Kids who say "Rasta is played" are played.

Shut up, doesn't matter wat clothing style you claim (gangsta/emo/old-skool/rich kid/poor kid/ lumberjack/dirtbag/technosexual/rasta/whateva) as long as you can ski, that's all that really matters.

...and as for muzik, good reggae is timeless.

i love how someone can try to say that a religion is "played"... christianity is so played out right now! thank God Falwell died, otherwise Jesus would have just started to get OLD. want to know what's "played"? giving a shit. do your own thing and let others be.

saying "rasta is in" is like saying "christianity is so hot right now" or "dude being muslim is in right now". Rasta is a religion not a fashion.

Bob Marley was one of the greats. He was amazing in concert. If you haven't then you should check out the film, "The Harder They Come" starring Jimmy Cliff

rasta is a religion and a pretty devout one at that. i agree with a lot of their beliefs but some of them i don't believe at all. Their beliefs are very similar to cristian beliefs as the ethipoian bible is pretty much the same as the christian one. most people look at like catholisim and they say "oh that's religion thats dumb" but they think rastafari is dope just because of the ritual smoking of herb, they don't realize that rasta has many faults just as christianity does. the most outstanding of them in my mind being the degradation of women. in orthodox rasta society women are looked at as second class citizens, which i don't think is very admirable. regardless, if yellow red and green werent associated with rasta i would still wear the shit our of it cus it's a dope color scheme.

I think he means rasta is literally played on his radio station. Though I could be wrong.

in the sense of kids wearing a bunch of rasta colors its definately getting played, but as a life style/ religion it can't and defianately isn't getting played, in fact i think that most people rarely even remember its anything more then the colors red yellow and green, and maybe the fact that weed if associated with it.

Rasta can't be "played", rasta is a way of life/religion. Most people who wear rasta stuff are not part of the religion (myself included) but do however believe in many of the principle beliefs. Unity, Love, Peace, Equality, Justice etc.... they just don't believe Haile Sellasie to be a diety.

1. AndrewT is right when he says rasta canot be played.
2. i do see lots of peopl who wear rasta colours and do not even know what they mean, what the hell? Or dont even listen to reggae
3. It is more common to see the rasta colours these days.
5. Your radio show doesnt work

i hope white people realize that devout rastas tend to be racist against whites... i mean, let's be honest, our ancestors kinda fucked black people over, so i'm not blaming them- they just hate white people because we're white and what our skin tone has meant for hundreds of years. white people claiming to be rastafari are just retards.

Some girl was wearing a shirt with the rasta colors on it. I've never worn rasta colors but I do listen to a good amount of reggae, especially whe I ski. I asked her if she could tell me what the significance was of just one of the colors.

She turned red and the best thing she could come up with was "black power"?

So I'll outline it like this. If you know what its about, listen to reggae, and agree with a few of the principles rastas live by, then its fine to wear some green yellow red.

If you're doing it for the fashion points and have no idea what you are representing, then you are a tool.

I hate those rasta CLH sweatshirts.

agreed. You don't have to acctually practice the religion, just know what it's about, appreciate it and of course it helps to listen to reggae.

Get over it, they are colors. If you wear it and it means something to you, cool. If somebody wears green, red, and yellow and can't answer your trivial questions on their symbolic meaning, who gives a shit.

I wouldn't really say they see women as 2nd class citizens. It's more that men and women have a different role. The woman would be the traditional motherly figure, the man would be the one who works hard, earns the money etc.

It's kind of wrong to say they look at women as 2nd class citizens, you can find lots of examples in reggae music that give thanks to women. eg "thank you mamma" by sizzla, now I don't really know if sizzla is an orthodox rasta like you're talking about. I know he's a bobo which is the strictest of all the religions, but I think recently his views have been changing, that's pretty obvious when you listen to his recent music

The green represents the vegetation, yellow the riches, and red the blood that was shed over the land
