If one's culture came from the ways of Jah, such as the culture of the Black man, then I can see that. Rastafari, to me, has nothing to do with the 'culture' I came out of, so I have no celebration of my earthly culture, only more disgust than before. To InI, Rastafari is Jah within I. InI see this as a spiritual concept, having nothing to do with nations, races, etc. Rastafari brings InI so much more respect for black culture. Only though the power of Jah, could they put up with such nonsense from whitey, generally speaking. Rastafari shows me to fight evil with good, not more evil.
