How to Date a Jamaican man book cover

I don’t mean beware in a bad way, and I don’t mean beware to only white women, but it’s mainly white women who complain about dating a Jamaican Man. I will tell you about my o

own personal experience and you can draw your own conclusions. But before I do I want to tell you a little about me. My name is Empress Yuajah, that is my Rasta name. I am a Rastafari woman who currently resides in Toronto, but my desires is to live in Jamaica by the end of 2013. I have been Rasta from conception but didn’t accept this part of my self completely until about age 31. I am a full-time blogger and Author, also a song writer.  Lets get to it!

White women offended by my honesty

I have written articles in the past about why black men date white women. I noticed white women just get offended and want to tell me off. I wish they would say, thank you. Thank you Empress for your honesty. Because nowhere else am I gonna get the advice of a Jamaican woman who understands the mind of Jamaican men and who will tell me the truth about the motivations of some Jamaican men. But anyway, I have since looked at that page again. I saw that one white women commented without going into a rage. So I will put that page entitled “Why black men date white women – a black womans perspective” back up on my blog. Let it be.

I guess white women see this heading in the search engines and expect to find things like

  • White women have skin like angels
  • hair like silk

Instead I’m calling a spade a spade and they don’t like it. Don’t get me wrong, I think interracial love is beautiful, I haven’t been with a black man in 10 years myself. It’s just that some of the motivations of black men, concerning dating white women, concern me.

I then wrote dating a Jamaican man 12 things women need to know. It’s mostly about having a Jamaican man living in Jamaica, and what you need to know before you start making plans to bring him to America or Canada or before you move down there.

My own Jamaican Man experience

I went to Jamaica in February of 2012. I met a very sexy and very handsome tall Jamaican man. He looked like an Angel sent straight from heaven. To be honest at first I wasn’t so attracted black man black womanto him because I figured a guy like that could never be trusted. Eventually I had to come back home to Canada. So we began corresponding on the phone. 8 months!!! We talked on the phone for 8 months, everyday and I shared my heart and soul with him. One day, he stops calling me. Christmas went by and he didn’t even call me to see if I was alive or dead. At first I was devastated. I felt depressed and pissed off. But I knew somehow deep down inside my self that if I would just allow time to heal my heart, there were some good things to come for me. So that is what I did. When I took the time to think about everything, I realized he was just out to use me, and I am a Jamaican.

Why Beware?

I mentioned in the title for white women to beware because, If I am a Jamaican woman, and something as ridiculous as this can happen to me. Then for someone who is totally clueless about Jamaican culture and experiencing Jamaican culture, by getting to know a Jamaican man for the first time, then her journey has many risks so to speak. If you think I am making this up because I want to make white women look stupid, I am not. Just read my article How to date a Jamaican man and you will read over 100 comments from women having experiences with Jamaican men. Mostly negative.

My advice to white women dating Jamaican men.

My advice to white women dating Jamaican men. Beware. Proceed with caution. Jamaican men can be very alluring. I am not saying there are not good Jamaican men, there are! But if you are a foreign woman, like me, then we need to be cautious and know some things. Read my 12 things women need to know about dating a Jamaican man. I have to get it back up online. It’s just a few bucks. It’s worth it if you are dating a Jamaican man living in Jamaica and you plan to marry him and bring him abroad. Just wanted to let you know. White women have to be extra careful. Why, because you may be playing with a wolf wearing sheep’s clothing and not know it. It happened to me, it can happen to you.  A Jamaican man can use you and break your heart and many times you wont see it coming. Just wanted you to know. Yes not all Jamaican men do this to women, but some do.

Jah Bless

Rastafari Lives. Love.

Listen to the Almighty

Its been a long time since I did one of these but I feel it is the best thing right now. I am suppose to be going to Jamaica by the end of the year. I feel I am not financially prepared. But Jah asked me to do this about 3 years about, just fresh after I started growing my dreadlocks. Could you imagine telling the Almighty that you are not ready? Well…that is exactly what I did. I have not stopped paying through the nose for this decision. I now know my happiness and financial situation today would have been dramatically different had I taken his advice.

Broken heart

I am feeling somewhat confused right now…about many things. The only thing I know for sure is that I do want to keep on writing e-books. I will be honest. My heart has been broken by a Jamaican man lately without explanation. There was no intimate action, so I guess that makes it a bit better, but still it hurts. One good thing is it has inspired me to write a new book. I’m still scared to go to Jamaica, and having a broken heart is not helping, but some where deep down inside of me, I know that with what I intend to do, it’s better I do it without him. I feel like my mind will be more focused now on my business instead of him. I swear some women just give too much to their men, I am definitely one of them.

