America is the only one that can help.

If America doesn't help, we'll just keep doing the same old shit for a very long time until we get a such a good man like Obama as a Muslim leader but the fact is, America is the most influential country in the world and if they are willing to help the middle east, Accept it.

You have never worked with anyone! Your comments prove your ignorance and complete intolerance for others.

GROW UP!!!

I've met hundreds of rastafarians as I worked with promoters, organizers and DJs on the West Coast. I know exactly what I am talking about and I never said they worship Haile Salasie. Underneath it all is black supremacy and if you think that Haile Selasie is "white" then you are just silly. Sorry, all of that "let's love each other, mon" is a crock of shit and Rastafianism is no better than your average Christian church. Same exact thing but you get to smoke herb.

sorry but thats complete bullshit, and youve obviously never met a rastafarian.

Selasie was white. So how can they see him as "some kind of christ" and at the same time hate white people or people of another race?

Please dont talk about shit you dont know anything about. and also Rastas DO NOT worship halie selasie idiot

You'll find that the people that claim to follow the teaching of Selasie and believe him to be some kind of Christ are very racist people. Yes, I'm talking about the rastafarians. Couldn't find a more racist bunch. He would have never made that statement if the blacks were in power. This is just another guilt trip.

What the hell are you talking about?

You never named a single country in that comment, you just went on about the west controlling our countries. Explain more please.

[hurataimad]

after 200 odd years of colonism 70-80 odd years of imperialism, our grandfathers speak of colonal mistrust of the westerner, our fathers tell us of their imperial mistrust of the western, telling how western governments controlled our countries from afar, why in god's name do you believe we are going to become people who trust the west, which has america at it's titular head?

you are a bizare person.

Obama's the Antichrist

Really that was your best response for everything I typed?

How did i fail at history?

Answer ONE question. Why did Hitler kill Jews? And What was WW2 about?

Thats all I have to say.

Also Japan joined the war as well because they saw themselves racially superior to the chinese and koreans. They did a campaign that in many ways was very similar to the holocaust.

The Germans and hitler accepted Japan as a slly as hitler saw them as the Aryan race of the east, because of their rich culture

Hope you understand now this isnt some crazy theory I came up wth this is FACT.

"Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned: .... until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race; until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained" - Emperor Hallie Selasie
