Word of H.I.M Haile Selassie I, Yah Ras Tafari I “Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war. And until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the colour of a man's skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war.”
@@tonytopijahrastafariiovahe4797 exactly. They all want to rule... but they forget that there's only one man who lead I...H.I.M. muta is contradicting the teachings of the Emperor.
I am white and will always be eternally grateful to the Rastas that help me in the darkest point of my life. I was not in a good place in all aspects and they helped me pick myself up and showed me kindness,patience and built me back up. They set me on a good path and I have felt blessed with all the good things that have come my way since.
I am currently in this situation. I grew up non-religious and very admittedly so. But something always felt wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it. After years of soul searching with the sacred herb. I found that Rastafarian spirituality was very welcoming and lined up with me and my ideals. The unfortunate part of all this is my ethnicity. People make fun of me for "faking" just because I'm Caucasian. I hate feeling stupid for something, I believe. I grew up in a small town in Texas. No internet. I truly knew nothing of Jah. Yet I hate later in life when I can actually research information, and yet it's "too late" for me to learn, and therefore, I'm faking it. Sorry for the long post, but it's kinda annoying, ya know? I hate when the color of someone's skin immediately changes the perception of your intentions.
@@MrBongJoviI'm white been following Rastafari since I was a youth 13 years old well over 30 years don't smoke cannabis but give thanks and praise every day follow your heart that's my only advice and don't worry about what anyone else thinks in regards to your ethnicity beliefs be a shepherd not a sheep blessed ,❤
Muta is not focusing on ethnicity, he's talking on struggles of black race people,since we were robbed of our identity and everything and made to believe in Caucasian supremacy like our parents didn't lived the earth in uncountable times,,, being white it's true every where you go you always have privileges since the world was brainwashed in white,,so he advising you too to discuss the black man's struggles not just claiming faith in Rastafari,,, for a poor soul is nothing but vanity to the body,,, Rastafari taught this in one of speeches... Rastafari!
Say it louder for the unconscious. They think color has to do with soul. Is 1 COLLECTIVE consciousness but THEY are young souls spilling unconscious hate and don't realize that's what's bringing us down LITERALLY.
So to be perfectly honest, as a teenager I was more or less the white kid described by Muta. Very into reggae, very into at least understanding and appreciating the Rasta teachings. I had just left Christian church and Rasta felt like the right version of faith. Over time, with reflections, deepening knowledge, professional experience as a social worker etc., I became much more aware of what Muta says here. Rasta has a reason and origin. While the end result is universal love, equality and unity, there is a specific wrong and a specific pain to be adressed by Rasta. A specific potential to be freed in the african diaspora. It is first and foremost a movement and awareness for someone with a different position and heritage than mine. I also recognized that if Rasta meant something to me, I should be outspoken about my views and get in the way of any wrongdoings, be an ally and sponsor of people in my personal environment. I am much less visible as a lover of reggae and as someone who meditates with the Rasta interpretation of the world in mind. But I get more positieve and meaningful things done. I am not offended by Muta at all. Rasta is a special and very valuable phenomenon. It's at risk of being watered down by whomever doesn't understand, or doesn't care that much. Let Rasta be Rasta, open to all, but focused on Rasta goals.
Thank you for your understanding, it is truly commendable. Personally, I don’t care what shade or hue you are, if you see yourself as a pan African and can prove it, not only by your words but by your actions, then to me you are worthy of helping Africans in our one and only indispensable goal: and that is the liberation, restoration, and unification of Africa. And don’t think for a moment that this message is only for our white shaded brothers and sisters...
@@haroldwilson6015 Mi disagree, White, Asian and Black people are all Afrikan. Every human being is Afrikan. Furthermore, even if you don't or do recognise you are Afrikan you can still gain knowledge and then fight for the cause
@@yandengebaptista2126 Not every body came from Africa. The only 100percent humans are the nilotic people and unmixed Africans all others are mixed with nehandrathal. There were two species, the human out of Africa and the Nehandrathal from the caves in Europe who are the ancestors of whites.
Some may wonder what gives Muta the right to speak this way? The right to criticise the Rasta youth's choices. Well, being that he is one of the members that lived through harsh realities and struggles, one of the pioneers of African liberation, I say preach on Muta. The issue is that we are not learning from their past struggles and will likely repeat them.
He has no right to speak against people in such way. Bob Marley never spoke bad about other races, he wanted peace and unity amonst all. To sit there and bash people because of your previous experinces with racism shows that hes a hated, selfishness, who wants to spread his hate to others because he went throught does times. I'm sorry you had to go through does things but its a different time, different geneartion and people should not feel obligated to feel what this man does just because he went through it. Find the right spirtual path and make peace with your hate and show people that they can be different. Like bob Marley said one love.
@@Bxgent1988 the most respect due to you but are you blind? How are times different? if not worse. Don't you understand we are at the bottom of the "race chain" and its because tools like religion are used to pacify us?
@@ronaldlewis9121 Times are better like i said. If you dont know what it was like back then dont comment. You dont know, and even if you did thats to be left behind back there, not to be thrown at people who have nothing to do with that because of their race. The most racist person in the world with all respect is the black man, i'll tell you why. I once had a swimming coach who was black, nothing wrong with that. The man is like a father to me since i had no father growing up. After hearing the stories everyday in, and everyday out about the white man being racist and what he had to indure for many years. This was a every day thing mind you. Everyday i had a swimming practice he would talk about racism, and then as the years went by it hit me, the black man in America is the most racist person in the world and i see why. However, instead of not igonighing the fire and trying to live from today, no they want to talk about and live the 400 years of slavery. Everybody in the world is racist, whites, blacks, hispanics, asians. Blacks are racist to asians but people dont talk about that right. Live your life in peace and spread love thats my message, love people for who they are and not for what there ancestors have done. As far as Police on blacks brutality thats another day another story but you cant sit up here and not talk about black on black brutality also.
@@Bxgent1988 That I agree that everyone is racist towards one another,but we never had the gut to commit mass murder to take over a continent. I can comment because I have read a lot and the only drawback to your suggestion is the fact as A PEOPLE if we are not conscious of our past we are likely to repeat it. I worked as a waiter in a jewish community in NY for some years and let me tell you when I worked in their seminars they made sure that the community never forgot what happened to them, not to become complacent and always learn to defend themselves.
@@ronaldlewis9121 but thats the problem don't you think? Why do we have to remember what happen, how can you move on with your life knowing what happen and remembering what happen. Nobody can move on with their lifes like that, you have to live with a grudge over your shoulders for the rest of your life.
@@alkebulanman3280 Muta is wrong. Black people have the same misconceptions about Rastafarians as do white people. Even here in Africa... AND NEVER go against what HIM Haile Selassie I says.
Home where??? Africa?? Liberate you, I think you are liberated. If not it depends on you. You are free to go to Africa no one holds you back. A lot of Rastas was going to Ethiopia and then they was going back home again to Britain or Caribbean because they was going also back to Christianity. If you go to Africa you will find out very quickly it isn’t your home. Africa is different. No African is waiting on you with open arms especially not Ethiopians because Rasta has not a good reputation there. None at all. If you travel the Christian areas of Aksum or Lalibela or Gondor etc you will change your mind. They are the true Christian’s. Haile Selassie was a follower of Yashua and the Orthodox Church. I think it has a lot to do that some people smoking to much and then they puzzle their own false reality. Have a good journey.
Frantz Fanon said : Colonisation was a violent process, why should decolonization should be peaceful process ? Respect from a Haitian brother in Ivory Coast.
He's got a point. The most aggressive and rude "rasta" I've ever met was some white dude with dreads. And before anyone says he's being racist, he isn't. He's just pointing out how certain people within the movement aren't 100%. Like certain white liberals in the states and race relations
Well brother, check out the answers my post got, and you will see that some people interpret his words in a very racist way. "The proper of unity is to exclude" (Bossuet) anyway.
Of course there is a thin limit between talking about colors and being racist - it just takes one to be clever. Which means danger in a world that crucially lacks of education.
I know a White rasta who doesn’t think slavery happened in America and that BLM movement in America is entirely without reason or cause. Yet he has the flag and reggae fests and fact that he worships a ‘black’ God is proof he isn’t racist.
I believe that many persons have mistake the meaning of the video and of what Muta say. Muta says that some reggae fans improvise rasta but that instead of singing reggae songs they should join the battle more. I have know muta in real life and he is friends with many Rastas of European and Asian origin, some are also related to him, also in his room he has a remarkable painting that was given to him by a "white" Rasta artist, not to mention his great friendship with Dreadloop . Also if you listen to his interviews and if you read the book "The globalization of Rastafari" you can see how he himself says that he admires how different people in the world that he has met are following Rastafari perfectly. Also in the 1980s Mutabaruka was in the Rastafari delegation that preached the Rastafari movement all over the world especially in Europe. Muta in this video say that all the peoples they have to seriously embrace social struggles, and it shows that it only refers to a few young reggae fans. Rastafari is also especially a spiritual thing, and what is Spiritual is universal, and Muta also says it perfectly in this video. The Black power is a philosophical and social concept which means that everything comes from black, the first man was "black", before the sun was created there was black, when the new day comes before the sun rises there is black etc. .. and it is also a concept that promotes pure social equality and the balance of all peoples. Muta explains it in many arguments about him and see this video in which Miguel Lorne (friend of Muta) explains everything well: ua-cam.com/video/i3Al6JZwunI/v-deo.html The Balck power concept is also called with the name of Black supremacy. Leonard Howell himself writes in the he book "The Promise Kay" in the chapter 'The Government': "Black Supremacy will promote mortals of all shadows based on our powers. The Black Museum will be open day and night for life. Education will be free and compulsory for all mortal beings, if you are not an enemy of the black supremacy ". This is what the Howell followers say: "According to Sam Davis (a Howelite and member of the original Pinnacle community), [Leonard] Howell taught that there were two supremacies in the world, black and white. The two supremacies represented Good (or God and the angels) and Evil (or Satan). But in reversal of the European orthodoxy, good is represented by black, and evil by white. 'The world is divided, you see,' Mr Davis said to me. 'It's war, Satan and God playing a wicked war.' The justification for seeing the black supremacy as representing good is arrived at by a a combination of factors. First, the Book of Genesis describes God as making man in his own image. And secondly, as Noel Dyer had pointed out to me when I was in Shashamene, most people now agree that mankind developed, initially, in Africa. Thus it is logical to suppose that the first men had black skin. Black supremacy, according to Howell, was the return to the original state of the cosmos, and he preached that mankind could not regain happiness until all nations had, as Mr Davis put it, 'come back and agree in one consent with black supremacy before happiness can achieve to universal creation'.... Mr Davis was quick to elaborate on the notion of black supremacy in case I should be under the impression that it was purely racist, anti-white ideology. He beckons me to move closer so that he can lower his voice. 'I'm going to tell you the direct thing. Not because the man is white, not the woman white, is they cast out. No, sir. I don't have it that way. In the kingdom, black will be there, and white will be there, because in the kingdom you have the elect of every nation, who become one supremacy. This is it, one aim, one God, and one destination. ' " Page 114 Blackheart Man: A Journey Into Rasta By Derek Bishton
If i may ask you, do you think that someone who rejects them own identity and try to put him/herself FULLY in the identity of another people without having direct personal nor transgenerational ties or shared experiences with that group (only the love for the music) is a prototype of individual who can fight the battle? Most of this people take it all and gives nothing except bad reggae music. Yes, they talk with them parents about African liberation, but there's a full blown dissociation with their reality due to the intent of fully adopting a movement designed exclusively for the liberation of African diaspora. Isn't that a quite toxic approach to the Rasta movement?
@@zenheadshot3742At the end of the day, it’s about the intent of the heart. If you feel you must fight, even before coming to Reggae and the realizations of Rastafari, then you already a fighter.
@@rastafarieldersteachings5674 If i were you probably i wouldn't answer my questions too, fortunately we are diverse, diversity against globalization ( of Rastafari). But understand that if you twist some arguments that Mutabaruka himself expressed clearly, sometimes constructive questions will arise, and weak argumentation mixed with silence is a loud message.