Advice from Spiritual Friend

So, I have a very spiritual friend. She is a Christian, we talked last night, she encouraged me to pray and to Just take a leap of faith. This is after I told her that the Almighty has a way of working things out for me. Sometimes even better than what I had intended. He knows me, he knows whats best for me.

He foresaw our Breakup

Before my boyfriend ( a Jamaican man) and I broke up, I was entering it felt like, a state of depression. I couldn’t seem to get my self to be happy. To be happy was an effort. I hated pretending, but I felt I had to do it, mostly for him. Would you believe every time I needed that guy, he would turn his back on me. In hindsight, he wasn’t interested in me at all, just the idea of me. Having a woman from foreign to talk to. Gee Wiz. I was being used. Truth is I was using him too. I knew I was. Cause I wanted some one living in Jamaica to talk to. Funny. You know what he said to me recently. He said…in reference to a text message I sent him expressing my love….’ If I am pretending…I know you are not pretending’ I was so focused on the part of him knowing that I was being honest, that I didn’t even realize, he was telling me he wasn’t being real with me. The part that really kills me is….why on Jah green earth would he do this 30 days before I am about to see him again. We have been talking on the phone for 8 months….30 days before I arrive you pull out. I suppose I should look at it figuratively as well huh. Gross but true. I am thankful to the Almighty Jah, that I found out how he was now instead of later.

Any way I have some big plans for my visit, or my move to Jamaica. Everything is up in the air. My spiritual friend suggested I buy a new backpack, just for my trip, and just go with the flow. With the Almighty, all things are possible.

Some of my Rastafari Books

Well, I have recently finished my book on African-American Spirituality entitled ‘Rastafari’ get on amazon.com Its Jam packed with information. Great for anybody who wants to understand Rastafari, for the truth of it. Actually I wrote the book with the Jamaican black people in mind. I am currently writing a book of ‘Jah Jah Prayers’ and another book called ‘White Rastafari’ Well maybe I am burying my self in work so that I don’t think about that guy who just stopped calling me with no explanation. That’s life right. But the truth is I didn’t much appreciate his way of thinking. It was very different from mine. I am about cleanliness, the Rastafari way of thinking living and doing. He had more of a Babylonian mind; sleep with as many women as you can unprotected. I’m sorry but its true. The funny thing is, I know he is one of the better quality Jamaican men. LOL. Anyway I think I have talked enough. I love you all. thank you for listening.

 

 

New Book ‘Jah Prayers’ Jah Rastafari Prayers for life’s difficult times.

Forgiveness

‘Jah Jah please help me to forgive. Please put your light into my heart that it may be unhardened. Jah you created, day and night, I know with you all things are possible.’

Jah causes the sun to rise and to set, a new day comes every 24 hours. With this new beginning day, he encourages us to release all that is no longer serving us, and make way for new opportunities, and experiences to come. In the light and love of the Almighty Jah, I allow forgiveness to fill my heart, with the rise of the new sun.

No More Black Woman and Black Man Love Relationships?

Was it just survival?

Do you think you could find more black man and black woman relationships in the 80s and before because it was an issue of survival? We as a people were still fighting for our rights so to speak during those times. I’m still not sure if I can say we are in the clear. But maybe a lot of black men and black women feel a lot more free pardon the pun, to be who they are and therefore feel like they don’t have to have a black person by their side helping them to fight the fight any more.

What about those who are single and black and who today want to marry within the black nation. Is this something of past. Are these people shit out of luck. If they are you can count me in.

More black men date white

More and more black men now days are opting to date and marry non black women. It makes for slim pickings for a woman like me who refuses to be with someone of a different ethnicity than her, Why you may be asking. Its something that is important to me. It’s who I am, carried, on. I want to mate black to produce black because I am so in love with my culture and my people.

More black women interracial date

Many black women are opting to date outside the black race to, however I feel their reasoning is a little different from the black mans. I feel many black woman are doing this because frankly the black men leave them no other choice since black men are no longer choosing to date black women and b a lot of black women are dating outside their race because they seem to mixing and mingling more outside of the black community and it is a common occurence to date interracial these days.

