WHO AM I?

I AM A RASTA- MAN OUT OF CAPTIVITY  (VOLUNTARILY LIVING IN BABYLON ), WHY? I BELIEVE THAT JAH IS RULER OF ALL THINGS IN THIS WORLD AND OUT OF IT, THEREFORE EVERYTHING IS IN HIS HANDS ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE. I KNOW THAT BLACK PEOPLE DON'T COME FROM EUROPE, NEITHER FROM THE CARIBBEAN AS SOME PEOPLE MAY BELIEVE, BUT FROM AFRICA WHERE WE LIVED IN HARMONY FROM WHEN JAH CREATED US ALL  (BEGINNING OF TIME) UNTIL WE WERE BRUTALLY KIDNAPPED, TORTURED  (LARGE AMOUNTS OF WHICH DIED), THEN SOLD INTO SLAVERY, THIS MAINLY SERVED TO BREAK LINKS TO OUR TRUE HERITAGE WHICH IS NORMALLY HANDED DOWN IN ORIGINAL TONGUES FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION ALONG WITH OUR TRUE IDENTITY CULTURES AND HISTORIC TRUTHS NECESSARY FOR SPIRITUAL AND ACTUAL HARMONY AND GROWTH.  

IBRACS.TRIPOD AIMS TO RE-ADDRESS THESE ISSUES OF SPIRITUALITY, CULTURAL AWARENESS AND EDUCATION FOR ALL SHOWING SIGNS OF GENUINE INTEREST, RE-LINKING THE COMMUNITY WITH THE TRACEABLE INDISPUTABLE LEGITIMACY OF THE ROYAL AFRICAN HERITAGE WHICH IS RASTAFARI, ANY INDIVIDUAL OR ORGANISATION WITH/WITHOUT EXPERIENCE OF PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY ISSUES ARE WELCOME. ONLY PEOPLE WITH CLEAN HEARTS NEED APPLY. THIS ORGANISATION WILL FACILITATE DISCUSSION OF REAL ISSUES BY REAL PEOPLE FOR REAL SOLUTIONS, LINKING THE COMMUNITY.

WHAT DO I KNOW ?       

I KNOW THE TIME HAS LONG SINCE COME FOR BLACK PEOPLE TO CHANGE THINGS PERMANENTLY FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS, BY OURSELVES, FOR OURSELVES. ALTHOUGH MANY WHITES REFUSE TO ALLOW PROGRESS IN THIS IDEAL, HOWEVER, WE ALSO OWE IT TO THOSE PAST GENERATIONS WHO FOUGHT AND DIED FIGHTING FOR THE PARTIAL FREEDOM EXPERIENCED BY US TODAY.  WHILE WE OUGHT TO REMAIN GRATEFUL FOR THE PROGRESS MADE BY THEIR VALIANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE TRUTH AND RIGHTS STRUGGLE, WE MUST NOT BE FOOLED IN TO COMPLACENCY OR WE WILL FIND OURSELVES TALKING AND SINGING ONCE AGAIN ABOUT THE DAYS WHEN WE WERE ALMOST FREE.  RACISM IS STILL AFFECTING MOST BLACKS EVEN NOW IN 2002, SURELY IF WE ARE NOT FULLY ACCEPTED WHEREVER WE ARE WE SHOULD FIND SOMEWHERE THAT WE CAN BE!  IN THE BIBLE IT CLEARLY INTENDS FOR US TO REPATRIATE TO THE PROMISED LAND. HOW IS IT SO EASY FOR SOME TO FORGET THE RAPES, TORTURES, MURDERS AND DESECRATION OF SACRED PEOPLES, ETC, ETC, ETC....

THE REAL RASTAFARIANS ARE THE ONES WHO NEVER FORGET THAT THEY ARE AFRICAN, AND SO OBVIOUSLY BELONG TO AFRICA.

I KNOW TOO, THAT IT IS AN ABOMINATION TO DIG UP THE SACRED TOMBS OF OUR ANCESTORS, NEVER MIND TO HAVE THEIR BODIES ENCASED IN GLASS AND PUT ON SICK DISPLAYS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD IN VARIOUS MUSEUMS TO THIS DAY.  WELL APART FROM THE BLATANT THEFT OF ALL GOLD AND JEWELS, STILL THE WESTERN WORLD SAY THAT 'AFRICA IS A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY AND OWE BILLIONS IN DEBT', AND TALK ABOUT HOW THEY ARE CIVILIZED AND WE NEED THEM, THEY HAVE DRAWN A FEW LINES IN AFRICA AND CAL IT DIFFERENT PLACES, EVEN THOUGH, EUROPE IS STILL MINUTE! AFRICA IS STILL ONE MASSIVE COUNTRY, WHICH ALONE REPRESENTS THE LARGEST LAND IN THE WORLD! AFRICA IS EQUAL TO ROUGHLY ONE THIRD OF THE TOTAL LAND OF THE ENTIRE PLANET, YET SOME EVEN BELIEVE THAT THE TINY LITTLE PLACE ENGLAND IS COMPARABLE IN SIZE, ACTUALLY YOU COULD EASILY FIT OVER 100 MICROSCOPIC ENGLAND'S INTO AFRICA.
