Can white people become Rastafarians?
- The love of and for mankind is not specific to a race but instead to the spiritual manifestation of your heart. Yes King Haile Selassie was born in Ethiopia, but many consider the land of Cush, an extension of G*d's Holy Land (and not as much a separate continent distanced from the Holy Land). Beyond that, there are many accounts the Selassie and many Ethiopians don't consider themselves "black" per se, but more a ancient lineage of Semitic people from Israel. (http://www.madote.com/2010/03/were-ethiopian-leaders-colonialist.html) Couple that with some of our greatest messengers in the 20'th and 21'st century are "mixed" race themselves. Bob Marley and his sons have both black and white blood flowing through them. In conclusion, I have found myself in a spiritual journey for the past 30 years, and that journey has started and continues with Ras Tafari by my side. And not that its of significance, but I am a white Rastaman that is secure and happy with my place on this earth. Peace and blessings to all those individuals that are on a similar path in this life.