The matter of respect for black women

I feel like the interracial mixing between white men and black women is more underground, or less public and that the interracial dating and marrying of white women to black men is more mainstream. I feel like the black woman who dates out side of her race does not get the same respect as the black man who dates out side his race

I feel like the black woman is seen as a sell out, where the black man is seen as making the right choice and doing what every man should be doing. When I look at it from the outside. I feel the black woman benefits the most. But maybe that is just my own biased opinion, you figure it out.

what am I to the black man now?

Sometimes I wonder just exactly what I am suppose to be to a  black man who now exclusively sleeps with women non black. I actually have someone in my life like that now. It make for alot of arguments. I think he likes me as a friend because I am the only women in his life who doesn nto want to have sex with him.

I need a black Rasta man!

Being Rastafari, not just cause  a man is black it means I want him. Oh No! he must be Rasta. A true Rasta, and also not too tall please….lol then I may want him. This friend of mine is confusing, the whole friendship is confusing. We had a terrible argument the other day and I said some pretty bad things. oh well.

Black men hate black women now

There are black men nowadays that hate black women so much so they want to show black women how much they hate them. It happens to me all the time. I just turn my head. There are some white women who are extremely jealous of black women’s DNA. The whole thing is diabolical.

Are black men brainwashed?

I am a black woman who loves black, I seek to date and marry black. I don’t have any thing to prove to anybody. I love my self. I feel hurt that black men seek to date out side of their race and feel some how they are better than black woman or that they want to cause pain to black woman. All in all its their own self hate. This is brainwashing at its best folks.

King Selassie married black

What happened to the days of King Selassie and his wife Empress Menen. Another example of a black man and black woman who loved each other. King Selassie married Black. He is seen as a Role model to many Rastafari men.

White girls and Black Rastas

I was having a conversation with a white female friend of mine one day….she asked something I can’t remember the question, my reply to her was “I wont answer that” She said “Why cause true Rastas don’t date white girls…” I looked at her with absolute shock. I said oh my gosh who told you that. She said this girl she use to know. I was shocked to hear that out of her mouth. But then she kept say “right, right?” I told her “yes, real Rastamen do not date white women” she said see I know you don’t have to hide it from me. She said “why” I said “its to keep the blood lines pure”

In Rastafari we have believed in this for a long time. But from years ago you would find Rastamen who did date white women. But there are many who refuse. There are some who do it for financial gain but are not happy in the relationship. Then there are some who wont even let the thought enter their minds.

Which Rastas date white?

Anyway I just find it sad to see that more and more black men are opting not to date black women. the only men that I can see that date black women exclusively are Rastamen, and that’s only some of them. It seems the ones that come from the smaller islands date white women abundantly. Many Jamaican Rasta who live in Jamaica are still interested in black women.

hm well, everybody can do as they like, it is a free country and its 2011. Time for people to make their own decisions and choices concerning love. The time of Black Unity, has ended.



 

Peace and blessings to all who read this. Unity for all, Jah Ras Tafari

do you hate (JAMAICAN) black men, so do i

by

I have been having some bad experiences with jamaican men lateley, have you. I find they lie so much just to get sex from you. they can be insecure and have many women and not even tell you about it. I was so fond of one who was about 4 foot 11 seriously he was the cutest little rasta man i had ever seen in my life. I wanted to have him so bad. maybe thats why I dont. he is the mosrt insecure, short tempered person I have ever met in my life. Truly i think he was hiding his penis from me. but whatever. If I saw him today I would do anything for him. I have a thing for short people. My says its because I am tall. anyway i think he is sexy and beautiful its a really long story folks. i hope i can meet another one. I dont date brown skin men, I like a short dark skinned jamaican man. A friend and i were chatting this evening and I kind of decided there are other men that I need to date other than Jamaican. Those men are not good for me. I am 33 years old all I want is a companion that I can relate too.

he would have to be

Rastafari

Black

Short

I know that sounds silly. I haved had sex in one year because of these perameters. ITs good I feel clean. Icant sleep with people who are not the same spirituality as me. So whatever. My exboyfrien had the nerve to run up to me talking about how much he missed me. As I told him I wasnt gonna sleep with him the phone calls stopped. Is this how Jamaican men are. I was just a big walking vagina that he could collect to him? Well whatever.

I would never lie to a guy to get sex from him, I would say look your personality sucks, but I would really like to sleep with you. Or, your not the type of person I could see my self long term with, but I would really enjoy having you in my bed. Whatever enough chatter.

