Victory of Adwa March 1st 1896
The Battle of Adwa, in which Ethiopian forces under Emperor Menelik II united to defeat an invading force of Italian troops, was one of the most significant turning points in the history of modern Africa. It occurred, in 1896, when the “colonial era” was well advanced on the African continent, and it served notice that Africa was not just there “for the taking” by European powers. More than this,...
Alcofall
I have seen nuff bredrin fall to the temptations of alcohol. It’s like watching dominoes. One bredrin starts drinking, then the rest follow. The Elders of Rastafari do not condone alcohol in any manner. Burn alcohol. It’s a distraction.

Amusement
Go on, amuse yourself with all of the distractions babylon offers. Meanwhile, your freedom has been taken along with your self determination. Silly People.
Don't shoot the messenger...
Unfortunately, the messenger often ends up getting shot anyway. As I see it, the real cautionary tale is in not worshipping the messenger. I see a whole heap of Bob idolatry on tumblr and elsewhere. He was a man, his message was for African Liberation through the divine powers of Haile Selassie I. Bob pointed everyone towards Emperor Haile Selassie I yet many still just want get...
Come we go reason now.
Iron sharpens Iron. Send iman a question or share some knowledge.
Crystal Clear
InI, Rastafari children, see His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie the First as the Almighty. There is no compromise for this view. In plain terms, He is God. There are many diverse doctrines regarding the Rastafari livity and the movement, especially online.

”For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim...
Eye 'N' Eye
Use your inner eye as some will seem to be Rastafari, but are really rascals whereas others look like a baldhead, but are really Rastafari.
Black Istory
Every month should be black history month until the whole world realizes the contribution that Africa and Africans have made. For long time it’s been white history year, white history decade, white history century. Time to throw out the textbooks and create new ones based on reality not fable.
_________ is the root of all evil
I hear ones say money is the root of all evil. Well, money is just paper and I’m confident trees are not the root of all evil. Greed breeds evil.
Reality
As Rastafari, we don’t deal with fantasy. We don’t deal with a God way up in the sky or heaven in the clouds. We know Haile Selassie I is real and that Ethiopia is a real place.
