As I was reading the reasonings, Part of what I was going to say was expressed perfectly by Yaa Asantewa. I will reason more about some of the points.
Yaa Asantewa said,
---------------------------------------
InI are here remaining in African Majesty. I'm just saying that white man need not adopt anything, it is there for thee I within. If it came from without, then one must let go. Bring something from within. Know what I mean.
---------------------------------------
RasTafarI people are Jah SoulJahs who are fighting against Babylon in this Armageddion. This includes Black Liberation and Black Power but also includes many other things. Look at all the Judgement that comes forth unto Babylon when each of the Seals are loosed, RasTafarI people are the Ones that bring this Judgement of the Seals against Babylon. Each Seal Haile Selassie I loosed is being manifested by I and I. I and I are the Hola Nazarites that have separated I and I unto Jah RasTafarI, to perform the works that Selassie I guides I and I to do.
Nobody black or white or any colour can become RasTafarI. Certain Ones black, white and other colours have been appointed as RasTafarI from birth, and are prepared for the trod throughout their Life, and are at some point shown who they are and who their RasTafarI Idrens and I-Sistrens are.
I RasTafarI trod never showed I to hate I race and culture, it showed I to embrace who I am and search out I Roots and Learn about I past, to know who I am, and to bring forward the Good and remove the evil so that I don't repeat the foolishness I did in I present and previous Generations. All of I and I have Roots in Africa, but I and I Roots have spread and grown throughout the Earth and I and I should not forget about any part of I and I Root, because it is all significant and is who I and I are.
Yaa Asantewa showed the same thing beautifully.
--------------------------------
Likewise, a man from Tanzania who knows of his culture and loves his existence owing all to Most High will embrace all of his experiences and the things that make him such... and seek then to find, within his own culture those things which are root of Jesse... and represent them in RasTafari... this is Oneness. Then, a man from France who loves his land of birth, loves the essence of his spot on Earth, will embrace the peculiar and particular elements from his experience, find Israel within this (Israel is beginning, so is everywhere... basically... all the GOOD things that we know sometimes as 'human nature') and represent that in Rastafari.
--------------------------------
Ras I-Tom, the I said,
---------------------------------------
I and I acknowledge Africa as the origin of all roots and know that I and I originally came from Africa too, but I and I people left Africa long long ago, while the Africans were forceably removed. Repatriation is not for I and I, however it is for the Africans, who have every right to return to the country from which they were taken, and I and I will fight for this right along side I African bredrin and sistrin.
'Africa for Africans home and abroad' as Garvey said.
---------------------------------------
It is nice to see other white skin people that sight this. I spoke about this in a reasoning Question for white skinned people who want to live in Africa.. Many white rastas don't like when I tell them that, but I don't like it when they think they have a right over the land of the Africans when they don't. A day will come when people of all races will move freely throughout the earth, but in that time people will respect the family unto whom RasTafarI gave dominion over that part of the Earth, and none will attempt to kill, steal from or rule over another, but that time will not come for a while. Some white people in the past, today and in the near future are and will be welcome in the part of Africa they Live; those who are welcome are not the ones who think they have a right over the land, but are those who work to serve a useful purpose to the people of that Nation.
As I reasoned in the link above,
----------------------------------------------
RasTafarI people don't speak of Repatriation for Africans to Africa because they decided to pick Africa out of all the places of the world because Africa is some special place that people must go to.
RasTafarI people speak of Repatriation of Africans to Africa because Africa is the home of Africans. I and I are speaking for the Ones that were taken away from Africa and used as Slaves in the West. I and I are speaking of returning a people to the Home they were taken from.
The role of all RasTafarI people(of all colour) is to Live by the example of Jah RasTafarI. I and I are also the Ones sent to Chant and Rise in the Spiritual heights and perform the works of the seals opened by RasTafarI. I and I are also the Ones who speak and chant for Repatriation of Africans to Africa. I and I also speak and chant in support of all the downpressed in the world and speak and chant against all the downpressors. One example is that I and I don't speak about the First Nations(Indian) people being Repatriated to Africa. I and I speak and chant for the First Nations people to have the control of their land (North America) returned to them.
----------------------------------------------
In I trod, I have found very few people who are RasTafarI SoulJahs with strong Irits, and the few that I have come across are black people. There are some white people who show some Irits, but they don't have the strength I see in the RasTafarI SoulJahs and I don't know if they will stay with RasTafarI. There are many white rastas I have seen that don't seem to show any Irits, and some look more like hippies than RasTafarI. As I said, even among the black people I have come across, there are only a few with such strength, but at least there are some that roam in these parts (Toronto, Canada). When I speak to Idren around I they show I the same thing that there are only a handful, whether black or white, that are trodding in these Irits, and that they don't know another white person in this place that trods with the Ites that I do. One of I Idren who is from Jamaica showed I that he knows a few other RasTafarI with white skin in Jamaica who are trodding in the Ites. I know that there are others, but there are too many who say or think they are RasTafarI, but are not, because they are trying to become something they are not, rather than learning to be who they are.
I never ran away from Fire, I ran towards it to burn Iself into submission unto Jah RasTafarI, and that is the biggest factor that seems to be missing in those who say RasTafarI, but are not trodding as RasTafarI. How can Fire people run from Fire, Fire must be embraced until they become Fire. When an Idren of mine would rebuke I, I would not get vex or try to avoid it, I would humble Iself and accept the teaching and Learn to improve Iself, and more importantly I rebuke I own self when I deal with foolishness because I am aware of all I thoughts and works, so nothing is hidden unless I choose to ignore it. And from time to time if I ignore it, when I come to I senses I rubuke Iself for the foolishness and also for the foolishness of ignoring it.