I am no longer interested in Jamaican men…..I will not date outside my race, so I guess this means men from the other islands, its worth a shot. The truth is I am terrified of that! I think the intimacy would be great….my heart is beating fast just thinking about it. Im SCARED……IM DRUNK TOO. …

why Jamaican black men love white women: A black womans perspective

black men are not attracted to black women

black man white woman love

 

If you are hear to read nice “pink fluffy nice” things about why Jamaican black men love white women, you are in the wrong place. If you want the truth, from my perspective, then here it is. One thing I hate to see is a black man giving 20 reasons, negative reasons about black women and why they are so horrible to date. The truth, most of these men, are just not attracted to black women. Many use to be but are no longer after sleeping with a white women, and some of these men were never attracted to black  women to begin with. Please black men, when in a social setting, just say “I prefer to date white women” or something of that nature, but don’t put the black woman down. Every time you do that you put down every black woman in your family too.

black men are intimidated by black women

I think many of the Jamaican black men, or just black men in general who have always dated white women, or women of other nationalities, did so because they were intimidated by black women. Let me put this another way. These black men did not want a woman who was going to make them be accountable for their actions. Therefore they date white women, who may let them off, there for they are able to be disrespectful, liars and abusive without having the woman stand up for her self and say hey…I DONT LIKE YOUR BEHAVIOUR. I know this is not the case for every white woman, but I would say for the white women, that have never dated a black man before…she may have her hands full, with this type of black man.

White women give black men money

Everybody knows white women give black men money. Personally I don’t have a problem with this and I could see how 2 people could end up in this type of relationship. I am not condoning it but I do understand it. The economy is not always so easy for a black woman or a black man. Perhaps a Jamaican black man, or black men in general, date white women as a way of getting a leg up so to speak. Perhaps he is uneducated and in need of some financial help between jobs….a generous nice, understanding white woman just might be the answer!

The media says “the black identity” is ugly

meet rasta black womanThe media tells black men, that they are ugly and that black women are ugly and that white women are beautiful, soft, feminine Queens. What do you think is gonna happen. A black man is going to go for the beautiful soft feminine (white) Queen…naturally! The thing is….I believe…many black men who exclusively date white women…dont know them selves and are not in love with themselves. I can say this because I am so in love with me! I want a man who looks just like me to wake up do every morning. Black! Jamaican! AND Rasta! As I mentioned  in a previous article, if you love yourself, you want somebody just like you.  I am a black Rasta woman,  and I know my knotty hair and dark skin complexion are gorgeous.

Stick it to the white man

I never asked any Jamaican men, or any black Jamaican men this question. I believe some black men date white women just because they can! Perhaps to stick it to the white man. For many years most white women only dated white men, now…the black man is in demand. I feel like the amount of white women who date black men, has grown immensely since say the late 90s. 9 out of 10 black men I see walking down Queen street, on a hot summer day,  who are walking with a woman, are walking beside a white woman. I think being with a white woman is easier for black men in a lot of ways, that’s way I can’t really wrong them…but maybe they do it as a form of rebellion too.

Elevate his social status

Perhaps some black men, date white women because they feel they will be more accepted socially. To anybody with a level head this is going to sound ridiculous, but just think about it. If you feel you are ugly, and you are told subliminally that white is right, and that white is more beautiful, wouldn’t you want to get a piece of that status on your arm. I would! The truth is, black men who date white women for this reason, are not kidding anybody. In everybody elses eyes, you are still black, just now you are black with a white woman on your arm.


 

To get out of Jamaica

Many Jamaican men are dating white women to get out of Jamaica. I believe many white women visit Jamaica for a vacation but end up falling in love. Then the ball just seems to get rolling from there. Next thing you know they are making plans for the Jamaican man to move to America or Canada. This is easier to do with a white women than with a black woman for various reasons. Not all Jamaican men who date white women, are after something. unfortunately you will hear more stories about the bad experiences than the good. Read about some of these stories here.

I dated a white guy, you can’t fool me

You can’t fool me…I dated a white man for 3 years, I know all the dirty little secrets of interracial dating. There is even some I did not mention, or decided to just touch on without going into detail about. Dont be mad, just use this page to start mingling.

I think love is beautiful in general. I love to see a black man and white woman who are together because they love each other, you can feel it. But when I see a white woman who is with a black man because he is black or a black man who is with a white woman because she is white, I feel sad. People should be in love with the person not the skin color. White women leave your contact info here, black men, and Jamaican black men, leave your info here for white women. More love is always good for the world.

