Recently, i got to meet this white youth from Italy through other friends.
Before i got to speak to him, i knew he was one of those who loved reggae music, and though he is not even close to overstanding Rastafari, i knew it was safe to say, he had learned, through the music, some of the basic things.
So finally i get to speak to him, you know, initial small talk.....and he asked i where im from, and i said Ethiopia
lol, immediately, i saw his face change
He had this almost apologetic look on his face.............but i just let it pass...i said something like, Italy eh, thats nice.....and left it.
So over the recent weeks, i got to know the youth a bit more and found he is a good hearted youth
Then just the other day, we were just talking and i said to him, just in passing , i said, hey, i should introduce you to my mom..........i said that to him because, everytime i see him, i hear him use some italian words, and my parents generation all speak italian, and my mom loves to speak it every chance she gets
so anyway,
as soon as i said that, i see that apologetic look on his face and he says something like, oh i dont know if thats good, maybe your mom wont like me....
and i was like huh?
and he went on something about, oh, its so bad, the history reh reh
and i told him right there, stop that right now, because you speak folly, no Ethiopian will judge you by what your people did time ago, but by your own actions and words.
Sight, i knew where he was coming from. As i said, he loves reggae music, and who can tell how many times the youth had heard someone say Burn Rome in the music
But it still saddens i that just because ini say Burn Rome, they would equate it with ini saying burn all the people, white, italians, or whatever
Just as it saddens i that when Marcus is chanting Down Europe, people would take it as if he is chanting down all white people.
When Marcus chant down europe, or ini say burn Rome, ini wish is only to destroy the false idealogy of white supremacy
And the i them need to realise one thing, it does not help the reasoning to say, oh, there are good and bad in the white race, there are good and bad in the black race.
Yes, it is true, to say that, but it just is not part of this reasoning, it only helps to steer the reasoning from the reality of THIS particular reasoning
White people have to accept that they have been in charge of this world for a very long time now, and they must accept responsibility for the state that the world finds itself in today.
No matter how many white people are good, or how many are bad.....look where mankind finds itself today under the stewardship of the white race, right on the brink of total destruction.
And for this Rastafari call, for this Black Supremacy call, come back from the brink before its too late, gather ALL the nations back to the Black King of Iration
Do not be afraid of the word Black, Black is what you are, all i righteous idren of all nations
Black is not something you learn now, black is what you learned when Man and Woman first walked on the earth
Black is thou shalt not kill, black is love thy neighbour, black is there is no other God besides the One God, Holy I Selassie I Jah Rastafari
Jah Love You All Family
Rastafari