It's call globalization, you need to keep up to date with the people around you or you will be left behind. If you have to trade with the white man, hire a Chinese engineer or get an Indian accountant to get your project started then you will have to do those .

Yes, he said it all. The essence of Rastafarianism cannot be lost in pop culture. I personally don't like seeing white people with locs, worse if dem nuh even know the purpose and reasoning behind keeping the hair natural. Glad this was recorded and posted.
-tells white people stop taking our culture At the same time -types in our English language - speaks in our English language - uses UA-cam and phones created by white people
For me it was like a gate for more awareness. The Western civilization forgot all of their true culture and nature. Rasta is for me was like a realisation that it's possible to go back to the roots in this "new world". I am glad I found artists like chronixx, jah9 Mortimer .... But I know your struggle is different than mine. It's all about perception.
too much hate. The message of one love, one heart is bigger than what you understand. Liberation struggle can still go on, but it will be bigger if ALL colors support it.
Well all colours don’t support that’s why Rastafari started as a Aftikan liberation movement. Started by blak ppl for blak ppl in an Afrikan context. Nothing to do with other races but you’ve conveniently forgotten that.
That's what he just said. He's not saying white ppl being in the movement is bad. He's talking to the ones that usurp the movement and try to make it into a religion and tell those that's true in the movement they have no idea what it is. He's talking to the ones (whites and blks who taint the core focus of the movement) who think it's just a religion the involves dreading the hair and smoking weed. It's a way of life. He's just saying stick to the teaching and the core principles (liberation movement, combating injustices in blk and African communities, walking in love and clean living) and dont taint it (like they did with egypts history). That's all.

@@SDGirl05but all colours don’t support it so I’m dealing with the reality of the situation and not fantasy beliefs.

I'm white as a ghost, I can attest to seeing exactly what Muta is talking about here. One love platitudes rule the minds of the majority of white people who claim to be rasta the only tenent they follow is "one love" which is a nice watered down approach pushed by island records. These same white rastas will go out for a burger and get wasted on alcohol when they think nobody is looking its purely an extension of the hippie thing for them, pretty much the same as the overall white liberal mindset. I took a class in oakland CA 2007 with Mutabaruka he talked at great lengths on these kind of things it was the single best school experience of my life. i have mad respect for Muta what he says about the worldview of africa is real shit. "The Lion nah sleep in the Jungle" .
Rasmix1 nuff respect !!! At last some complete truth & honesty from across the table ( absolute no hostility meant) Mutabaruka’s not hating but just highlighting an observation of fact like yourself. Rasta being watered down to market as mass appeal worldwide . Your experience stated is evidence enough .
Mutabaruka is a wise blackman with a lot of knowledge. InI know One Race is the goal accepted fi arise in Iqual Rights . He say focus, and I man think focus is not see your enemy by the color of skin, is ovahstand that and see the enemy is those sustain the colonialism and segregation. The real victory of One people o people’s (Africans and Aboriginal all ovah di world) come when we mek a nuff critic mass fi mash it down the system, and ovahstand is non resentment gonna give us the InIty, is the inner peace and love fi sustain the ancient communication fi di Iqual Rights and Justice!
Blackman, I would say. I man edit my post. InI know when the colonialism end in Africa, we gonna see the liberation of the whole world. Africa must be free.

Wow! Muta dropping truth bombs. Love it! I have met many white dreadlocks that didn't even know who Haile Selassie is. 40 years ago I wore dreadlocks now Rastafari lives Within Me but I don't see everyone going down that path. Granted I was thrown into the mix as a musician opening up for the greats like Judy mowatt Jimmy cliff and Third World and many more. My first introduction to reggae in the 80s was Mutabaruka decides Bob Marley and Black Uhuru. As I threw out the teachings of Babylon I replaced them with the half the story that's never been told . What I'm saying is Jah Rastafari recruited me and gave me a job and it was the best thing that ever happened to me in my life. All praises to the most high God!
In the 70s a lot of punk rockers like Joe Strummer loved reggae music and restaurants but he never claimed to BE a rasta however he linked the struggle of working youth with the struggle of the rasta
I see where Muta is coming from. I also feel there is a role for other races in stance for justice and equality. I also respect those who may not be of african decent though sight the fullness of creation. Ethiopia as the beginning and teachings of His Majesty. Of course they can never identify with the black struggle and impacts of colonialism.
With due respect no white person can truly identify with the Africans struggle, never. And Mutaburaka has a right to speak unapologetically about this topic. As they say in Jamaica "Who feels it knows it".
DJ Khaled is a vulture just cashing in on the real dancehall artists and yelling on their tracks for publishing. Ironically He is Palestinian, another people who are currently suffering under colonial occupation and white supremacy
@@josephnuttn3600 I never mentioned religion in my comment. Wtf are you talking about? And Im not sure if you know this, But Islam is part of African culture. Almost half the continent is Muslim as has been for centuries
@@RafaSarriaBustamante Thanks mate, you said something right. In fact Islam is associated with Africa since the beginning.

