      @@AmeriChrisTheMage Usage is nothing more than a majority of speakers choosing to say one thing over another. Since the majority of people are stupid and don't think about what they say or don't know better, when it comes to a question of style, the fact that phrase A is more common than phrase B is completely irrelevant. That line of thought simply comes down to: the majority think this way, therefore it must be right. If you aren't a complete moron, you should be able to realize that's bullshit.
      Using language the way others use it requires only imitation. Using language correctly, meaningfully, comes down to such things as sensibility and logic.
      Besides which, I don't believe you're even right in asserting that "jerry-rigged" is more widespread. *You* might think it is, but that doesn't make it so.

      calichef1962 Nope. Lucy isn’t even human. She is an Australopithecus Afarensis. This means that her species is either the ancestor of all humans or relatives of the ancestors of all humans. And by human I mean homo. That’s right. Like us, Homo sapiens sapiens. But even then, some Homo species aren’t exactly humans. Those we can certainly call humans are the subspecies of Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens sapiens (us), Homo sapiens neanderthalensis (Neanderthals) and Homo Sapiens Denisova. They looked similar to us, interbred with us and were just as smart. Btw Lucy isn’t even the oldest human ancestor or relative found. Just the most famous.

      Ethiopia and Armenia are one of the first few nation's to convert to Christ. It is some what argued that in the book of Phillp an Ethiopian eunuch baptized himself during that time period of the gospel. From Lilabela to the strong prosteant/orthodox faith of Christianity held within Ethiopia, in particular Habeshas, Ethiopia is arguably more "Western" than "African" culturally. Christianity helped cement Ethiopias status in the world more than any other influence ever could.

Formed and open AU, tried to have one military for Africa, sent military support to Congo, Mau Mau's fights trained Mandela and hundreds of PAC and ANC youth..Sent military aide to WS Republic and stopped the war in Mahgreb...I can name thousand ways he tried to instil pan Africanism, even the fact there are 5 African teams at the world cup was his influence and persistence with Yidnekachew. It can not be said he didn't want African unity. The fact that he tried too much for that and being away for a long periods of time was the end of him...

Why should Haile Selassie 1st blaspheme himself and say that he is God. All that Christ came to do was to fulfill the law what was written of him before his coming .He spoke Amharic, was head of the EOC, was of a Cushitic Semitic union, Ethiopia never colonized it was the land where God choose to dwell, only leader to face the league of nations and the United Nations. Earth's oldest Christian nation. Ark of the covenant in Ethiopia, black Madonna and child. I say Rastafari the Christ and not Jesus the Christ.

For Iam man but still we claim Jesus to be the god of our prayers yet if you read your bibles it claim jesus to be from the royal lineage of david and he also was reffered to as the king of the Jews
      And the king of kings so in those times to now God never change he will always be the king of kings over all kings of the earth and still he will also never mention his self to be god but tell you that he is only man like always" if you read your bibles correctly with True knoweledge of ethnicity and culture barriers you will know that the lion of judah as christ himself the triumphant onewill always over come Haile selassie is Yeshuas Kristos of our mother mary return in these lastdays as he said he would in the book of revelation to to overthrow the devil and his army which is the pope and his entire congregation remember the longest war between two nations in history is between the army of god and his roghteous kingdom and the devil that beatifull deceptive serpent and his army. From the very begginigs of creation Rome have been trying to destroy and overcome Ethiopia 🇪🇹 when god already told us in psalms 87 that Ethiopia is his Garden Zion and thats where his soul loves to reside . Truth over Religion anytime anywhere, but if you do want to take it to religion ....then I can say...Ethiopia is also the oldest christian nation lol oh good god of mercy I soooo give thanks for truth 😘 I love you all mankind may the lord and his grace be with you from the grounds of jerusalem to the shores of ethiopia did you guys remember when how the queen of Ethiopia Queen Osheba king solomons later wife Rejoiced and shouted for Joy!!! In inspecable beauty and delight when the arc of of the covenant came to Ethiopia 🇪🇹 😍 That was a wonderfull day for humanity and God he was so happy for his covenant to be in the place that he love more than all the dwellings of jacob lol love you guys the lamb and the lion be with your souls coming from a youth I bless you in the mighty name of the holy trinity father, Mother,and child....Iam not anti-white but I do recomend African people to know that they are the bright and morning star 🌞 From a Far ⛰ land . I know and love the gospel of Jesus christ because now I know who he is lol Why wait until a rapture or wait until I die to see him when he told me the earth is the lord and the fullness and whoever seek his kingdom all things shall be added ...blessed n love ..truth and light....No Roman God...One god of israel For all nations...And yeah, by the way I will also leave you with this before i get too carried away..Ethiopians are the Original Israelite Jews..lol..Who want to argue ..Oh god of my tender age I just love the Truth .

