How Did Reggae Festivals Turn into an All White
Affair?
By Xavier James
White
sponsors, white organizers, white groups, and white folks at the gate
collecting the money. How did this happen? White Supremacists poured white
women on the Rasta men and now Rasta’s are WHITE! Am I lying? Of course not.
And what’s funny is that these white Rastas are the well to do children whose
parents were locking up, beating and marginalizing black folks for decades.
Confused? Let me help you.
This weekend, I
went to a Reggae Festival in Hampton Roads Virginia. I saw white men, most with
dreaded up hair, playing bongos, drums and on stage playing and singing Reggae.
It was a shameful farce. The so called den mother, was a white woman with
dreaded up hair. Damn, I thought the meaning of Rasta was black.
But all the vendors
were black or Rasta. The Rasta’s who did come out weren’t spending any money with
their own. Regular black folks came out in support and to have fun; they were
spending their money. And of course white folks (flower children throwbacks) who be “all dreaded up,” spent money.
Although it was obvious the white girls were there to pick up black guys. All the
economics were controlled by white folks.
Did the
Rastafarians sell out? Is this just happening in America ? What are the Rasta’s doing about it? It
now seems REGGAE MUSIC
AND CULTURE IS
BEING CONTROLLED BY WHITE FOLKS; at least in America . I wonder what’s happening in the Islands .
People of color
have to learn to say “NO.” By the time you learn to keep your culture, rituals and
traditions to yourself, they won’t be yours anymore. In 100 years all Rastas
will be WHITE; except for legend Bob Marley and then historians will say, “well,
you know his father was white.”
Once the white woman gets a hold of the
Rasta man……he’s done!
If you Rasta’s (gots) to have a white
woman, go ahead, but have the decency to tell her to stay the F**k out of your business;
keep her regular EUROPEAN hairstyle, dress and lifestyle-she don’t need dreads.
When you were chasing her down the street, she had her regular BECKY WHITE GIRL
HAIR, THEN YOU WANT TO TURN HER RASTA. White supremacists are going to take your
islands and put you all on reservations.
WAKE
THE F**K UP!
