THE LIVITY OF RASTAFARI. UNTOLD STORIES



If a man is walking down the street with a bible in hand, you wouldn't say: here goes a Christian. If a Japanese man passed by you, neither would you say: good morning Budda. And if an Arab looking man with a full face of beard approaches, you wouldn't say here comes Mohammed. So why it is that every dread-lock sporting person is deemed as Rastafari.
Do we truly understand, or as the rasta would say overstand what it truly means to be Ras Tafari. With modernization, has come the revision of Jah Laws for the convenience of man; with a mixture of fashion and fakes intermingled among 12 tribes. With Bobo and Nyabingi, who is truly reflective of the authentic livity of Rastafari?