"Ras Tafari is a liberation movement.. not a religion"... Mutabaruka always hits the nail head. The condition of the movement today is for the most part self-caused... forward thinking back then would've halted the sing-along "one love one heart" bandwagon and kept focussed. Now today when you have Rastas like Muta speaking about the roots of the movement and getting back on track, they'll be criticised by white rastas and ironically Black /African rastas claiming he doesn't understand Rasta.
My Rasta brethren... We stand in solidarity with you and your beautiful culture, even if we may never overstand your struggle. As a White man from Florida, USA I was exposed to your culture at a young age and I was instantly amazed at how your culture is rooted in the Diaspora and needs to be addressed by people of all races. White folks who dress and act Rasta will never get that to imitation does not equate to understanding. I perform with a reggae band and look so out of place, but sound like my fellow bandmates so I am accepted in this environment. I also respect my place as an ambassador and crusader for the Rasta people, but could never don the traditional robes and garb of the culture. I am just glad to hear Muta speak and validate what I've felt for so long. Bless up, beautiful Black People. We stand with you.
There is no truth outside of Jah. There is no truth in arguments based not on the unity of people in the name of Jah and in Jah, but on divisions by skin color and other divisions. Jah is Love, Love is Truth. Love does not divide. God's peace and good health to you.
Thank you for this! This helped me realize that as a (white) Rasta I do need to be doing more about racism then I currently am. This really was the wake up call I needed! This was a much needed message. Praise Jah!
Teach dem Elder ... Teach dem! All dem unconscious so-called Rasta weh a dis di Divine Ancestors wid dis twisted version of Rastafari. I'nI would NEVER or even think possible fi a Black (Rasta) Man refer to a white ooman as him "Empress" given the socio-historical experiences of Black People and the destruction caused by that same white ooman. As Descendants of Enslaved Africans, We all MUST remain Conscious of the history of lynchings, hangings and destruction of our families and communities as a result of that white ooman. Hail di Man Muta! Rastafari.
Teach my brother Muta. The so called Rastas will preach, but they know nothing about the truth and the truth is that African is our only root and it is our Home. It is not how much we are dread. It is what is inside of our head. You are what you think. Blessed love.
black power black man .. woman and child .. black unity first .. but yet enough of Kingman them lay with Europeans then shout Fari .. Nah man .. 12tribes, laid that foundation
I believe that this is circumstantial. As a cherokee white from the bloody streets of chicago, i think especially groups like the 12 tribes of israel understand that the movement has become more than a racial struggle, but also a class struggle too. And if only black people can be rastafari, that is saying that Jah is not real for everyone. But we are all one people. That is the true purpose of life
The Honorable Mutabaruka is an ancient ancestor that is hear with us today & as people we need to listen & Overstand in the message we as a people were kidnapped, Rob, Strip, & badly rape of our land, language, arts, science, & Culture. So as a people who is going through an economic psycological Struggle internationally we need to respect ourselves & our Ancestor Mutabaruka is right, you need to Educated yourselfs & be aware, we learn everyday 💯👑♥️💛💚✔️
Music is a language of emotion , everyone has struggled in life at some point , reggae music is very soothing and beautiful , like a kind of therapy , words and meaning can easily be overlooked when you are only hearing the music .
I hear you Sir i really do. But no other race suffers like Black people. You have to be Black to know what real pain is. That's why a white Rasta is a Joke ting.
Muta always speaks with 100% conviction. He needs to come sit at the feet of the elders on the continent. Then he can season his thoughts with grace and humility.
What does liberation in this day and age mean or look like when the world is entirely composed of captured land, at this point more or less all westernized.. so why can’t a white Person looking to escape the grip of Babylon or want similar forms of liberation since we are in the same damn boat ! People please Stop trying to separate yourself or make yourself better then anyone we are all chosen! It’s up to you. Don’t let your mind be tricked by people with low vibrations, remain in a place of knowing that all is interconnected more then most can see or want to admit . You can clearly see this man has some good qualities I’m sure but what I’m seeing is someone fueled by anger and hate now that can get us heard or believed but in the long race love and positivity go infinitely longer . Think for yourselves. Salute’ to life !
With all due respect Mutabaruka, you are referring to "poser" Rastas. Also called "fashion" rastas. Any yes, there are alot of white poser rastas for sure, but there are also alot of black poser rastas too. Racism is a serious problem in all races. Ultimately we all need to realize that we are not simply these bodies, ie-not black or white, but spirit souls all equal in the eye of God. Racism will never go away until we all realize that the concept of race is idiotic in the first place and an affront to God. When I was 15, I ran away from home because of abuse. I was sleeping on the streets when a RASTA family found me, took me in, gave me shelter and food, taught me about the Rastafari Movement, and ultimately saved my life. I'm ever indebted to them and the Spiritual lessons I learned from them were priceless. And yes, i've been fighting against racism on all fronts my entire life. With respect, Jai!
the movement should be so advanced by now as a major player ... black liberation institution based on the very ethics of Fari a force not to be messed with the interaction of others never did any black nation any favours ... history tells/shown us this
Rastafarians and rasta cannot allowed other people whether black, white and yellow to continue take liberty, while we àre freedom lovers seeking YHWH(Jah Jah). Let us march the march of the emperor and empress. One love.

“Until”, “ Remain a fleeting illusion to be perused and never attained”. “We Afrikans will fight if necessary”. You’ve taken the speech out of context. It’s a speech atttacking the wht world for its abuses of blak ppl. I see you don’t really overstand Rastafari or HIM.
This was a speech to the UN when they failed to support Ethiopia when Italy was attacking them. You didn't get the message sorry , but you're white or gay so you misinterpret.😅
I'm white (not that I think it matters) and I derive valuable spiritual lessons from the rasta mindset. Whether I'm welcomed to enjoy it or not I highly respect it. Yes I am all for black liberation. I don't personally use labels but I feel it. Maintaining good vibes in constant daily struggle I feel is a huge essence I feel. Sort of like spiritual alchemy, zen, buddhism, daoism, esoteric chrisianity. I wish for black liberation and unification of all people. We're all born in different locations and need something to believe in. It creates constant quarrels which people's version of the truth is more correct. I don't use labels for that reason. I like descriptions like Most High, Hashem (The Name), Spirit, Creator, etc. One thing is for sure we are very good at creating conflict. What I like about rasta is the focus on self redemption, training oneself to rise above and becoming a beacon of joy in hard times. I love listening to a rasta bestow knowledge through talks and music.
Gladly not every non-black youth is like you are describing them! ( : Also thanks as always for your reasonings! One Love! Always forward, never ever backward!! ☀☀☀ 💚💛❤ 🙏🏿🙏🙏🏼
Mutabaruka puts the finger on the sore spot. Rastafari was and should be a Black power liberation movement, but it has become sort of a pseudo-Christian religion. Also, many reggae artists have used Rastafari for popularity, yes I understand everybody has to ear, but now Rastafari is a fashion statement and African people are again looking to the White ideology of Christianity in order to be absolved and accepted by the White man's God. Where do we want to stand in the struggle?
@@HC-ir9rr how you so sure you’re getting in heaven then? Your what he’s going on about, somethings people got to keep for themselves culturally, can’t give everything to every other set of people. Doesn’t mean he hates everyone else, try going anywhere in Europe/Asia & try to claim part of their culture as yours if you’re black, I’m sure they’ll halt you in your tracks so lets take off the rose coloured glasses eh.
I'm puerto rican but I've been discriminated by white people so much. I search rasta way. Stopped eating meat, started reading the scriptures. I know my struggle is different then black people. I support my black brothers and sisters. InI heart is rasta!
^ ^ Ok Mutabaruka you will not see me wearing red gold and green or dreadlocks but in the past I was certainly inspired by seeing bands like The Cimarons, Aswad. Steelpulse because that music was so ahead of its time,,,,like music from another dimension I give respect were respect is due Foxy Love fae Scotland VVxx
Real thing Muta, especially since most (not all) Europeans turn Reggae and Rastafari into a "it's all about peace and love, let's smoke a spliff, and be pro LGBT" kind of madness.
@@alkebulanman3280 I can say everything is wrong with the hair locs but does that make it inherently objectively true just because the majority might say it? I don't think so...and the same goes for the other things and much more too.
@@bysonharrison1395 Why are you really here? Are you a Rastafarian? This is a dialog about Rastafarian concerns. Rastafari and LGBTQ do not go together. There is a great chasm between these two worlds..
I am Mexican dedicated student of the rastafari movement and music. I agree to an extent that this a movement of black people liberation, but I also come from a colonial oppressed country, violently disturbed by a colonial invader. So i have a problem with this narrow vision for as much respect I have for Mutabaruka. I have taken Rasta culture as a guide for my own emancipation, I have kept it in my heart as a way of spiritual awareness and liberation. Center to the Rasta belief is the black descendants of Sheba in Ethiopia, heirs also of Solomon, Juda tribe. The idea of black chosen people coming from the same candle of enlightenment that Jesus and Mohamed come from, that being Abraham the patriarch, that being the Israelites, the black Israelites. For such vision Egypt represent the same as Babylon, oppression, slavery, idolatry. It seems like Mutabaruka takes Egypt only as pride of a black people thriving civilization, but what could be the spiritual value of that. As a Mexican it will be like me taking pride on the Mexicas (Aztecs) for building their own pyramids, but they were also an imperial civilization which dominated violently the other smaller and pacific groups. A Rasta shouldn’t take pride in the prophets of Abraham? one for each group and color, all meant to bring the one love?
@@alkebulanman3280 Muta say that Rastafari is in a first point a spiritual moviment, so is universal, and say that It is also a global liberation Moviment and in this global liberation moviment is present expecialy the "black" liberation, and some reggae fans beliving that rastafari is only reggae and dont take part in the liberation.