Jah Bless, Respect

Rastafari.

Dont think I just made this up, I have a black male friend who told me some of these things him self. I have another black male friend currently dating a white woman who is living proof. If you are hearing of these things for the first time so be it. I guess you were expecting to come here and read some wonderful and glorious things about how wonderful white women are to black men??? Sounds  nice. Have you not heard of all the white women young and old who travel to the caribbean meat a Jamaican man only to have him use them? I didnt say this is the case for all the relationships, but I am hearing these stories left right and center. Sometimes the men leave these women while they are pregnant. There are Jamaican men/white women relationships based on love, and there are those that are not. I wrote this article for people who ask the question (why do black Jamaican men love white women) they now know why.

Rasta beliefs on love/dating/marriage….Just a sneak peak

by

13

Hey guys. As I stated I am writing a book on Rastafari for all of you.  This is my first book, and I have other things to do in my life so I have kind of slowed down on the writing for now. The good news is the rough copy is all done….so I just have to finish the final copy and we are all set. I know many of you wonder what Rastafarians believe on a whole slew of topics, but I wanted to make this post specific on love dating and marriage.

Rasta beliefs on dating non Rastas

rasta love and marriageMany “deep” for lack of better word, Rastafari men and women will not date someone outside of their spiritual beliefs. We understand that this could mean being single for a long time and even maybe forever. We depend on Jah to bring us the right person when the time is right. However, there are some Rasta who are ok with the notion of meeting someone who is not Rasta and then “converting” that person for lack of a better word, into Rastafari. So, like anything else to each his own. You will find more men will date a non Rasta woman, and more Rasta women, will not date a non Rasta man. This is generally speaking. Maybe its all about availability….who knows.

Why do some Rastas like Bob Marley have so many women?

rastafari love and marriageRasta men, are not immune to having multiple relationships with women. But truly I feel they just have too much love in their hearts. This is gonna get me in trouble….Most Rastafari men I would say 95% are faithful, and 5 percent not so faithful. This is for various reasons. Bob Marley was a very good-looking superstar, and he was Rastafari. Many women were attracted to him and I’m sure him attracted to them. What I am getting at is this for some men of Rastafari they have many women at one time because the women allow it. On the other hand there are Rastafari men who just don’t believe in sleeping around at all. In fact most of us “Jamaican Ras” operate in this manner. People get away with what they can folks…bottom line.

Do Rastas believe in true love?

Rastas believe big time in true love. We do believe that true love is possible, and when we love we love with all our hearts. For someone who is not ready for this type of love, they may feel undeserving, or “smothered” Rastas get into a relationship intending to stay there, most of us, for the most part. Love is one of the things we live for. With love, food tastes better, life looks brighter, and we can be mentally clearer. Romantic love is an essential part of human life. As an earthly being we have earthly needs. Love and affection are paramount to a person of Rastafari spirituality.


How can I make my Rasta King love me more?

Many women have put comments regarding their relationship wondering, is he truthful? Is he sleeping around? Things of this nature. Perhaps if you feel the need to ask these questions, he is not the one for you. If your man is clearly accessible and perhaps you want to deepen the bond the two of you have as a non Rastafari woman, trust him, and believe what he tells you about “Jah” and about life. Eat how he eats, live how he lives, love him how he loves you and respect it. Your Rasta King will greatly appreciate this. And when you do this and he wants to touch you passionately, you can thank me in the comments….lol

Rasta beliefs on Marriage

Truth is ladies, we Rastas don’t really believe in marriage. That is not to say we wont do it. Just most of us don’t make a big deal out of it. We believe the relationship is the marriage, and like marriage if we no longer want to be in the relationship we will leave. We also believe marriage doesn’t come with any gaurantees…just because you are married it doesn’t mean the person will love you for ever. We believe in letting love just be what it’s going to be and that a piece of paper isn’t all that important when it comes to matters of the heart. The support, the communication, being reliable, and being each others best friend is what a relationship should be all about. Put your heart in it and it will be great. This is what we Rasta believe about marriage.  This post is very short. perhaps I will writ more another time. Thanks for reading. Bye  for now.

Do Rasta believe in getting having children and settling down?

