Give me a quick run-down on Rastafarianism, I know literally

>>3380063
It whorships some Ethiopian or something king (Hailé Selassié if I remember) and weed.

>>3380063
Duuuude Weeeeed. Hahahaha XD

Basically, the penultimate king of Ethiopia was the reincarnation of Jesus, but he got deposed or something, so he has to come back again and all the Black people are the real Jews, while the non Whites are Babylon.

>started in Jamaica
>believe Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia is (was, since he's dead now) reincarnated jesus
>blacks are the chosen people because of this
>smoking marijuana is a sacrament
>emphasis on twisting your hair into dreads, patriarchal gender roles (their words not mine), and Ital diet which for most is vegetarian

After Selassie and Bob Marley died, the movement seriously lost steam

>>3380063
It's literally dude weed lmao. They just replace wine with cannabis for the sacrament. They also try to larp as Ethiopians but also follow Marcus Garvey's ideology and imitate Hindu sadhus's appearance and customs.
A similar sect has sprung up in Perú which uses coca leaves as a sacrament and they also have similar ideas about hair being an extension of the nervous system and therefore like antennas.

Mah Nigus

>>3380135
Also no alcohol is allowed and some take to eating only 'ital' food which is basically anything raw and vegan. Probably also follow the Deuteronomic code more strictly.

Oh also, when they say "I and I" what they mean is "the body and the spirit"

>>3380132
>emphasis on twisting your hair into dreads
This is so you can be a nazarite like Samson. I'm guessing that's why they smoke weed so much, since Nazarites can't drink

My question is did the King of Ethiopia claim to be Jesus, or did people just decide he was? I guess it makes a touch of sense, since the Ethiopian dynasty literally claimed unbroken descent from Solomon and the Messiah has to be of the line of David.

It's blacks suffering from an inferiority complex and appropriating anything non Sub-Saharan as a way to legitimize themselves as superior in the modern world.

>>3380063
DUDE

>>3380147
>My question is did the King of Ethiopia claim to be Jesus, or did people just decide he was?

No they decided he was, he only found out about it years later and honestly was kinda wierded out about the whole thing.

>>3380148
Like what they do with Egypt in recent times?

Black people are weird.

>>3380161
It's a New World (specially American) thing apparently. Actual Africans actually know their history.

>>3380161
>Appropriating a fellow African country is weird.

>>3380155
Honestly, it's a little weird that the line of Solomon had semilegitimate claim as late as 1936. I mean, it probably didn't literally date back to ~1000BC, but still fairly impressive. Has to be one of the longest dynasties.

>>3380112

What makes is funnier is that the late Haile Sellasse is a devout orthodox christian and even tried to quash Rastafarian belief that he's a black jesus

It's basically anti-colonialist black and black-south asian Evangelical Christians turned fundamentalists that lean into Judaic practices.

Religion always shifts and melds to the needs and interpretations of it's founders. Tbh westerners sensationalize everything as if it's so peculiar but it's honestly not.

Jamaicans saw our nation's ability to combat Italy as a triump in a critical point in time and took it as a prophecy.

Rastafari has spread around the globe to support anti-colonialist struggle elsewhere. The emperor gave land to some but with the Derg that land was kind of taken back.

Still Carib and American Rasta are still around in Ethiopia and unironically the young adults my community in Israel use Rasta iconography and imagery with their own issues there.

It kinda went full circle.

True.
But then again all the blacks in the New World have nothing in common with Ethiopia. They're all from West Africa.
If they seek pride in something, they should go Malcolm X and become muslims in the vein of Mali/Nigeria or hell, go full voudon.
But very few blacks in the US go there because they're in Walmart protestant societies. The blacks in the non-Brit colonial New World societies don't. What's happening in their communities is more interesting.

>>3380328
Well that and as I've said in other threads, all the detailed historical information on those kingdoms is in French. Which they can't read.

>>3380328
I'm not going to get in the details now but you really don't understand or get Rastafari nor Selassie and your understanding of Africa and African regionalism is rooted in Western cultural imperialism.

>durr ur wrong n ignorant, won't tell you why

What's not to understand?
They're doing the exact same thing whites do in America with Europe.
Like when a half Irish half Polish dude thinks the Italian Renaissance is also somehow his "race" doing it, claiming all whites are in it together. That's an inherently American attitude. And blacks are doing the exact same thing when they look to the "African motherland" and think Ethiopians are somehow their nephews.

>>3380448
Pan-Africanism existed and was formed on both sides of the Atlantic anon as a direct result of European Imperialism and White Supremacy.

Way too dark to look anywhere near that. They just look like a bunch of hobos. Most Jamaicans don't even like them very much.

>>3380328
>They should go Malcolm X and become muslims in the vein of Mali/Nigeria

Fuck no, the last thing we need is more of that shit. I would rather Black America as a whole to wake up and realize that both Islam and Christianity was not only never meant for them, but was also used to justify their enslavement for hundreds of years, especially Islam as black people are still sold in the Middle East to this day.

