Bless up sistren,
The can never get an answer to this because Faith has no colour nor can it be seen. Now the colour thing is a funny matter there so many views on that but i agree with the i colour is colour what we are as a person is what counts. But i go be real on the subject. What keeps us seperated as people is the historic event of slavery what the white skin do the black skin. This what is holding us back from excelling in Faith we as black people looking for justice for slavery while we are selves also is to be blame we all know the truth they couldn't have catch us if we didn't sell out we own selves. Another thing Ible what we read is the start also of the seperation. For in the beginning he said let us make man. So let your faith, belief and wisdom grow there are so many people in the world we all read basically the same Ible so how come a white man, chinee man or what ever can't see the Truth, isn't that the truth shall set you free.
Give thanks and more life more strength Ras TafarI

Greetings Sistren Empress T,

De I is correct in viewing inthe statement "the heart of Love speaks faithfully",,,,,, Coming from a reall "Callaloo",(mixed version of humanity,) I-self know the power of LOVE, FAITH AND TOLERANCE of HUMNAITY. Being that knowledge and truth sparks de spirit/soul in same frequency as LOVE, and it is I conceptualizing that the neither rate of the frequency nor the recepticle of object of it's conception, (devotee) determines the shaping or character of the ones hit by that frequency. InI say that to reflect this: that the spark of fiyah, inspiration, realization, devotion to a particular concept, following or lifestyle trod is equally attainable by all man-kind and wombman according to him/her divine inclination. If de I is a recepticle of love, faith, and tolerance , then de I is equally touched and bonded in heart, mind and Irits to the ONE POWAH, ONE LOVE AND DIVINE INSPIRATION(inclination). NOW, if de I views the world in a narrower path to perfection, inclined to the pursuit of denominational, national and racial or group pursuits, then the necessity for separation, selfishness and self preservation becomes the motivating factor. The UNIVERSAL IRIT can also be of, for and about self betterment and group affiliation, but the wider sense of ONENESS is not simultaneously attainable. InI see that the part (self,race,group)cannot be a part of the whole(Iniversal concept of ONE LOVE)unless, indeed de I"S LEARN THE ART AND HONOUR OF SELF LOVE, PRESERVATION AND SOLIDARITY)This is de I's observation and personal experience, please feel free to apply any wisdom found herein and may it round out de I to a common denominator of INIVERRSAL LOVE and solidarity.

yes i empress
blessed love in the hola name of his imperial majesty i totally share your view point becos we have to bear in mind these words of his majesty until that day the color of a man skin is of no more signification than color of our eyes there will be war and rumor of wars...so as far as i'm concerned a human is a human as a dog is a dog not every black is my brother and not every white my enemy..

We all came from the same line... Adam & Eve.

And our heavenly Father also told us that he would regather ALL his children from all ends of the Earth, and place them in there own land. (Ezekiel 37)

All praises due to the God of the Spirits, King of the Universe... JAH! Rastafari... Jesus Christ, yesterday, today, and forever!

Selamte Empress T

This topic always comes up now and again. First, a word of caution; when you say being mixed race allows you to accept both sides the connotation carried in this phrasing is that you accept racial divisions and barriers. But then again, English is not my first language, so this may not be what you meant.

Perhaps again, the question that you pose is important in a society where race based on appearance is an issue. In my culture, there is no such thing as "mixed race". Your family and therefore racial identity is inherited in the paternal line. Therefore, 500 years from hence, my descendants in the male line from generations of Chinese, Masaai, Innuit, Scandanavian or whatever would still be as Buja as me, even if they do not "look" like me. Anyone rejecting them for this reason would be the racist.

Hear the words of the Father....

BLESSED LOVE IDREN I MEANT THAT I AM MIXED RACE AND I WAS RAISED TO NOT ONLY ACCEPTED ONE SIDE OF MY FAMILY INSTEAD, I WAS TAUGHT TO LOVE AND RESPECT BOTH SIDES, BUT SOMETIMES PPL OF A MIXED RACE ARE LOOKED DOWN ON AND SCORNED BECAUSE OF THEIR MIXING THEY ARE PRE-SIDERED TO BE NOT WHOLE IN A SENSE OF SKIN COLOR. I AM SOMETIMES DISGUSTED WITH THE JUDEMENTALNESS. BUT IN FACT I BELIEVE THAT FACT HAS NO COLOR JUST THAT THE HEART SPEAKS FAITHFULLY

One's color is said to be due to adaptation to one's environment. Whether it be true or not, skin color cannot now or ever be used to judge one's character and where their faith rests. This whole idea of white and black which serves as the foundation on which many people today base their decisions began because of the misconceptions of others in the past. We all know the wise man build not his house on the sand. For this reason, we all have to abandon this idea of difference amongst human beings and consider ourselves all equal. The gates to Zion is open to all and the key to its gates stems from the goodness of one's heart and their character. One God...One Aim...One Destiny.

One Love!!!

Blessings Sistren,
I also am from mixed race and have experienced d judgement. Not black enuff for some not white enuff for others. Thankfully d I is jus as The Most High JAH intended, jus as d way everyone around is d way the Most High intend. Faith, love, righteousness cannot b based on d colour of a man skin, but same way Rasta live by compassion and not Judgement, so I don't judge even the unrighteous.
JAH Blessings and Guidance Queen.

Thank you sistren for acknowledging this. I am so sick of all of this negativity towards what the color of your skin is. How does the color of ones skin change the spirit inside of him? Its definitely something to think of. The world will be a better place when we all seem to unite. Jah Bless.