 

We Ras live for this type of relationship. To settle down and have a family is every single rasta dream. However we know sometimes Jah wants us to stay clear and clean for his own reasons. We accept the single life and embrace it just the same we would our committed relationship. A Rasta in a long-term relationship, typically is a happy one. We love to do things for our partners and for a children, because we see God in our partners and our children. Please visit my new forum if you are looking for information on Rasta dating, or post your own profile seeking love. Blessed Love. Rastafari is the truth every time!

What does it mean to be Rastafari? Are we Racists?

by

I knew I would eventually write this post. I was just waiting for a time when I felt healed enough to do it. I will explain.

My Rasta X – Boyfriend – Well maybe not so Rasta

About 8 weeks ago I met someone who dressed and looked as if he practiced the same faith as me. We met on the bus and were instantly attracted to eachother. Ok well I am exaggertating a little bit. I did meet him on the bus about 2 years ago and we chatted briefly about various things related to the black community. I ran into him twice in this fasion. At those times, he had no dreadlocks, and did not sport red yellow and green. I too did not have my locks and did not wear red yellow and green. So, 2 years later there we were on the bus, both Rasta – I thought. We chatted and he invited me to his house. I was more than excited, I knew I wanted to be intimate with him, as I had not been with a man in a very long time and vowed to be intimate with a man only of Rastafari spirituality. Now I know this sounds very fast on my part, however I was not with a man for  A VERY LONG TIME, and in the rastafari community between two Rastafarians, there no such thing as “too fast” only love.  So, we planned for me to go to his house the next day, there our court ship began. From day one things were way far from what they should have been to start a healthy relationship.

  • He took his socks off while I was there - Rastafarians have a huge amount of respect for other people, I was offended by this but it was his house, so maybe this was more my fault than his. He didnt even think to ask me if that was ok. Nobody wants to see there dates feet on the first date I am sure
  • He didnt get the same vibe from the music as me - Any true Rastaman knows, the vibe of Rastafari is in the music. He just didnt get it
  • He asked me if I wanted to go lay down in the room- I thought again that was impolite
  • He lectured me extensively on the life of Emperor Haille Selassie - This was rude because he is assuming that I dont already know, and second, that I wanted to hear what he had to say on the matter
  • His breath was not nice – For goodness sakes when a woman comes over, must you smoke weed and be in need of breath mint.

No, I did not sleep with him that day

My Beliefs about Rastafari are simple and private

So, silly me, being so desperate to be intimate with a man of the same spiritual beliefs as me. I went over a second time. I wasnt sure if I wanted to have sex or not. I kind of got the feeling that if I did, that was as good as it was going to get between us. I could sense that we had very little in common and obviously approached the whole spirituality thing in different ways. I believe that Rastafari is something of the heart, that goes with me everywhere I go. He believe that Rastafari is Emperor Haille Selassie, and if you dont know as much as him about Emperor Haile Selassie, then you are not Rasta. So sad, if he only knew the truth. I explained to him that my spiritual beliefs have been there since I was born, and that I was choosing to express it now. So he could try his best to convince me to see things his way as much as he wants. I also believe Rastafari is not something you force on others. If you are thats great, but you definetly dont go around forcing people to believe what you believe, and Rasta dont behave like that. I also told him that Rasta are calm patient and down to earth. One day he went on to yell at me, and tell me “I will die for my beliefs” I thought that was going to far. I felt like I was part of a fundametalist camp or cult, the more I listened to this man talk about Rastafari.
As I am reading this I realized that I new he wasnt like me but I somehow felt better sleeping with him with him calling him self this title, even thoug I knew he wasnt.

What the psychic told me before I met him

I was going through a very hard time emotionally about 2 weeks before I met this man. I was praying to God to please let me meet a psychic. Long story short I did meet a psychic and we became friends. Anyway I asked will I meet a man, she said yes. I said “is he Rasta?” She said “no” but “he has dreadlocks, and grew up learning about the Rasta way of life.” I said “what?, a guy with dreadlocks who is not Rasta? Oh, no it would be better to say he doesnt weart dreadlocks but you are telling me he wears dreadlocks but is not Rasta?” Then she said he is, then I said what? Is he or isnt he? she said hes not. This was on my mind still like an hour later. I wasnt taking what she was saying that seriously but if this guy has locks and is not Rasta then that would make him a fake rasta. So I decided to ask her one more time. Is he a rasta or isnt he…..(understand something folks, Rastafari is something that comes from the heart, its like being psychic so me asking her to tell me the accurate truth is like me asking her to look deep into the heart of this man she says is somewhere in my future) she said “hes not!” I asked her 3 more times she said again “he not!! So, I accepted feeling that someone who knows about Rastafari will accept me. And that was that.