@@rastafarieldersteachings5674 Give thanx. Brother, I was a Rastafarian, I understand all about what he is saying. But today's Rastafari is a deviation from the original concept. Rastafari was based on the bible, where the scattered children of Africa, via slavery, are the true children of Israel. His Majesty, Haile Selassi, who was crowned, Moa anbessa ze imneggeda Yehudah Kedemawi Haile Selassi, Sihume Egziabher, Negusa Negest ze Ityopya, meaning: Conquering lion of the tribe of Judah, Haile Selassi the first, Elect of god, King of Kings of Ethiopia. Rastafari is a deviation. We, the scattered Africans, via the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, as well as those scattered centuries before, via the Arab Slave Trade, and even before, are the true Israelite. And, we are being awakened worldwide and reuniting in this present day. We are the fastest growing group of awakening "Black people" worldwide. We are in the Americas, the Caribbean...literally in every nation, as the bible said it would be. Our time is NOW!
@@alkebulanman3280 Rastafari yes come from the bible. Is a biblical moviment, and like the bible say His Imperial Majesty coming for the Redemption of the oppressed peoples and for every one and one international peace. Blessings
Rastafari Elders Teachings but then again since it’s indeed a biblical movement, the praise of Egypt is a bit of a contradiction. Jah (Jehova) praise is also in the center of the Rastafari belief, Egypt biblically represents the first enslaving, oppressing power to the children of god. Conceptually Egypt is an enemy of liberation of spiritual people. I understand how Muta acknowledges here as a proper black thriving civilization in the wake of racist comments of people like Elon Musk, doubting the origins of the architectural might of the pyramids on African people. Yet I feel this is a worldly pride in my humble opinion, contradictory to the yahwist aspects of the Rasta tradition.
@@johncousins4665 Can't be a racist even if mi tried! Things Rasta used to uplift the minds of our ppl without the denigration of others can't be racist. No such thing as race. Learn the etymology of history and archeology before conversing with I!
Muta muta rise above dem thing hold on to his majesty give thanks and praises jah know peace and love let not your heart be troubled like while fire things gone wild
I'm black. When I just sight rasta and the livety I tried to tell my parents and grandparents about it they weren't having it. They are from Jamaica. Looking back it was a waste of my time. I should of just journey with the almighty and leave everybody else because the only one you can save is Yourself. If black elders can't get it you can't expect the white elders to get it unless they were born for it. Young white rastas should not waste their time just keep living up to the best of their knowledge. The time they are going to waste explaining to a set of people who don't care about our culture they can just go hold a meds with almighty and get more insight about their journey in life to become a better being in this life time.
Blessed Love. For YEARS before my mom know who and RASPECT Haile Selassie is because I Rastafari did talk to her about Selassie. I have HIM picture on my wall for OVER 30+ years now, so of course she's going to ask I who the is, and I explained to her EVERYTHING about The King. Plus the fact that for 25+ years I/we lived around brown Chicano people in Tucson Arizona. And for over 30+ years around and with Native Indigenous americans
I agree 100%. So many Rasta musicians have children with many black women but, will marry nonblack women. If these "white rastas" truly cared about Black liberation, they would spread the knowledge and the world wouldn't be racist. Black people wouldn't have to endure "craziness in life.
Nuff respect Mutabaruka, greetings from Gambia. Rastas and Rastafarians through music are the only human right activists, justice and freedom Ambassadors they are. They are the only people speaking the Truth today. Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ from a Gambian brother living inner the White man world. But living a Rastafarians philosophy
While Bob used biblical references to Israel, he never actually supported the zionist colony (at least to my knowledge). Ziggy, on the other hand, with way more time and chances to overstand what today's so called state of Israel represents, fully support it, just as he clearly prefers the company of white people to that of Africans.
@@alkebulanman3280You have lost the plot if you have to research some mythical stories written by bronzed ages cultures. Maybe, maybe not but perception is reality and reality is perception.
The battle is Won by the Realization of One. Humanity is Ethiopian. African liberation is Human Liberation of Soul mind and body.. Enlightened Light of the World. His Majesties Teachings transcend borders and race and are for the upliftment of creation towards the Most High Jah... Members of a New Race. Wrong thinking created these problems and right reasoning and perfected principles are the corrective measures. All are worthy to sing His praises. All are One in HIM. Love is the Law. Proclaim Mercy and Righteousness. Come together in Unity and stay undivided. Heal the hard hearted and split minded ones with Our Father’s Light. Make all things New. Affirm Life. 1-Jah. Power of the Trinity
And there is nothing of bad in this. "Balck" is the father and "white", "yellow" etc... the sons. The father teach at the sons and when children learn they become equal to their father and teach others of their nationalities and also blacks who do not know what Rastafari is.

I'm a white 22 year old from England. I have alot of love for reggae, and I have a lot of sympathy towards the injustice of what the black race has suffered over all these years. I'll never claim to be something I'm not, I'm not a rasta but I do believe in a Babylon system. A system that is trying to shun down people for what they are, freedom is entitled to any man, women and child who walks upon this earth. I don't believe things are a certain races issue. It's a human race issue that we all need to acknowledge and help find the justice from all those years of slavery. Much love and respect 👊

Word of H.I.M
Haile Selassie I,
Yah Ras Tafari I
“Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war. And until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the colour of a man's skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war.”

I am white and will always be eternally grateful to the Rastas that help me in the darkest point of my life. I was not in a good place in all aspects and they helped me pick myself up and showed me kindness,patience and built me back up. They set me on a good path and I have felt blessed with all the good things that have come my way since.
Yes, is we original people that can really heal people cause everyting the white man touches he has corrupted and poisoned.
I am currently in this situation. I grew up non-religious and very admittedly so. But something always felt wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it. After years of soul searching with the sacred herb. I found that Rastafarian spirituality was very welcoming and lined up with me and my ideals. The unfortunate part of all this is my ethnicity. People make fun of me for "faking" just because I'm Caucasian.
I hate feeling stupid for something, I believe. I grew up in a small town in Texas. No internet. I truly knew nothing of Jah. Yet I hate later in life when I can actually research information, and yet it's "too late" for me to learn, and therefore, I'm faking it.
Sorry for the long post, but it's kinda annoying, ya know? I hate when the color of someone's skin immediately changes the perception of your intentions.

