I was watching the movie Cool Runnings and i kept hearing and seeing the word Rasta everywhere. I was wondering what it meant.
Answers:
1Rasta, for Rastafarian.
Spiritual movement born in Jamaica during the first half of the 20st century.
Key feature of this spirituality:
Belief that Africa is the garden of eden, and that it is the place where black men will be free.
Worship of Haile Selassie (who was emperor of Ethiopia).
Faith based on the Old Testament.
Pot smoking as a form of bonding ceremony.
Disdain and distrust of white man, called the oppressor, the downpressor, or more commonly Babylon.
Belief in reincarnation.
Most of the Rastas I have met consider Bob Marley as a prophet.
The cult movie Countryman shows precisely what the Rasta lifestyle is.http://imdb.com/title/tt0083762/
From: Kamohelo
rasta is being goood at heart, is being humble and fight for what you think is right
From:
rasta is not just a black faith it is the faith for all, it believes we all decend from africa. it is not about the disdain of the white man it is disdain for the system we all live in, the disdain of babylon the oppressor. white, black, yellow and brown we should all unite and follow the word of jah as we are all his children. love, unity, livity is the true way of the rasta.
