them elsewhere and who wait patiently to be instructed whether they are to be for or against be called uncommitted.
It is good to promote the righteous things people like Sizzla and others say and do. But people need to get out of this partiality mindset and stop defending wickedness just because it comes from somebody who has taught them good things.
-----------------------
Sizzla does a lot of good and I don't know much about Norris man, but it is probable that he also does good things, and it is great to promote those things. But the folly that Norris man, Sizzla, or any other RasTafarI artist does should be blazed.
Things remain the same, no matter how many generations pass and we repeat to the youth to "enjoy the music of the artists, but don't idolize them and follow them in all they do". The youth still follow them. So that is why I can't just concentrate on the good things they do when I reason, because the youth see the good and bad things. And they need to know that RasTafarI trod doesn't include the wickedness. Any wickedness that remains are the remnants of babylon.
