Some of the most well known Rasta have been a mix of black and white. Often, the white side that gives them advantage in Babylon to make their black side more acceptable,, and make known Rasta to white folk, this white side sometimes destroy them.
It is like a house divided.
On te nutube, Rasta like Aris Latham and others are good example of mixed blood Rasta doing good works for Jah and other Rasta.
Here in NZ, all Maori now mixed blood, no pure blood left. So to deny white Rasta is to deny yourself and your kind.
A tenet of Rasta is friendliness, this should be applied to white Rasta, more than even black non Rasta.
Color aside, true white Rasta are more your kind, follow Jah, of clean habits, better company and support you in your ways.
Oftentimes white Rasta can be a good useful allie too, for black Rasta.
However, like mansplaining in feminism, black Rasta should not allow white Rasta to dictate what black Rasta need or want to make reparations and heal the division between black and white people everywhere, Rasta or non Rasta.
