Haile Selassie Racist?

[IronFist]

kinda glad you made this thread MBJ got a open-ended question i need to seek clarity on:

does anyone know if Selassie I was a member of the Rosicrucian movement?

This is a continuation series of how black people, particularly descendants of West Africans continuously fawn over Eritreans, Ethiopians, Egyptians, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Brazilians etc etc. Why none of these people ever laud the achievements of western africa. Why travel to Ghana, Mail, Senegal, Nigeria is never spoke about or even considered is telling.

Anyways I came across this piece about Hailie Selassie. I don't know much about Rastafarian culture but why do Jamaicans praise this man who was racist? Like what significance does he have to Rastas/Jamaican culture?



Why did a man who looked like this

yeah it's weird how so many in the diaspora cling tight Ethiopia and Egypt with, when
Africans all over Africa pay homage to Songhai, Sudan/Nubia, and Kingdom of Congo.

Sudan and Nubia were older than Egypt and the people were dark skin, but the dudes who always
greet people with hotep everyday have grip to Egypt and Ethiopia like their dna points there.

Gotta laugh at those nikkas

Most East African are cool, they definitely consider themselves black. Some of them do have a superiority complex though.

Hey I'm not a horner im just telling you what they pull into arguments. I find myself putting them in their places quite a bit when they get all uppity. They tend to talk about nappy hair and big lips, wide nose and use condescending terms like ape and monkey. You see them do it on this very site, but I keep my mouth closed. Many (not all) fall for the european standard that think thinn lips and slim nose is most attractive (lot of west africans think its fem on men tho lol). But what they dont know is that I know when they go into arabia they're seen as the monkeys, so you'd think they'd talk to us a bit differently. But hey if the jews can look down on palestinians despite going thru what they did in germany, I guess it's only to be expected by some humans.

but it goes both ways, some nigerians clown the fukk outta east africans, calling them famine, skinnies, fufu hair, and girls.