To be fair, I do see what you mean. A large amount of the slaves brought over from West (and Central, there's some Bantu ancestry in black people of the diaspora, though you'll find more of it the further south you go like in Latin America) Africa were Muslims thanks to North Africans trading with them. It's why Boko Haram, which is pretty much West Africa's ISIS, has a stronghold in Northern Nigeria.

>>3381466

Some of them aren't actually black. From what I've seen, actual black posters aren't as dramatic as some of the more flagrant shitposters on /his/.

Hey, I wouldn't have picked African Slaves. I'd have enslaved the natives if I had to have slaves. I'd rather just hire some Europeans so I didn't become Brazil.

>>3381514
Yeah, I know. If you tell someone what they believe in is incorrect, they will mentally double down on it and tell you to fuck off.

>>3381534
Natives were too weak, sick and/or small in numbers depending on the place. Also in spanish colonies they were eventually made subjects on the king so you can't enslave them, you need to abuse indigenous methodsvof gathering manpower like the mita and this means you only get to "enslave" the amount of guys that the indian chief is willing to give. Not a lot of free men would work on sugar plantations so whited are out of the equation.

>>3381522
Go check the archives (do we have an archive on a different site?), he should be there. He's one of those Hebrew Israelite loons.

>>3381534
The Spanish worked/raped the Natives to extinction or near-extinction depending on where you are. There is a reason why the only native Caribs left are on far away, Dutch speaking islands. I would imagine the Portuguese doing the same thing, which is why until quite recently, the white population of Brazil was small. They importated so many black slaves because they kept dying in terrible condition, and the Natives nearly died out due to them getting it worse early on. White Brazilians had to ship in Europeans so they wouldn't get what the French (not white people as a whole, despite what some would tell you) had coming to them in Haiti.

Semitic people still aren't a race, they're more like an ethno-linguistic group who share both a root language and a similar ethnic background. You wouldn't call all Iberian people a race would you?

Try calling a Nigerian a Bantu and see what happens, I dare ya. Besides, Bantus and West Africans aren't exactly guilt free either (especially Bantus, they kicked the shit out of the Khoikhoi, San, and various Pygmy groups). Need I remind you of Dahomey (now Benin)?

>>3381794
Bantus migrated from the West and look very similar. The insult in Amharic meaning "Flat faced" applies to them as well

Theres a hierarchy of in the horn built off of facial features. A dark skinned Cushite is treated better than a light skinned bantu.

For Jamaicans to actively ignore this is so fucking dumb

>>3381777
>Negro looking

What do you mean by Negro looking? Do you mean not looking like a light skinned Ethiopian? Because Nilo-Saharans and Cushites are the darkest skinned people in Africa, and many of them have more stereotypically "black" features than other Horners.

It doesn't mean they're the same people anymore anon. Proto-Bantus originated from parts of Southeast Nigeria and Cameroon as a whole, which is located in Central Africa, and the common ancestors of West Africans left Southern Africa around 80,000 years ago.

I mean yeah, it's literally west of East Africa in general, but it's pretty dumb to call them all the same, though I do see what you mean. By the way, I'm a Jamaican American, and I can tell you now that while Rasta shit is a minority in Jamaica, most Jamaicans view race the same way Americans do: It's black, so it's the same.

>>3381813
He could honestly "pass" for an interesting looking African American or Black Hispanic, but there's a very obvious reason as to why. I actually know a Black Cuban who has a very similar facial structure to that guy, but because he's a Black guy in the diaspora, he most likely has some European DNA.

>>3381820
Where is this from? I remember seeing something about it being either a Nubian woman and a Greek woman, or was it an Egyptian woman instead.

>>3381864

No, but it's an Ethiopian woman, Ethiopian means burnt face. That's just what Greeks called black people. It's almost useless to argue where the Black woman came from, could have been anywhere

It's a cute little jug that compares Greek women with Ethiopian women.

Thanks to me trying to figure out exactly where in Africa most of my ancestors came from, I found out that Jamaica had a large amount of Akan descended people (like the Ashanti), and Ghanaians in general There are even some words in Jamaican patois that are directly descended from Akan people, like "anansi", which means spider.

The foundations of modern Pan-Africanism derives from Henry Sylvester-Williams of Trinidad who migrated from NYC/Halifax to London and formed the first "Pan African Conference" with representatives of the Anglophone Caribbean, North American and African world.

The formation of Pan-Africanism has always been the result of both sides of the Atlantic as I stated before. Cross Pollination of ideas and ideals from African and African Diasporan missionary work and Christian based racial equity movements.

It is out of the understanding that in a world governed by European definitions in concepts of Africa, African, Black race and Blackness the need for consensus and collaboration was necessary.

It was an anti-racist movement that sprung forth as a response to White domination.

This is seen later with Fanon who was a liberation anti-colonialist fighter who represented Algeria in the first Pan African Congress of African nations and also Kwame influenced by Ethiopia inverted their colors to represent the first liberated African nation.

It's foolish to ignore how Caribs and Americans influenced and helped shape foundation African identity. It's also ignorant to ignore the Longitudinal formation of Sahelian nation states from West to East Soudan.
