I would hope thats not true.If i'm not mistaken,your name on here is beginner?Maybe they thought you seemed awkwered or different and wrongly judged you in their heads,alot of people are like that.I've had locks since I was 16 years old.I only cut them off once,and when I did I noticed people treated me different at public gatherings for some reason.I can now stuff them in my back pockets they are so long.But like Morgan heritage say's-you don't haffi dread to be Rasta.I can't see any significant ceartain reason why you would be targeted or ''looked at funny''.Alot of people also go through some kind of a phase and brag and flaunt Rasta Fari and wear the cloths and fake the accent to be different without really understanding what their talking about.Maybe they judged you like that.You were also talking about being a quarter black and maybe thats why.I'm all white and I'm 33 years old,I found Rasta philosophy at 15 and have been changed ever since.I can;t honestly claim Rasta because I'm forced to pay taxes and eat food thats grown with hormones,and have tattoos,''one is a huge lion of judah''.I eat meat from time to time but not alot.All these things about me are a negative in true rasta way,although Rasta has changed my life in a great way,and i'm very glad that I understand the philosophy I can't honestly claim Rasta,even though I try.I don't think you should feel like you have to prove anything to someone that won't give you a chance in the first place,respect,D

ps.-when I traveled with Joseph hill and Culture with the band ''Dub Access''playing congas,I remember joseph loved kentucky fried chicken.And it reminded me how hard it is to live the true rasta way when your engulfed in babylon.I wonder if those frowning people you spoke of would frown to know that.everyone is a beginner to me,its really hard to master life and avoid temptation in this world of evil.Its almost like the wrong side won when it comes to mankind.I wish the good didn't haft to be surrounded by the wicked.If you are a good person and believe in your beliefs,then there should be no-one giving a fake bow to you or turning their backs to you when you pass,maybe you should give them an obvious fake bow back!

dirtyd,

You said that about Joseph hill a few months ago. I thought you were just talking foolishness. Did you actually see him eat KFC? The reason I ask is because based on some of the sounds he chants, it doesn't make any sense that he ate it.

Here are a couple of songs from the album PayDay that was released in 2000.

-------------------------------
Chicken Titty

Whap'n sah, leggo mi fowl!
Him have no titty
What you mean, you want fowl breast to eat?
What you want it for?
Them telling lie on the chicken
Telling lie on the chicken
Telling lie on the chicken
Say that them eat off him breast
The chicken nah got no titty
Chicken no got no titty
Because them telling lie on the chicken
Telling lie on the chicken
Telling lie on the chicken
Say that them eat off him breast
She use a wing to shelter her young one
A wing to shelter her young ones
A wing to shelter her young one
Because she nah no titty
The chicken no got no titty
The chicken no got no titty (How you say?)
Them telling lie on this poor chicken
Telling lie on the chicken
Because them eat off him breast
Whap'n sah, leggo mi fowl
Whap'n sah, leggo Miss Mary fowl
The fowl nuh have no breasy
Look, if it have breast, you see nipple
Hey, whap'n, son?
Leggo the lady fowl
Want put up the chicken
Want fi put saddle pon the chicken
Want fi put saddle pon the chicken
The whole of them a ride pon the back
The chicken nah got no titty
Chicken nah got no titty
So them telling lie on the chicken
Telling lie on the chicken
Say that them want quart a milk
The chicken no got no titty
Chicken no got no titty
Telling lie on the chicken
Telling lie on poor chicken
Telling lie on the chicken
Say that them eat off him breast
Go on son, stop from milking Miss Mary fowl
You done hear she say when the fowl a pop
You will get one
So stop from doing that
Go on, son
Go answer the door so the cock come in
Go on, son, stop milk Miss Mary fowl
Move the bucket from beneath the fowl breast
Gwaan , son an do it. You hear what I say?
Telling lie on the chicken
Still telling lie on poor chicken
Them telling lie on the
Said that them eat off him breast
The chicken no got no titty
Chicken no got no titty
Telling lie on the chicken
Telling lie on poor chicken
Telling lie on the chicken
Say that them eat off him breast
Chicken nah got any breast (no nipple)
Chicken no got no titty
Them telling lie on the chicken
Telling lie on the chicken
Telling lie on the chicken
Until them swallow chicken problem
Chicken no got no titty
Chicken no got no titty (Whap'n sah)
Chicken no got no titty
Chicken no got no titty
Stop milk Miss Mary fowl
You remember the other man, Mr. Busta, rooster
And ride him and go to Reggae Sunsplash a Montego Bay
and back to Kingston
Whap'n sah, didn't do it

