Blessed LOVE PERFECT LOVE - Rasta far I

Beloved... consider overstanding all these languages or dialects or secret languages... instead of judging them on an intellectual level, why not be a steward of the blessing of possessing the INTELLECT and ability to oversatnd and type and write another "genre" for COMMUNICATION. THis reasoning has been very positive in the way that ones and ones JUDGE or make an effort to OVERSTAND.

It is good to KNOW the ways of the flesh of man that ones and ones hail up, the HIS-tory hail up the prefection of INI Creation..IT is BEST to LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY accordingly to INI... not u, he she me or they...

If ones follow imitate, in flesh -100%- HIM, Garvey, Marley, Emmanuel, whatever, how come no one here is the king of a nation, an activist, a mansion leader, ready to DIE in flesh for JUSTICE? Site.. how the language that ones and ones so stubbornly cling to can really point back to self. ONes and ones are ALL-WayS these things....fully

The title of this post is "false rasta" there is not such thing,, either one is or one isn't and it is not up to any ONE here to make that judgement. KNOW yourself. CHECK INI VIBES....
What is the penalty for not beign a "true" rasta
What is the penalty for not speaking properly "ISH"
What is the penalty for sucha dn such.. When u set sentence.. then it is the one u set 4 yourself.....

Iyahlic is dat....INI fe b INI, meh nah gwan to be slave fe the $ht$tem ..
Translation....

"Rasta dialect is EVERYTHING... All of living ones are to be Everyone united. I am not a slave to the world"

Lighten up on the speech and start with some LOVE here.....BE Stewards of the world that the most high as blessed ini with ABUNDANCE of RESOURCES......original and natural

One love one aim one destiny

Ras Elijah sounds like a white supremacist.

Patois - our wonderful high intellectual language - does NOT equate to miseducation or the uneducated. What kind of Tom Foolery?

Would you say the same of African Pidgin?

Our Patois is a language JUST as much as English is a language. Both not being primarys but both using broken fragments from other languages to create a new dialect. If you knew anything of the study of linguistics and etymology you would overstand this quite easily. And see how commonly this occurs. But if its black people in a black country doing it it doesn't count? Who is the miseducated one? THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE CAME ABOUT IN THE SAME WAY So who are YOU to judge which one is correct? whether online or spoken?

Given the history and tie to slavery and our struggle in general makes our Carribean Patois even more wonderfill.

As PETER TOSH said "InI HATE to speak the English language." A language that has never and will never be able to explain or vocalise our overstandings of God and spirituality.

You are suffering from the syndrome of Slavemaster mentality.......Fire haffi dash your way

In the years this forum has been around, many people have come through, the wicked and the Righteous and most in between. People like Elijah, and others that imagine all sorts of wickedness and vileness and think it can have a place in RasTafarI.

Jamicans are I brothers who got dropesed of somewhere besides north america. so if I speak with a lil patios slang that is just fine , even though I am from usa. rightious man in J.A should be honered that some man from elsewhere trys to emulate their speech. for those that pertain, we all all one , so like I say it is pure 100% foolishness to be up in arms over speach or writing! for I, it feels like a second lanuage, when im around "non-Ras' I speak english , when I site Rases Iman go on auto piliot.......it feels right! if only Iman could be around I bredrin an sistrin 24-7..........
" so back way , gawn wit all ah dat , Iman haffi foward " LoL

one perfect love all over the earth

It's important to differentiate. Rasta has nothing to do with patois. That's an island thing, under the experience of chattel slavery. Many of the none rastafari brothers who share the same historical experience can relate.