@@MrBongJovithey are many very real white rasta that recieve a great deal of respect.❤
Muta is not focusing on ethnicity, he's talking on struggles of black race people,since we were robbed of our identity and everything and made to believe in Caucasian supremacy like our parents didn't lived the earth in uncountable times,,, being white it's true every where you go you always have privileges since the world was brainwashed in white,,so he advising you too to discuss the black man's struggles not just claiming faith in Rastafari,,, for a poor soul is nothing but vanity to the body,,, Rastafari taught this in one of speeches...
Rastafari!
"Of course we are all human beings... but there is a liberation struggle that has to be WON before we start talk bout "we are all One"..." Yes Iyah!

No justice, no peace 🙏🏼

THANK YOUUUU 💯
Exactly…
So to be perfectly honest, as a teenager I was more or less the white kid described by Muta. Very into reggae, very into at least understanding and appreciating the Rasta teachings. I had just left Christian church and Rasta felt like the right version of faith. Over time, with reflections, deepening knowledge, professional experience as a social worker etc., I became much more aware of what Muta says here. Rasta has a reason and origin. While the end result is universal love, equality and unity, there is a specific wrong and a specific pain to be adressed by Rasta. A specific potential to be freed in the african diaspora. It is first and foremost a movement and awareness for someone with a different position and heritage than mine. I also recognized that if Rasta meant something to me, I should be outspoken about my views and get in the way of any wrongdoings, be an ally and sponsor of people in my personal environment. I am much less visible as a lover of reggae and as someone who meditates with the Rasta interpretation of the world in mind. But I get more positieve and meaningful things done.
I am not offended by Muta at all. Rasta is a special and very valuable phenomenon. It's at risk of being watered down by whomever doesn't understand, or doesn't care that much.
Let Rasta be Rasta, open to all, but focused on Rasta goals.
Thank you for your understanding, it is truly commendable. Personally, I don’t care what shade or hue you are, if you see yourself as a pan African and can prove it, not only by your words but by your actions, then to me you are worthy of helping Africans in our one and only indispensable goal: and that is the liberation, restoration, and unification of Africa. And don’t think for a moment that this message is only for our white shaded brothers and sisters...

Some may wonder what gives Muta the right to speak this way? The right to criticise the Rasta youth's choices. Well, being that he is one of the members that lived through harsh realities and struggles, one of the pioneers of African liberation, I say preach on Muta. The issue is that we are not learning from their past struggles and will likely repeat them.
He has no right to speak against people in such way. Bob Marley never spoke bad about other races, he wanted peace and unity amonst all. To sit there and bash people because of your previous experinces with racism shows that hes a hated, selfishness, who wants to spread his hate to others because he went throught does times. I'm sorry you had to go through does things but its a different time, different geneartion and people should not feel obligated to feel what this man does just because he went through it. Find the right spirtual path and make peace with your hate and show people that they can be different. Like bob Marley said one love.

The most racist person in the world with all respect is the black man, i'll tell you why. I once had a swimming coach who was black, nothing wrong with that. The man is like a father to me since i had no father growing up. After hearing the stories everyday in, and everyday out about the white man being racist and what he had to indure for many years. This was a every day thing mind you. Everyday i had a swimming practice he would talk about racism, and then as the years went by it hit me, the black man in America is the most racist person in the world and i see why. However, instead of not igonighing the fire and trying to live from today, no they want to talk about and live the 400 years of slavery. Everybody in the world is racist, whites, blacks, hispanics, asians. Blacks are racist to asians but people dont talk about that right. Live your life in peace and spread love thats my message, love people for who they are and not for what there ancestors have done.

Home where??? Africa?? Liberate you, I think you are liberated. If not it depends on you. You are free to go to Africa no one holds you back. A lot of Rastas was going to Ethiopia and then they was going back home again to Britain or Caribbean because they was going also back to Christianity. If you go to Africa you will find out very quickly it isn’t your home. Africa is different. No African is waiting on you with open arms especially not Ethiopians because Rasta has not a good reputation there. None at all. If you travel the Christian areas of Aksum or Lalibela or Gondor etc you will change your mind. They are the true Christian’s. Haile Selassie was a follower of Yashua and the Orthodox Church. I think it has a lot to do that some people smoking to much and then they puzzle their own false reality. Have a good journey.
Frantz Fanon said : Colonisation was a violent process, why should decolonization should be peaceful process ? Respect from a Haitian brother in Ivory Coast.
He's got a point. The most aggressive and rude "rasta" I've ever met was some white dude with dreads.
And before anyone says he's being racist, he isn't. He's just pointing out how certain people within the movement aren't 100%. Like certain white liberals in the states and race relations
Very true
Well brother, check out the answers my post got, and you will see that some people interpret his words in a very racist way. "The proper of unity is to exclude" (Bossuet) anyway.
Of course there is a thin limit between talking about colors and being racist - it just takes one to be clever. Which means danger in a world that crucially lacks of education.
I know a White rasta who doesn’t think slavery happened in America and that BLM movement in America is entirely without reason or cause. Yet he has the flag and reggae fests and fact that he worships a ‘black’ God is proof he isn’t racist.
I wonder if it was the same "rasta" I once met. Terrible person.
I believe that many persons have mistake the meaning of the video and of what Muta say.
Muta says that some reggae fans improvise rasta but that instead of singing reggae songs they should join the battle more. I have know muta in real life and he is friends with many Rastas of European and Asian origin, some are also related to him, also in his room he has a remarkable painting that was given to him by a "white" Rasta artist, not to mention his great friendship with Dreadloop . Also if you listen to his interviews and if you read the book "The globalization of Rastafari" you can see how he himself says that he admires how different people in the world that he has met are following Rastafari perfectly. Also in the 1980s Mutabaruka was in the Rastafari delegation that preached the Rastafari movement all over the world especially in Europe.
Muta in this video say that all the peoples they have to seriously embrace social struggles, and it shows that it only refers to a few young reggae fans.
Rastafari is also especially a spiritual thing, and what is Spiritual is universal, and Muta also says it perfectly in this video.
The Black power is a philosophical and social concept which means that everything comes from black, the first man was "black", before the sun was created there was black, when the new day comes before the sun rises there is black etc. .. and it is also a concept that promotes pure social equality and the balance of all peoples.
Muta explains it in many arguments about him and see this video in which Miguel Lorne (friend of Muta) explains everything well:

The Balck power concept is also called with the name of Black supremacy. Leonard Howell himself writes in the he book "The Promise Kay" in the chapter 'The Government':
"Black Supremacy will promote mortals of all shadows based on our powers. The Black Museum will be open day and night for life. Education will be free and compulsory for all mortal beings, if you are not an enemy of the black
supremacy ".
This is what the Howell followers say:
"According to Sam Davis (a Howelite and member of the original Pinnacle community), [Leonard] Howell taught that there were two supremacies in the world, black and white. The two supremacies represented Good (or God and the angels) and Evil (or Satan). But in reversal of the European orthodoxy, good is represented by black, and evil by white. 'The world is divided, you see,' Mr Davis said to me. 'It's war, Satan and God playing a wicked war.' The justification for seeing the black supremacy as representing good is arrived at by a a combination of factors. First, the Book of Genesis describes God as making man in his own image. And secondly, as Noel Dyer had pointed out to me when I was in Shashamene, most people now agree that mankind developed, initially, in Africa. Thus it is logical to suppose that the first men had black skin. Black supremacy, according to Howell, was the return to the original state of the cosmos, and he preached that mankind could not regain happiness until all nations had, as Mr Davis put it, 'come back and agree in one consent with black supremacy before happiness can achieve to universal creation'....
Mr Davis was quick to elaborate on the notion of black supremacy in case I should be under the impression that it was purely racist, anti-white ideology. He beckons me to move closer so that he can lower his voice. 'I'm going to tell you the direct thing. Not because the man is white, not the woman white, is they cast out. No, sir. I don't have it that way. In the kingdom, black will be there, and white will be there, because in the kingdom you have the elect of every nation, who become one supremacy. This is it, one aim, one God, and one destination. ' "

Blackheart Man: A Journey Into Rasta

Give thanks 👊🏿

If i may ask you, do you think that someone who rejects them own identity and try to put him/herself FULLY in the identity of another people without having direct personal nor transgenerational ties or shared experiences with that group (only the love for the music) is a prototype of individual who can fight the battle? Most of this people take it all and gives nothing except bad reggae music. Yes, they talk with them parents about African liberation, but there's a full blown dissociation with their reality due to the intent of fully adopting a movement designed exclusively for the liberation of African diaspora. Isn't that a quite toxic approach to the Rasta movement?
@@zenheadshot3742At the end of the day, it’s about the intent of the heart. If you feel you must fight, even before coming to Reggae and the realizations of Rastafari, then you already a fighter.
@@rastafarieldersteachings5674 If i were you probably i wouldn't answer my questions too, fortunately we are diverse, diversity against globalization ( of Rastafari). But understand that if you twist some arguments that Mutabaruka himself expressed clearly, sometimes constructive questions will arise, and weak argumentation mixed with silence is a loud message.

