The question "can a whiteman be a Rastfarian"? is synonymous with another, to wit, "can a whiteman be an African"?. The answer to both of these, IMHO, is unequivocally and irrefutably, YES! In fact I would go so far as to say that neither of these descriptions or human characterizations would be true to the very tenets of their expressions if the answers to these two questions were not in the affirmative.  In addition, the ever enlightening and expanding science of geneology has shown without doubt that everyone on this planet can justifiably claim kinship with Africa and thus eveything originating therefrom.

There are two important aspects here that people often forget: there is race and there is culture.  Many people assume the culture and race will "match" but that is not always the case.

There are black colored men who act and think like an American white businessman.  There are white colored men who act and think like an American rapper.  In fact, some people might even say that the white rapper is probably "more black" than the black guy who adopted "white" culture.

As you can see, even in the names we chose to describe this situation, it reveals the confusion people have over culture vs. race.  They are not the same thing, even though most people try to treat them as if they are.

Yes. I think that he would be accepted as a Rastfarian, I would hope that we have overcome (the color of skin)and now deal with the content.

YOU KNOW WHAT IS ALWAY SAID DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER. OPEN AND READ IT.

I agree.  I think most people have overcome the color thing, but there are always some ignorant ones still out there.
