1.0 out of 5 stars RASTAFARI AN CURSING???, January 19, 2004
By Carlyle Black (washington, dc United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First of all there is no such thing as Rastafarian cursing!!! Rastafarians are a peaceful loving cult who participate in praising Jah Rastafari (God) our king Haile Selassie. We do burn fiyah and brimstone with judgement upon bad and negative things. We do not curse, we praise. Now there may be such a thing as Jamaican patois cursing, but no such thing as Rasta curses. Fiyah pon dis book!!!
