All Jamaicans should hang our collective heads in shame for that incident in history
We should still be ashamed because NO ONE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO JUSTICE FROM THESE HEINOUS CRIMES and Jamaica still treat RasTafari like criminals to be looked down upon. No Jamaican government has ever protected its people. They are all slaves to western corruption which includes The IMF and The World Banks
The apology by Holness is not, never, never, ever acceptable!
They distract us through deep corruption, bringing about high level murder rates for decades now in the country
Since "independence"
Independence mi rass
What an abusive insult to Jamaican people but we also could have done nothing about the colonial abuses then or today. We are forever pawns in this game
Bustamante ordered the murder of RasTafari
Jamaican people
All Jamaican leaders, with the exception of Michael Manely have abused Jamaican people and continue to do so today
Corral Gardens
Someone said that Rastaman dem just up and burnt down a gas station
Really?
Just for the hell of it
Another "rumor" is that the CIA and or the FBI groomed black agents to grow "Dread locks" on their heads, to simulate RasTafari, burnt the gas station so that the corrupt government would have an excuse to raid Corral Gardens of probably a few million dollars from ganja sales that could not be put legally in bank accounts. The raids then and now were and are about stealing RasTafari money
This is only a rumor though [wink wink]
I believe there are other stories and rumors too, but the Prime Minister at the time, "Sir" Alexander Bustamante famously said, and I paraphrase, "if they cannot fit in the jail house, there is room for them on Bogue Hill."
Bogue Hill was a cemetery
"Sir", gave a statement to the babylon to effectively brutalize and kill RasTafari man and rape RasTafari woman
Jamaican man and woman
Innocent Jamaicans
"Sir" is no Jamaican hero
Not to I man
Nanny, yes
Three Finger Jack, yes
Nanny, Jack, Leonard Howell, Marcus Garvey and others, used their love for the people to create better education for intellectual, spiritual and financial upliftment for their people. For all people
They put themselves at risk and do not bow
Spanky is like that
A RasTafari, peaceful man at heart, a teacher, selling herb, marijuana, ganja for decades now and playing music, reggae music to his community. My community
I asked him how many times his businesses were raided by the Toronto police. I asked if he had a number written down of the times babylon raided his establishment to which he said, over the past 20 years, he has lost count
I average 5 raids a year, for 25 years puts it at over 100 times. This is a conservative count
Why was he raided you ask?
Selling herb to the community is that answer
Herb
Ganja
The same ganja that babylon now profits from with their dispensaries
They told us that he was a gangster
This highly respected RasTafari elder does not bow and through his perseverance, he has given I man a real strength to stand up on I own two feet as a man
A real man
A Lion of I community
A proud Rastaman
After each raid and he was released he was back to chopping herb for the community THE VERY NEXT DAY!
Nuh hitch
This Rastaman is leader, owner and selecta of King Stereograph here in Toronto, a RasTafari Sound System serving our community for close to three decades now. A true musical servant of this community
A RasTafari elder of honor, courage and integrity who has been friend and mentor to many
A man of nobility that leads through his actions. A man who I speak highly about to my own children
He is no "criminal". That is babylonian disrespect which I refuse to ever accept. Their bullshit isn't my truth and certainly does nothing to diminish my love and respect for this general
He elevates the community
He elevates me
He inspires my work as he does with many around him
DJ Records, at Eglinton and Keele is where he sells music, drums, herbs, roots drinks, ludo boards, books and literature on RasTafari, incense and much more. I encourage our community to promote and to support this leader of our village
