Guest Kritik Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I have a good friend who has dreads, listens to Reggae and has all these rasta books. And he's white. Correct me if I'm wrong arent Rastafarian beliefs based around rejection of the white man. Why would a white person be all down for Rasta if it's supposed to be anti-white? Can any one enlighten me on the subject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimodub Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 'Dreadlocks were worn in parts of Africa and Asia for spiritual reasons long before the Rastafarian's in the Carribbean starting wearing them. The Phaoroahs are believed to have worn locks, but we have no conclusive evidence to prove it. We do have evidence that King Tut had dreadlocks, and they are still intact to this day. But the first writing we have about dreadlocks is in the Veda scriptures of India, the earliest piece is dated to 1800 BC. We do have some evidence that the Celts wore dreadlocks. One of the examples is from Caesar, he described the Celts as having "hair like snakes". Next come news of past Germanic tribes wearing locks, the Greeks, people of the land called Nazareth such as Samson, Pacific peoples, Naga Indians (known also as Serpent People). Today in India, dreadlocks are spotted among Sadhus (holy men). Dreadlocks are also worn by and in Ethiopia, Bahatowie priests of the Amhara nation believed to be of the Coptic faith, Senegal, Baye Fal, believed to be a sect of Islam, Mouridism, also a sect of Islam, Sudan, several small sects of Islam Kenya, Akorino of the Kikuyu nation, Oromo Beja or a sect called "the church of the living god", Ghana, the Bono of Techiman, the Fitish priests, the Somali, the Galla, the Maasai, the Mau Mau, the Tanzania, the Aborigines, and the New Guineans.' "We do have some evidence that the Celts wore dreadlocks." that's me sorted for a tenuous justification then :king: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kritik Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Re: Re: Question..Raise your hand if you got dreads? Originally posted by BabyPuncher how does a hairstyle represent an entire group of people and their beliefs? Look asshole I'm saying HE associates the dreads with rastafarian lifestyle. I wasnt asking about his stupid dreadlox I could give a shits fuck about his hair. It's one thing to have dreadlocks entirely another to have dreadlocks and 'claim' rasta if you will. Everyone who felt the need to be fucking retarded in this thread needs to put their thumbs back in their mouths and turn MTV back on because you're juvenile ignorance is the paper I'm wiping my ass with when I take my next dookie. next...Toyeattoywar I've only read a little about Rastafarians so -maybe that's part of my confusion in relation to this 'fad'.

Abracadabra Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 if you have curly or naturally unruly hair and are able to naturally grow dreds, then rock on. but these white-boy-stringy-lookin-not-really-dreds-but-really-messy-lookin-hair type dreds are just plain ugly.

Guest willy.wonka Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 rastafarian extremists made the rasta reigion reject the white man..but can you blame them..i mean all that the white man is know for is killing and governments.. not like they bring peace and tranquility to the world... but on the other hand..King Haile Selassie aka rastafari http://web.syr.edu/~affellem/dad.gif'> was thought to be the resurection of Jesus..he is of Jesus's blood line. he had a lot of good views and had respect from every nation. the song "war" from bob marley was actually a speech from rastafari. rastafari is cool in my book...