Bwoy the influence of the white man is omnipresent, even for black people in Africa. Maintaining focus without selling out is our biggest challenge.

Yes, he said it all. The essence of Rastafarianism cannot be lost in pop culture. I personally don't like seeing white people with locs, worse if dem nuh even know the purpose and reasoning behind keeping the hair natural. Glad this was recorded and posted.
Yeah. I don't like Indian sadhu's. They have the same locs.
I don’t like seeing black people with straight hair and English

At the same time
-types in our English language

@joederbo6151why don’t you speak African
@joederbo6151 so your people couldn’t invent language
For me it was like a gate for more awareness. The Western civilization forgot all of their true culture and nature. Rasta is for me was like a realisation that it's possible to go back to the roots in this "new world". I am glad I found artists like chronixx, jah9 Mortimer ....
But I know your struggle is different than mine. It's all about perception.
Right it’s a liberation movement not only about liberating from racism, but a liberation of our minds! He who feels it knows it lord 🙏🔥

too much hate. The message of one love, one heart is bigger than what you understand. Liberation struggle can still go on, but it will be bigger if ALL colors support it.
Well all colours don’t support that’s why Rastafari started as a Aftikan liberation movement. Started by blak ppl for blak ppl in an Afrikan context. Nothing to do with other races but you’ve conveniently forgotten that.
That's what he just said. He's not saying white ppl being in the movement is bad. He's talking to the ones that usurp the movement and try to make it into a religion and tell those that's true in the movement they have no idea what it is. He's talking to the ones (whites and blks who taint the core focus of the movement) who think it's just a religion the involves dreading the hair and smoking weed. It's a way of life. He's just saying stick to the teaching and the core principles (liberation movement, combating injustices in blk and African communities, walking in love and clean living) and dont taint it (like they did with egypts history). That's all.
@@solarscience5815when have a color spoken to you? You see? The message of roots, culture, nature, spirit as livity is relevant to all beings of all tribes. We are all indigenous when we live naturally.
@@SDGirl05but all colours don’t support it so I’m dealing with the reality of the situation and not fantasy beliefs. If all colours did come into this movement then they’d have to recognise the Pan Afrikan/ Blak power ideals in Rastafari. All colours are not dealing with those ideals which are close to Rastafari.
@@ANSAMMANisINFINITEColour spoke to me when I walk down the road and the women pulls her hand bag closer. Colour speaks to me when I go in a shop and I get followed. Colour speaks to me when the police harass me unjustly. You lot talk all these great ideals but not the reality of Afrikan ppl’s experiences.
I'm white as a ghost, I can attest to seeing exactly what Muta is talking about here. One love platitudes rule the minds of the majority of white people who claim to be rasta the only tenent they follow is "one love" which is a nice watered down approach pushed by island records. These same white rastas will go out for a burger and get wasted on alcohol when they think nobody is looking its purely an extension of the hippie thing for them, pretty much the same as the overall white liberal mindset. I took a class in oakland CA 2007 with Mutabaruka he talked at great lengths on these kind of things it was the single best school experience of my life. i have mad respect for Muta what he says about the worldview of africa is real shit. "The Lion nah sleep in the Jungle" .
Rasmix1 nuff respect !!! At last some complete truth & honesty from across the table ( absolute no hostility meant) Mutabaruka’s not hating but just highlighting an observation of fact like yourself.

Word of H.I.M
Haile Selassie I,
Yah Ras Tafari I
“Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war. And until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the colour of a man's skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war.”
This is real topics though some are afraid of getting down to the nuts and bolts.
Wow! Muta dropping truth bombs. Love it! I have met many white dreadlocks that didn't even know who Haile Selassie is. 40 years ago I wore dreadlocks now Rastafari lives Within Me but I don't see everyone going down that path. Granted I was thrown into the mix as a musician opening up for the greats like Judy mowatt Jimmy cliff and Third World and many more. My first introduction to reggae in the 80s was Mutabaruka decides Bob Marley and Black Uhuru. As I threw out the teachings of Babylon I replaced them with the half the story that's never been told . What I'm saying is Jah Rastafari recruited me and gave me a job and it was the best thing that ever happened to me in my life. All praises to the most high God!
I’m white and I understand exactly what Rastafari stands for. I have the utmost raspect. I’ll fight for any man, woman , and child in the struggle.
do you understand the black struggle, have you ever been called the n- word, have you got African roots
In the 70s a lot of punk rockers like Joe Strummer loved reggae music and restaurants but he never claimed to BE a rasta however he linked the struggle of working youth with the struggle of the rasta
I see where Muta is coming from. I also feel there is a role for other races in stance for justice and equality. I also respect those who may not be of african decent though sight the fullness of creation. Ethiopia as the beginning and teachings of His Majesty. Of course they can never identify with the black struggle and impacts of colonialism.
With due respect no white person can truly identify with the Africans struggle, never. And Mutaburaka has a right to speak unapologetically about this topic. As they say in Jamaica "Who feels it knows it".

@@RafaSarriaBustamante Thanks mate, you said something right. In fact Islam is associated with Africa since the beginning. Bilal the Abyssynian was one of the closest companion of the prophet and first Muezzin in Islam. Don't forget the first Muslim refugee went to Ethiopia where the Negus granted them asylium
"Ras Tafari is a liberation movement.. not a religion"... Mutabaruka always hits the nail head. The condition of the movement today is for the most part self-caused... forward thinking back then would've halted the sing-along "one love one heart" bandwagon and kept focussed. Now today when you have Rastas like Muta speaking about the roots of the movement and getting back on track, they'll be criticised by white rastas and ironically Black /African rastas claiming he doesn't understand Rasta.
I see some of you are changing your tune, therefore you shouldn't be praising Haile Selassie, it makes you look delusional
And what would have the movement achieved today? What's the liberation plan?
My Rasta brethren... We stand in solidarity with you and your beautiful culture, even if we may never overstand your struggle.
As a White man from Florida, USA I was exposed to your culture at a young age and I was instantly amazed at how your culture is rooted in the Diaspora and needs to be addressed by people of all races.
White folks who dress and act Rasta will never get that to imitation does not equate to understanding. I perform with a reggae band and look so out of place, but sound like my fellow bandmates so I am accepted in this environment.
I also respect my place as an ambassador and crusader for the Rasta people, but could never don the traditional robes and garb of the culture.
I am just glad to hear Muta speak and validate what I've felt for so long.

Love is a verb. Verbs are action words. So no need to go around shouting one love. "Just show love"
black power black man .. woman and child .. black unity first .. but yet enough of Kingman them lay with Europeans then shout Fari .. Nah man .. 12tribes, laid that foundation
bedroom colonialism, too much one love swirler mentality and the lack of Garveyism/Race first
Yes. Well said
I believe that this is circumstantial.
As a cherokee white from the bloody streets of chicago, i think especially groups like the 12 tribes of israel understand that the movement has become more than a racial struggle, but also a class struggle too. And if only black people can be rastafari, that is saying that Jah is not real for everyone. But we are all one people. That is the true purpose of life

The Honorable Mutabaruka is an ancient ancestor that is hear with us today & as people we need to listen & Overstand in the message we as a people were kidnapped, Rob, Strip, & badly rape of our land, language, arts, science, & Culture. So as a people who is going through an economic psycological Struggle internationally we need to respect ourselves & our Ancestor Mutabaruka is right, you need to Educated yourselfs & be aware, we learn everyday 💯👑♥️💛💚✔️
Music is a language of emotion , everyone has struggled in life at some point , reggae music is very soothing and beautiful , like a kind of therapy , words and meaning can easily be overlooked when you are only hearing the music .
I hear you Sir i really do. But no other race suffers like Black people. You have to be Black to know what real pain is. That's why a white Rasta is a Joke ting.
Muta always speaks with 100% conviction. He needs to come sit at the feet of the elders on the continent. Then he can season his thoughts with grace and humility.
Accept the respect people offer, accept the support people offer. One love. 💚💛❤️❤️💛💚

People please Stop trying to separate yourself or make yourself better then anyone we are all chosen! It’s up to you. Don’t let your mind be tricked by people with low vibrations, remain in a place of knowing that all is interconnected more then most can see or want to admit .