as a matter of fact I did.we traveled accross europe and the states.the guitar player at the time for dub access ""Don Kodzai''was from Zimbabwe and could'nt get his passport renewed and had to stay in the states.they used to make up their own crazy lyrics to other songs on their bus.I know he has said he was a Rastaman and not a barbarian,and he likes a likkle fresh rice cause he's an italist,but its true.Joseph was like a vessel spreading the good word.And his soul will forever live on through his messeges and what he did for Jamaican music and Rastas.He was a true natural and music and lyric just seemed to flow right out of him.He never wrote any of his music down cause he said he didn't want people to steal it.HE would say ''now you just go bomp bomp bomp and he goes janka janka janka and then he would start singing to it.we used to sell him the herb until he quit for a good while.Don would say ''your up there talkin bout legalization fi di ganja herb and you got all these kids singin along and then get mad at them for smoking ganja in the front row,and even walked off stage a few times.then he started chiefing again.He told me about this spring in Jamaica that was hot on one side and cool on the other and that thats where he would go to cleanse his soul.I wouldn't make that up.I shouldn't say that about him though,I hope i'm not offending anyone.But his whole band would stop at kfc and get chicken,they loved it,ask Kenyatta if his dad ate kfc.I've seen alot of self claimed Rastas drink beer,smoke ciggarettes and cheat on their wives.Its hard for alot of people to truley claim the rasta way and go through with it,i've seen it with my own eyes.I met him for the last time in my hometown of all places at amos south end in charlotte nc.2 months before he passed.I'm so glad to have met and chilled with a man of such natural skill.I'm in no way putting him down,but yes I saw him eat chicken,him and the rest of his band inside a kfc,and got some to go.if you don't believe me,let me know and i'll give you one of his guitarists phone number.We all have pics with him.I have a pic with Joseph with spliffs in hand and arms around each other.

I can recite every lyric to payday,actually the song payday is my favorite song on the cd,exept for legalization.I also have scientist dubs cultures payday.I like on the cd of payday how its got doller bills with josephs face on them,not the cover of payday but the cd itself.Tribal war cannot solve the problem was a Jamaican anthem.He was a prophet to me,very influential.I'm pretty much the trivia wiz when it comes to jamaican music from 1965-1983.It took me many years to fully understand jamaican patiou,I really wanted to know what they were saying.since I was born in north carolina,it was a little hard for me,but yes I know what he said in his songs,but he ate kfc

You will know when you are among rasta. It won't be outward appearance. Dreds and afrocentric colored clothes are the latest fads. I cut my locs when they started wearing them like they did the jerri curl in the 80's (everybody got one eventually)because I felt the need to set myself apart. Currently I am loc'ing again but my hair stays tied down and i wear a wig when on the plantation. I wear headwraps in all other public situations and I only completely uncover my head in my home. I am personally determined to keep my crown covered until my future king man uncovers it on our wedding night.

Why would it matter if Joseph Hill ate KFC? The band was propably on tour and needed some quick food. Bands that are touring don't always have the biggest budgets in the world and perhaps they were desperate for some quick food.

I and I agree that ital food is important and is an essential part of the Rasta livity, but what about the saying its not the food you eat but the words and actions of a man that defile him. In I and I view it would be alright if a hungy starving person ate unclean food if it was absolutely neccessary. Then again, maintaining an ital diet is the holy and healthy thing to do and one should strive to do so if it is in one's ability to do so.
