They say cultural/philosophical association/appropriation. I say truth acceptance. All people are ORIGINally AFRICAN! All true human struggle for freedom is done for the cause of uplifting Mother Africa.

This is the problem. We cannot all identify as African. Firstly I would say, all evidence points to the White Man as we know today, being first created or mutated in the Asian-European areas. Not what one would label as Africa. Those people in that area ever since that OOA separation have had a culture history and identity exclusive to ourselves. An exclusive experience. Genetically represented by the mitochondria haplogroups A B and E . Focusing on more recent times, the corruption of the White supremacist system is something I see you identify and all praises for it. But overstand, our black experience in this Iwa is somewhat and necessarily unique to ourselves. You cannot put yourself into that label, just as you cannot call yourself a woman and say we all came from women as your argument. Same goes for the experience of being white, see the reasoning we had on white privilege. Your mother and your father have a family history Whe go way back, it may not lead you into Africa. If you want to read the bible and live by Levitical Torah law and leave peacefully with man and nature, do so; in a way which can manifest itself in a culture which is indigenous or representative of YOU. But make no mistake; Rastafari is black love black upliftment and black liberation. I've seen it. Finally, if I am mistaken, I can't see any mistake in the words of His Majesty... Who clearly defined what an African is, and our mission
Black redemption is Rastafari
We Africans will fight