I told him what the psychic said

After the first time I went over to his house, we talked on the phone quite a few times. I told him that I had a psychic friend and that she told me I was going to meet a Rastafari man who had dreadlocks but was not Rasta. He said, I dont like this lady.

Where do my Rastafari Beliefs come from when my parents are not Rasta

My Rastafari beliefs come from the most high, even though I know rules and dont follow them to a T I still know who I am. Remember its like being born psychic, you just are. Another cannot come and tell you that because you dont live as one that you are not one. You just are or you are not. Rastafari has always been in my heart, and always will be.

The 5 main values of Rastafari

  • Gods word and the bible before all
  • Love of African black people and the beauty of natural black people
  • natural living including vegitarianism
  • Respect and love of all lifeforms including plants and animals
  • Love first in all dealings and relations with all life forms
  • If any TRUE Rastafari men or women read this please tell me in 5 points what Rastafari means to you, I would love to read it.

If you really want to know, Jesus was Rastafari, ask any born Rasta

Any true Rasta will tell you that Jesus of the bible is a Rasta, for sure, there is no doubt in my mind. Everything that we Rasta have been through. Jesus went through. God decided Jesus would be jesus before his conception, jesus spoke of god as a teen, jesus healed people, jesus prayed, jesus was vegitarian. The list goes on but most of these are very private and personal for me…but please ask a born Rasta if you want confirmation. Not someone who said they became Rasta at 25. Most Rastas know when they are children or in their teens that they are Rasta and dont express it till much later.

So what was the final draw between this non Rastaman and my self?

He threw garlic at me, and called me a devil worshipper, not because I talked to a psychic, but because the psychic was white. Thats just stupid, and we are not Racist, we have a love for all humanity. Bob Marley was half white, so I guess this jerk hates half of Bob Marley. So, dumb. ….Any comments….leave them at the bottom

Junior Kelly sings Rasta Should Be Deeper

Here is just some of the lines from the song “deeper-rasta should be deeper” by Junior Kelly

  • “you must care about the people”
  • “I am my brothers keeper”
  • “its like their changing everything that Rasta is all about”
  • “true love, positivity…”
  • “much much more than to say “Selassi” and “Marcus I”
  • “Me nuh do dis fi image, me nuh mimic, me nuh do dis fi fame”

My new Astrology Readings Website – By a Rastafari Woman

My new Astrology Readings Website!

I have a new astrology readings website. Yay! I have been using astrology in my own life for over 14 years and love to do readings for my self and others. In my own astrological birth chart My Jupiter ( planet of expansion, abundance and luck) sits on the degree of “the astrologer. I figure it’s about time, for me to share this unique talent with others. Rastafari is the everlasting love of my heart, astrology readings are my personal gift to the universe.  Oh yeah my new website is http://yuajahastrologyreadings.blogspot.com

My first experience with astrology at age 16

You may be wondering, How did you ever get into this “astrology readings” thing in the first place. Well, when I was 16 years old, I wasnt feeling so well and had to spend the evening at home. My mom took me to the drug store, and at the check out counter were some books on all the zodiac signs. I picked up the book on my zodiac, paid for it and brought it home. I laid down in bed and began reading that book. I remember thinking, wow this is so accurate, it described me to “a T” and as they say, the rest is history.

My addiction to astrology books

Since that first experience I began to collect books on astrology. All these books gave me different perspectives on the planets, how to do readings, and the meanings of the zodiac signs. The very best books on astrology I ever came across were found in the Montreal public library. Those books had history, and information, and had barely been used. One book in particular called “The round Arc” of Astrology, provided me with the most detailed intelligent information about astrology. This is a reference library so this book did not become part of my collection. Anybody that knows me knows astrology is my first love, and I cannot help but talk about it.

I started learning about the planets through life experiences

I bought astrological software when I was about 22 years old. To be honest when I first got it I didn’t know what to do with it, and I am one of those people who, doesn’t like to read instructions, so for the first few months I just played around with it. Clicking here clicking there. Then I started to look at my own chart and look up the meaning of the location of the planets in my own chart, in the many astrology books I had. This helped me a lot to be able to actually read my birth chart and astrological transits. Now, I know pretty much immediately what the planets mean in a particular house. Every now and then I do look up meanings just to be sure, I still got it…lol

Astrology is my heart and I want to share this knowledge with others

For many years I have been helping friends to figure out the personalities and characteristics of potential boyfriends before they actually dated them. Astrology is a tool. Like anything else, it is not intended for you to put all your hopes into the answers it provides, it is more like a guide, used to inspire you and let you know what opportunities you could be taking advantage of. Astrology has become a part of who I am, and now I want to share this tool (astrology readings) with others.

