its funny because ur not that older than me and u call me a kid relax man u will live longer, i dont want to get in an argument because i notice u do that a lot round here Peace
i didn't ask for an argument, i asked for a discussion. oh, and i can buy cigars. that makes me an adult
i dont think so, saying that ur an adult because u can buy cigars is quite funny, because ur basing yourself around a law. and i wasnt saying u werent an adult, which ur not in my eyes
natural philosophy is alot more intelligent then you think, dave... But why you callin marcus garvey an idiot for, Lunatic?

LLLLLOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!!!!!! @ ignorance... Anyway... back to the topic @ hand... Lunatic... wussup cuzz... what exactly do you mean Marcus Garvey was an idiot?
are u on crank, ur all over the place. u make ur self look stupid because u no nothing about me. im 1/2 black 1/2 cuban so u really shouldnt jump to conclusions and call me white. by the way your typing it sounds like ur a little pissed of wigger that lives in the suburbs , u try to hard. and stop riding naturals dick, i was talking to him not u and it wasnt that heated of a debate that u had to come in with ur 2 sense. i have nothing against natural, hes really smart and he owned my ass in another thread, but u my friend i have a problem with. i know this is a free speech forum but u really need to shut the fuck up. I hope u have the intelligance to read this much u ignorant piece of shit. Peace and love Wigga
marcus garvey was okay. i mean, he did try to do good things for his people. it's just that he tried to sell bonds he didn't own. oops. wassup locc
by the way to answer Rasprophecy, i didnt say anything about Marcus until he accused me, i dont know why he did. But yes Marcus said that white people were the devil. Now many rastas today reject this, infact there are a lot of white rastas.
dave, garvey didn't publicly criticize the white race. garvey was a separationalist pan africanist, who hated mixing races together. look up w.e.b. dubois and garvey's comments towards dubois' heritage. he was far from any sort of black supremist. he even spoke with members of the KKK to discuss shipping black americans to africa by the boat-load.
well considering that he was a pan-africanist, then the KKK would have been his biggest ally, wouldn't it?
well considering that that was only one part of his long life. he did a lot for the black american and jamaicans. everybody makes mistakes, i'm sure that what he did he thought was right at the time. i can't defend what he did, but his screw up moments were miniscule next to his accomplishments.
BACK TO THE TOPIC. i have had dreads on and off in my life ever since i was 13.. i first got them and did them myself... but i always said to myself that i would never get dreads without knowing the true reason why i had them and why other people had them. so i began to do alot of research and i talked with MANY people at different places about rastafari and the connections in life in the mind through nature. basically, in my book, having dreads comes down to the fact that you let your hair go NATURALLY (no wax, no combs, no anything), completely natural, and this is your part in saying to YOURSELF (who could possibly be JAH, who knows, it is up to you, and please do not argue because this is an opinion), that natural and simplicity is a way of life that can be discovered through letting yourself go and combining with nature, and as a result of this beauty, you get dread locks peace, lisa