    It's worth noting that at the time Jamaicans chose to pledge allegiance to a black king they were expected to pledge allegiance to a British monarch in terms we don't think about in the same way today. I think it was (and is) as much about political rebellion as religious rebellion. In fact I would say that there are many more shared political goals than religious ones among the Rastafari.

    Selassie came to Jamaica in 1963. Hundreds of Rastas came to meet him at the airport, when he looked out the window and saw them, he was so scared, because he had never heard of them before. His little granddaughter was crying He refused to get out of the plane and Jamaican officials had to go on the plane and explain who they were and he told them he was no God, and when he got off the plane, he talked to the rastas explaining that he was not God They didn't listen and are still worshiping him today

    Haile Selassie never regarded himself as God, nor did he adhere to Rastafari. Rastafarians regard Haile Selassie I asGod because Marcus Garvey's prophecy - "Look to Africa where a black king shall be crowned, he shall be the Redeemer" - was swiftly followed by the ascension of Haile Selassie as Emperor of Ethiopia.

      @egodeosum 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I might not have gone with the word racist here but it is difficult to parse race based nationalism from racism. He was antisemitic, and against miscegenation. He'd probably find a lot of agreement with the alt right and their insistence on ethnonationalism. I have no qalms calling them racist. Ive seen people online assert that racism requires power, but I do not buy that because power structures are ill defined. I prefer to divide the world into racists and antiracists. I was busy paraphrasing Ibram X. Kendi but then decided it would be better just to suggest you look for his book. If you can meet with with the klan and find your goals overlapping you're certainly not an antiracist.
      I do hesitate to judge Gravey from a historically priveledged position. I wouldn't know what response to centuries of oppression would seem most appropriate or justified at the turn of the 20th century. Maybe the hope of racial integration would have seemed wholly naive. Frankly I'm not sure I could convincingly argue against someone who as yet remains sceptical today. I'm glad he had his opponents in Civil rights activists in the US and black marxists. I draw a comparison with Gandhi. Of course he is rightfully respected as the leading figure of indian independence and his commitment to pacifism, but I'm not sure I could fault anymore who lacked Gandhi's patience. Indeed after Jallianwala Bagh massacre it could be argued that it would be immoral to insist indians maintain nonviolence. An armed uprising would probably worked out worse for the subcontinent than the manner in which history did play out, but the ethics of a decision or preechings can't take outcome into consideration.

    • @RareEarthSeries
      @RareEarthSeries  4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Racism in no way requires the means to oppress. It is merely the idea that races exist, and are a distinct identity to hold onto, rather than a socially-derived in-grouping and out-grouping.
      I'm not saying Garvey was wrong in doing so, per se, but there's no question he fits the definition of a racist. He believed in, and propagated, racially constructed ideas.

    • @egodeosum
      @egodeosum 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      ​@@RareEarthSeries I don't think you can say something doesn’t exist just because it's socially constructed. National identities are also constructed, but that's little comfort to a Palestinian*. I'm white. Marcus Garvey was black. We are both Leos btw, luckily that identity is so inconsequential that I can safely ignore it and avoid those who do put stock in it.
      Those racial categories might be crude and in certain disciplines useless, but they are consequential whether we embrace them or not. You might hope for a future in which we have overcome those divisions, but to insist they don't exist isn't at all helpful. An unwillingness to acknowledge race might at be well meaning, but we live in a world with inherited and actual injustices , unconscious biases, and prejudices in all spheres of life which do fall along racial lines. That way lies dismissing any efforts to address those issues as racially motivated, identity politics, and therefore racist. It's the argument of those who respond to black lives matter with all lives matter. You don't create a better world by pretending you already live in one. Racial identities are a fact of life, and we have to deal with them accordingly.
      The difference between the racist and the antiracist is not that the one thinks that race exists and the other does not. The Antiracist sees it as something to ultimately overcome, while the racist believes there is value to those divisions. To overcome oppression groups may need to assert themselves against the dominant group and in doing so embrace the identity, hence black power and black is beautiful movements. By your definition those movements would be racist, but I believe they could be working in accordance with an antiracist agenda.
      The question is whether the same could be argued for black nationalism. I'm inclined to abhor nationalism, but I have the luxury of being born at the tail end of a century which was a crash course in the perils of nationalism. Maybe a hundred years ago nationalism would have been at least as reasonable position as integration.

