Rastfari is a religion, God bless Bob Marley:\n\nJah One Love!\n\nRastafari movement\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nHaile Selassie I\nEnlarge\nHaile Selassie I\n\nRasta, or the Rastafari movement, is a religious movement that accepts Haile Selassie I, the former emperor of Ethiopia, as King of Kings, Lord of Lords and the Lion of Judah as Jah (the Rastafari name for God, from a shortened form of Jehovah found in Psalm 68:4 in the King James Version of the Bible), and part of the Holy Trinity. The name Rastafari comes from Ras Täfäri, the pre-coronation name of Haile Selassie I. The movement emerged in Jamaica among working-class and peasant black people in the early 1930s, arising from an interpretation of Biblical prophecy, black social and political aspirations, and the teachings of their prophet, Jamaican black publicist and organiser Marcus Garvey, whose political and cultural vision helped inspire a new world view. The movement is sometimes called "Rastafarianism"; however, this is considered improper and offensive by Rastas.\n\nThe Rastafari movement has spread throughout much of the world, largely through immigration and interest generated by Nyahbinghi and reggae music—most notably, that of Bob Marley, who was baptised Berhane Selassie (Light of the Trinity) by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church before his death, a step also taken later by his widow Rita. By 2000, there were more than one million Rastafari worldwide. About five to ten percent of Jamaicans identify themselves as Rastafari. Most Rastafarians are vegetarian or only eat limited types of meat, and in the US you can find numerous West Indian vegetarian restaurants.

There are white Rastas in the world, but it's a relatively recent developement, since Rastafarianism was founded on the concept that Blacks were morally superior to Whites, and that Whites where the source of all evil in the world.\n\nSince the 70's and 80's, the Rasta movement has become much more secularized, and therefore less rigid

It refers to slavery, when Africans were selling other Africans to white slavers. The included website describes it very well.\n\nhttp://www.strike-the-root.com/4/jackson/jackson7.html

is a system of divination that originated in West Africa among the Yoruba people. The system is also practiced among believers in Lucumi, (sometimes referred to as Santería), Candomblé, and similarly transplanted Orisa'Ifa lineages in the New World.

Yes they are and I can prove it, The whole bible prophecies the history of blacks, blacks have always seen the similarities but never made the connection. Didn't you know blacks during the slave trade was know by Muslims as "Yahoodee" meaning tribe of Israel? Did you know at of all the people on the face of the Earth who claim to be Hebrews would envy the Ashanti's. The name mean people for the land of Ashan in Judah? Did you it was a place during the slave trade call the "Land of Judah" by the french? Did you ever hear of the Falasha's or beta Israel, Ibo's, Lemba, Yoruba, Fanti, etc. Were call Israelites by Muslims over 1000 years ago? Look it up the Hebrew/Jewish customs in Africa, you will find lots of info. Especially in on the west coast of Africa.

An Orisha (also spelled Orisa and Orixa) is a spirit that reflects one of the manifestations of Olodumare (God) in the Yoruba spiritual (or religious) system. \nThis religion has found its way throughout the world and is now expressed in several varieties which include Anago, Oyotunji, Candomblé and Lucumí/Santería. These varieties (or spiritual lineages as they are called) are practiced throughout areas of Brazil, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, the United States, Mexico and Venezuela. \nAs interest in African indigenous religions (spiritual systems) grows, Orisa communities and lineages can be found in parts of Europe and Asia as well. \nWhile estimates vary, there could be more than one million adherents of this spiritual tradition worldwide.\n\nFundamentally a religion that believes that there is one GOD, the Orisa faith believes in a creator deity, 'Olorun' or 'Olodumare', who is removed from the day-to-day affairs of human beings on Earth. Instead, adherents of the religion appeal to deified ancestors and culture-heroes for help with their problems. Faithful believers will also generally consult a geomantic divination specialist, known as a babalawo, to mediate on their problems and foretell future events. This practice is known as Ifa, and is still an important part of life throughout West Africa. \nUNESCO, the cultural and scientific education arm of the United Nations, declared Ifa a Masterpiece of Humanity's Oral and Intangible Heritage in 2005.