The zodiac signs and their Characteristics

Studying the zodiac signs has been a lot of fun for me. A wise person once said even the best teacher continues to be a student. I continue to learn about the zodiac even after 14 years of study. Its fun and seems to please something inside of me. Maybe my desire to understand the human mind, maybe my need to learn about something that is fun fascinating and helpful. Or maybe I am fascinated by the fact that astrology really does help us to understand another persons characteristics and personality traits. I started my www.zodiaccharacteristicsastrologywebsite.com before I started this one. It wasnt easy, but it was well worth it. You can check it out if you are curious to know more.

here is a brief description of some of the information you will find there….

  • Aries are fun, friendly and self starters
  • Taurus, is stable, helpful and caring
  • Gemini, Gemini is chatty, aloof, and make great best friends
  • Cancer are fun, funny, and love the domestic life and place family first

I provide spiritual Guidance through Astrology

The main reason why I have decided to do astrology readings professionally (http://yuajahastrologyservices.blogspot.com ) Is because life can throw anybody a curve ball, or have you questioning whether or not you are on the right track. Sometimes we just need some answers to some very important questions, or some encourage ment, to help us achieve our goals. So, if you are feeling unsure about something and want some answers, or perhaps you just want a little guidance, perhaps I can help. There is a different type of astrology reading for just about anything. A move, taking a new job, new love, marriage, love affairs, money and finances, luck and gambling,  all kinds of things. So, if you want answer contact me through my website. http://yuajahastrologyservices.blogspot.com

My Rastafari beliefs and astrology readings

My Rastafarian spirituality helps me to do my readings with integrity and honesty. I focus on the positive as much as possible in my readings. If I see something that is not so positive, I will mention it to my client, but be sure not to make it my focus. Rastafari is about love, respect, honesty, and appreciation among other things. Therefore my goal is to treat my clients the way that I would want to be treated in a reading.

Dating outside your race / interracial dating…a form of self hate??

Is dating outside your Race a form of self hate? I began to wonder about this after I watched a video on YouTube, on a talk show, about white women who say they can “please a black man, better than a black woman can.” There was one guest who came on and said “…you don’t date your own kind because you hate your self, if you loved your self, you would want somebody just like you…” That got me thinking…

Black men dating white women has become the latest fad in my town

More and more african american men are opting to date white women. Is it self hate? is it status?..is it because he thinks it makes him “more acceptable” to whites? Perhaps all of the above. Perhaps none of the above. Maybe some black men are dating white women because this is who they have fallen in love with, and her color is irrelevant.

I think any kind of “exclusive” dating is “hate and racism”, and prejudgment. To assume that you wont like a person, or that you can’t see your self having sex with a certain group, or excluding one group completely as a “no dating” group – this is a form of hate. If you do this to a race that happens to be your own…then yes this is self hate…I know because I have thought this way in the past.

Why is it more acceptable for a black woman to date a white?

It seems to be more accepted as “love” when a black woman and a white man are dating, but not if the man is black and the woman is white. Why? Could it be that the black woman, is seen as “being given a better opportunity” or that white men are seen as “more capable” of true love,  therefore it must be a true relationship. I wonder.

black women dating asian men

I have noticed a lot more asian men with black women now a days…is this the latest fad for single black women dating? As a Rastafarian woman, I believe you should be with whoever you love. I mean really love. Not the type of love that is here today and gone tomorrow because someone gains a few inches in the middle section. Real love doesn’t notice weight gain, or other little silly things that people often say is the reason they fell out of love. If an asian man and a black woman truly love each other, then nothing and no body should stop them from being together.

So is dating outside your race a form of self hate?

It can be, if you are dating the other person to ignore  who you are or to avoid your own heritage, culture, or ethnicity. It can be if you hate one or both of your parents and have vowed consciously or unconsciously not to have children of your culture / race. It can be if you can’t call your self your ethnicity out loud and say ” I am ______ and I am proud!” and mean it. Dating outside your race is not always a form of self hate, but it can be if you are doing it for the wrong reasons.

Thanks for reading my thoughts have a pleasant evening.