    Haile Selassie 1 and His legacy is for the individual (irrespective of race or religion) to decipher who He is. In 1956 (approx), a very presumptuous young journalist in Jamaica asked H. I. Majesty "When do you plan to tell the rastas that you're not God". His Majesty's response was "Why should I deny there faith". The big paradox is 72 nations (02.11.1930) was witnessed and collectively agreed that He is The Almighty Creator. To believe that He only came for the disenfranchised blacks would be disingenuous. He bears the highest office that could ever be attained by a human being, 'King of Kings and Lord of Lords' (Rev 19 - 20). Will you also "hide your face and run"?....He is beginning and the end.

I have also been to west Africa and Southern Africa and other East African countries. I was taking about culture not looks. Horner culture is extremely different from that of west Africa. Ethiopians speak a Semitic language, Amharic, which you claim to know. On the topic of looks they do have a very different look though. You can see it so clearly if you’ve ever been there. Sure they are black but Africa is an extremely diverse continent and the west and east are completely different.

HAILE SELASSIE 1ST came to me in a vision about 6 years back. Dressed in pure white linnen. Came with the lightning and the clouds. I never know who he was. I man dont hang out with RASTAFARI or had any knowledge of RASTAFARI. 3 years ago he came back as a Mighty powerful lion in my living room a morning I woke 3.33 am. I was reading Ezekiel and ask the Almighty God to reveal himself to me. Then came the Lion. As I woke up I saw Haile SELASSIE 1ST on my computer screen and then the journey starts. Today I man can answer your question. Only Christ sheeps shall hear his voice. He come for those in shackles and chains. To free the mind and full it earthly wisdom. The bible tell u Christ alone shut the throne of David then returns. None of King David children have never been out of rulership but Haile SELASSIE 1ST. Patients is a virtue. No man put time on Jah. Jah disappeared 1975 and no one but we his children seen Jah. Jah still living. Conquer death. Christ is the Almighty. Rev. 3.12 I shall come in a new name and show u my new Kingdom on earth. Without earth nothing manifest. We all see each other. Back then many seee the Christ and ignore Him until the cry become louder and louder. This times it's the King who comes to look and judge with ritiosness. Be humble and watch the events of the world. U made this video in the perfect season. This is the season but we know not the hour. Christ say I shall give u dreams and visions. We Jamaicans are descendants of great oppression and injustices. Just like all the Caribbean and all black Diaspora. Psalms 68. When Jah visit his people and promise them I shall bring again from the depth of the seas. U need to read all yuh bible with a earthly meaning. The blind is leading the blind for a long time now. Read the Dead Sea scrolls and it tell u about the Lions. Tell the lions come to testify about the MAJESTY of God Almighty. I man became a Lion from that day of visit. Got visited by Lions many times after. Remember David temple and Solomon was full of Lions in bible. Be patient. Be still. The Trumpet is sounding in the deep west. Do u know the meaning of these things? All things have a season. All Kings are appointed by the Almighty. The Truth is at hand. RASTAFARI IS THE CONQUERING LION OF JUDAH. Rev. 5. And I look and behold no man on earth, under the earth or in heaven was worthy enough to open and read the scrolls. Then the Angel said weep not. The Lion of the Tribe of Judah shall prevail and open all scrolls. RASTAFARI. God is 7 spirit in man. God is not alien or too hard to find. U seek u shall find. I knock the door shall be open. There is all kinda of RASTAFARI from every race who knock and seek God and find only one man. I seen many. RASTAFARI