Thank you so much for talking about loosing focus because the Rasta in Jamaica have not only loose focus but they have lost themselves
With all due respect Mutabaruka, you are referring to "poser" Rastas. Also called "fashion" rastas. Any yes, there are alot of white poser rastas for sure, but there are also alot of black poser rastas too. Racism is a serious problem in all races. Ultimately we all need to realize that we are not simply these bodies, ie-not black or white, but spirit souls all equal in the eye of God. Racism will never go away until we all realize that the concept of race is idiotic in the first place and an affront to God. When I was 15, I ran away from home because of abuse. I was sleeping on the streets when a RASTA family found me, took me in, gave me shelter and food, taught me about the Rastafari Movement, and ultimately saved my life. I'm ever indebted to them and the Spiritual lessons I learned from them were priceless. And yes, i've been fighting against racism on all fronts my entire life. With respect, Jai!

Powerful facts! Respect!
I'm white (not that I think it matters) and I derive valuable spiritual lessons from the rasta mindset. Whether I'm welcomed to enjoy it or not I highly respect it. Yes I am all for black liberation. I don't personally use labels but I feel it. Maintaining good vibes in constant daily struggle I feel is a huge essence I feel. Sort of like spiritual alchemy, zen, buddhism, daoism, esoteric chrisianity.
I wish for black liberation and unification of all people. We're all born in different locations and need something to believe in. It creates constant quarrels which people's version of the truth is more correct. I don't use labels for that reason. I like descriptions like Most High, Hashem (The Name), Spirit, Creator, etc. One thing is for sure we are very good at creating conflict. What I like about rasta is the focus on self redemption, training oneself to rise above and becoming a beacon of joy in hard times.
I love listening to a rasta bestow knowledge through talks and music.
It does matter you're white. Cultural appropriation......😂😂😂
Gladly not every non-black youth is like you are describing them! ( :
Also thanks as always for your reasonings!
One Love!

Mutabaruka puts the finger on the sore spot. Rastafari was and should be a Black power liberation movement, but it has become sort of a pseudo-Christian religion. Also, many reggae artists have used Rastafari for popularity, yes I understand everybody has to ear, but now Rastafari is a fashion statement and African people are again looking to the White ideology of Christianity in order to be absolved and accepted by the White man's God. Where do we want to stand in the struggle?

Straight! Thank you!
I am Mexican dedicated student of the rastafari movement and music. I agree to an extent that this a movement of black people liberation, but I also come from a colonial oppressed country, violently disturbed by a colonial invader. So i have a problem with this narrow vision for as much respect I have for Mutabaruka. I have taken Rasta culture as a guide for my own emancipation, I have kept it in my heart as a way of spiritual awareness and liberation. Center to the Rasta belief is the black descendants of Sheba in Ethiopia, heirs also of Solomon, Juda tribe. The idea of black chosen people coming from the same candle of enlightenment that Jesus and Mohamed come from, that being Abraham the patriarch, that being the Israelites, the black Israelites. For such vision Egypt represent the same as Babylon, oppression, slavery, idolatry. It seems like Mutabaruka takes Egypt only as pride of a black people thriving civilization, but what could be the spiritual value of that. As a Mexican it will be like me taking pride on the Mexicas (Aztecs) for building their own pyramids, but they were also an imperial civilization which dominated violently the other smaller and pacific groups. A Rasta shouldn’t take pride in the prophets of Abraham? one for each group and color, all meant to bring the one love?
Yuo have some good points, but on Muta's main points, he is right. It is a Black Liberation Movement!!!
@@alkebulanman3280 Muta say that Rastafari is in a first point a spiritual moviment, so is universal, and say that It is also a global liberation Moviment and in this global liberation moviment is present expecialy the "black" liberation, and some reggae fans beliving that rastafari is only reggae and dont take part in the liberation.
Muta says that some reggae fans improvise rasta but that instead of singing reggae songs they should join the battle more. I have know muta in real life and he is friends with many Rastas of European and Asian origin, some are also related to him, also in his room he has a remarkable painting that was given to him by a "white" Rasta artist, not to mention his great friendship with Dreadloop . Also if you listen to his interviews and if you read the book "The globalization of Rastafari" you can see how he himself says that he admires how different people in the world that he has met are following Rastafari perfectly. Also in the 1980s Mutabaruka was in the Rastafari delegation that preached the Rastafari movement all over the world especially in Europe.
Muta in this video say that all the peoples they have to seriously embrace social struggles, and it shows that it only refers to a few young reggae fans.
Rastafari is also especially a spiritual thing, and what is Spiritual is universal, and Muta also says it perfectly in this video.
The Black power is a philosophical and social concept which means that everything comes from black, the first man was "black", before the sun was created there was black, when the new day comes before the sun rises there is black etc. .. and it is also a concept that promotes pure social equality and the balance of all peoples.
Muta explains it in many arguments about him and see this video in which Miguel Lorne (friend of Muta) explains everything well:
ua-cam.com/video/i3Al6JZwunI/v-deo.html
The Balck power concept is also called with the name of Black supremacy. Leonard Howell himself writes in the he book "The Promise Kay" in the chapter 'The Government':
"Black Supremacy will promote mortals of all shadows based on our powers. The Black Museum will be open day and night for life. Education will be free and compulsory for all mortal beings, if you are not an enemy of the black
supremacy ".
This is what the Howell followers say:
"According to Sam Davis (a Howelite and member of the original Pinnacle community), [Leonard] Howell taught that there were two supremacies in the world, black and white. The two supremacies represented Good (or God and the angels) and Evil (or Satan). But in reversal of the European orthodoxy, good is represented by black, and evil by white. 'The world is divided, you see,' Mr Davis said to me. 'It's war, Satan and God playing a wicked war.' The justification for seeing the black supremacy as representing good is arrived at by a a combination of factors. First, the Book of Genesis describes God as making man in his own image. And secondly, as Noel Dyer had pointed out to me when I was in Shashamene, most people now agree that mankind developed, initially, in Africa. Thus it is logical to suppose that the first men had black skin. Black supremacy, according to Howell, was the return to the original state of the cosmos, and he preached that mankind could not regain happiness until all nations had, as Mr Davis put it, 'come back and agree in one consent with black supremacy before happiness can achieve to universal creation'....
Mr Davis was quick to elaborate on the notion of black supremacy in case I should be under the impression that it was purely racist, anti-white ideology. He beckons me to move closer so that he can lower his voice. 'I'm going to tell you the direct thing. Not because the man is white, not the woman white, is they cast out. No, sir. I don't have it that way. In the kingdom, black will be there, and white will be there, because in the kingdom you have the elect of every nation, who become one supremacy. This is it, one aim, one God, and one destination. ' "

Blackheart Man: A Journey Into Rasta

@@rastafarieldersteachings5674 Give thanx. Brother, I was a Rastafarian, I understand all about what he is saying. But today's Rastafari is a deviation from the original concept. Rastafari was based on the bible, where the scattered children of Africa, via slavery, are the true children of Israel. His Majesty, Haile Selassi, who was crowned, Moa anbessa ze imneggeda Yehudah Kedemawi Haile Selassi, Sihume Egziabher, Negusa Negest ze Ityopya, meaning: Conquering lion of the tribe of Judah, Haile Selassi the first, Elect of god, King of Kings of Ethiopia. Rastafari is a deviation. We, the scattered Africans, via the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, as well as those scattered centuries before, via the Arab Slave Trade, and even before, are the true Israelite. And, we are being awakened worldwide and reuniting in this present day. We are the fastest growing group of awakening "Black people" worldwide. We are in the Americas, the Caribbean...literally in every nation, as the bible said it would be. Our time is NOW!
@@alkebulanman3280 Rastafari yes come from the bible. Is a biblical moviment, and like the bible say His Imperial Majesty coming for the Redemption of the oppressed peoples and for every one and one international peace.
Blessings
Rastafari Elders Teachings but then again since it’s indeed a biblical movement, the praise of Egypt is a bit of a contradiction. Jah (Jehova) praise is also in the center of the Rastafari belief, Egypt biblically represents the first enslaving, oppressing power to the children of god. Conceptually Egypt is an enemy of liberation of spiritual people. I understand how Muta acknowledges here as a proper black thriving civilization in the wake of racist comments of people like Elon Musk, doubting the origins of the architectural might of the pyramids on African people. Yet I feel this is a worldly pride in my humble opinion, contradictory to the yahwist aspects of the Rasta tradition.
YES RASTA MUTABARUKA A TRUE YOU TELL.
A di same thing mi seh fi years now! Big up yuhself @I Never Knew TV and mi master teacher MUTABARUKA!
Racist
@@johncousins4665 Can't be a racist even if mi tried! Things Rasta used to uplift the minds of our ppl without the denigration of others can't be racist. No such thing as race. Learn the etymology of history and archeology before conversing with I!
@@Dookydreads I know all I need to know, you should learn that !
@@johncousins4665yeah I've learned that stagnancy is your mindset "with all I need to know".
@@Dookydreads is it now, so you know everything
Muta muta rise above dem thing hold on to his majesty give thanks and praises jah know peace and love let not your heart be troubled like while fire things gone wild
Real talk Muta ....blessings
I'm black. When I just sight rasta and the livety I tried to tell my parents and grandparents about it they weren't having it. They are from Jamaica. Looking back it was a waste of my time. I should of just journey with the almighty and leave everybody else because the only one you can save is Yourself. If black elders can't get it you can't expect the white elders to get it unless they were born for it. Young white rastas should not waste their time just keep living up to the best of their knowledge. The time they are going to waste explaining to a set of people who don't care about our culture they can just go hold a meds with almighty and get more insight about their journey in life to become a better being in this life time.
BLAZE DI 🔥🔥🔥ELDAH......💯❤️RASTAFARI.....
Blessed Love. For YEARS before my mom know who and RASPECT Haile Selassie is because I Rastafari did talk to her about Selassie. I have HIM picture on my wall for OVER 30+ years now, so of course she's going to ask I who the is, and I explained to her EVERYTHING about The King. Plus the fact that for 25+ years I/we lived around brown Chicano people in Tucson Arizona. And for over 30+ years around and with Native Indigenous americans
Give thanks, Muta. On point...
I agree 100%. So many Rasta musicians have children with many black women but, will marry nonblack women. If these "white rastas" truly cared about Black liberation, they would spread the knowledge and the world wouldn't be racist. Black people wouldn't have to endure "craziness in life.
Yeah... Liberia is the living proof 😂😂😂
Thaaaaaaaaaank you. Finally somebody said it
All men can learn from this man. Never fall asleep drunk when you kids can get your beard trimmers. God bless
Gratitude 🙏🏾
Nuff respect Mutabaruka, greetings from Gambia. Rastas and Rastafarians through music are the only human right activists, justice and freedom Ambassadors they are. They are the only people speaking the Truth today. Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ from a Gambian brother living inner the White man world. But living a Rastafarians philosophy
"It no good fi stay inna white man country too long..."
--Mutabaruka
Rasta music is saturated with Israelite references. Even Bob Marley and now Ziggy promoted this ism in their music.
Haile Selassie Is, Jew....The God Of Abraham. Father of Isaac and Ishmael, the son of Haggah.... Reuben.
While Bob used biblical references to Israel, he never actually supported the zionist colony (at least to my knowledge). Ziggy, on the other hand, with way more time and chances to overstand what today's so called state of Israel represents, fully support it, just as he clearly prefers the company of white people to that of Africans.
@@musamusashi no arguments with that, they all do though - end up with white or light skinned spouses and children for some strange reason.
The Original Israelite were, and ARE Black to this day. Do some research.
@@alkebulanman3280You have lost the plot if you have to research some mythical stories written by bronzed ages cultures. Maybe, maybe not but perception is reality and reality is perception.
Hes right . Being silent is complicit in oppresion. Will this be our reputation?
The battle is Won by the Realization of One. Humanity is Ethiopian. African liberation is Human Liberation of Soul mind and body.. Enlightened Light of the World. His Majesties Teachings transcend borders and race and are for the upliftment of creation towards the Most High Jah... Members of a New Race. Wrong thinking created these problems and right reasoning and perfected principles are the corrective measures. All are worthy to sing His praises. All are One in HIM. Love is the Law. Proclaim Mercy and Righteousness. Come together in Unity and stay undivided. Heal the hard hearted and split minded ones with Our Father’s Light. Make all things New. Affirm Life. 1-Jah.
Power of the Trinity
Black Afrika and afrikans first without apology
@@haroldwilson6015 Yah bless you. May all be free from suffering and feel their Oneness with existence
Have your people pay REPARATIONS to Africans for enslavement, exploitation, oppression, etc.
A true talk. Yes reality, true talk.
yes white man telling black man what is Rasta 😂🤣😂🤣
And there is nothing of bad in this.
"Balck" is the father and "white", "yellow" etc... the sons.
The father teach at the sons and when children learn they become equal to their father and teach others of their nationalities and also blacks who do not know what Rastafari is.
Muta says in this video that some reggae fans improvise rasta but that instead of singing reggae songs they should join the battle more. I have know muta in real life and he is friends with many Rastas of European and Asian origin, some are also related to him, also in his room he has a remarkable painting that was given to him by a "white" Rasta artist, not to mention his great friendship with Dreadloop . Also if you listen to his interviews and if you read the book "The globalization of Rastafari" you can see how he himself says that he admires how different people in the world that he has met are following Rastafari perfectly. Also in the 1980s Mutabaruka was in the Rastafari delegation that preached the Rastafari movement all over the world especially in Europe.
Muta in this video say that all the peoples they have to seriously embrace social struggles, and it shows that it only refers to a few young reggae fans.
Rastafari is also especially a spiritual thing, and what is Spiritual is universal, and Muta also says it perfectly in this video.
The Black power is a philosophical and social concept which means that everything comes from black, the first man was "black", before the sun was created there was black, when the new day comes before the sun rises there is black etc. .. and it is also a concept that promotes pure social equality and the balance of all peoples.
Muta explains it in many arguments about him and see this video in which Miguel Lorne (friend of Muta) explains everything well:
ua-cam.com/video/i3Al6JZwunI/v-deo.html
The Balck power concept is also called with the name of Black supremacy. Leonard Howell himself writes in the he book "The Promise Kay" in the chapter 'The Government':
"Black Supremacy will promote mortals of all shadows based on our powers. The Black Museum will be open day and night for life. Education will be free and compulsory for all mortal beings, if you are not an enemy of the black
supremacy ".
This is what the Howell followers say:
"According to Sam Davis (a Howelite and member of the original Pinnacle community), [Leonard] Howell taught that there were two supremacies in the world, black and white. The two supremacies represented Good (or God and the angels) and Evil (or Satan). But in reversal of the European orthodoxy, good is represented by black, and evil by white. 'The world is divided, you see,' Mr Davis said to me. 'It's war, Satan and God playing a wicked war.' The justification for seeing the black supremacy as representing good is arrived at by a a combination of factors. First, the Book of Genesis describes God as making man in his own image.

He beckons me to move closer so that he can lower his voice. 'I'm going to tell you the direct thing. Not because the man is white, not the woman white, is they cast out. No, sir. I don't have it that way. In the kingdom, black will be there, and white will be there, because in the kingdom you have the elect of every nation, who become one supremacy. This is it, one aim, one God, and one destination. ' "

Much respect to this Black Man is unapologetically keeping it real!
I'm a white 22 year old from England. I have alot of love for reggae, and I have a lot of sympathy towards the injustice of what the black race has suffered over all these years. I'll never claim to be something I'm not, I'm not a rasta but I do believe in a Babylon system. A system that is trying to shun down people for what they are, freedom is entitled to any man, women and child who walks upon this earth. I don't believe things are a certain races issue. It's a human race issue that we all need to acknowledge and help find the justice from all those years of slavery. Much love and respect 👊
