		<description>On the subject of Racism, Caste Systems, Class Systems and the like I would like to Quote from My favourite Speech by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Sellassie I RASTAFAR I that I wanted to share with all...


Excerpt from the &quot;Will and Determination&quot; Speech by
His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Sellassie I RASTAFAR I
Emperor of Ethiopia Elect of God
California 28th February 1968 -

Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior
is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, that until there are no longer first class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man&#039;s skin is of no more significance
than the colour of his eyes, that until their basic human rights
are equally guaranteed to all, without regard to race that until
that day, the dream of lasting peace world citizenship and the
rule of International morality will remain in but a fleeting illusion
to be pursued, but never attained.


&quot;Will and Determination&quot; Speech by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Sellassie I Rastafar I has also been turned into the song called &quot;WAR&quot; by Bob Marley from the Babylon By Bus CD, my Favourite Bob Marley Song Ever. Highly Recommend a listen! One Love

Copyright Belongs To Therlow Tsagazahab Snape - Master of Lyrics - Founder of Connecting Routes (C)

&quot;CONFERENCE&quot; - written and sung by Tsagazahab (c)

&quot;Conference&quot;

Calling on a Conference with all the leaders of the world

Calling on a Conference Man, Woman Boy and Girl

Calling on a Conference for Justice and Liberty yeah

Calling on a Conference on behalf of humanity

Well, all the leaders of the world seem they

want to be the Boss

Not to give or Care Redistribute and share but to gain at any cost and

Most of them Countries are fighting within when their leaders are killing their own

And there&#039;s one thing to right it, It&#039;s right in their sight is to all have a common goal.

We are living in a world, where the people they&#039;ve got to be free

And the only Government they need is one in humanity,where all the people of the

Earth can know the sweet beauty of life and be rid of intent to misrepresent

&#039;Cause we know that it&#039;s not right, Conference with all the leaders of the world

Yeah calling on a Conference Man, Woman, Boy and Girl

Calling on a Conference for Justice and Liberty yeah

Calling on a Conference on behalf of humanity..................................................

Conference............................................. Calling...............................................

Calling..............................................

Now we all know that Poverty doesn&#039;t hold any prejudice

Confusion and Shame, Hunger and Pain

Only know about Selfishness

And the way was given to Man you understand to elect a Leader that&#039;s true

To manage maintain increasing our name and this is what he must do for you

We are living in a time where the people bursting to be free

And the only Government they need is one rich in humanity

Then all our children of the Earth can know the sweet beauty of life

And be rid of intent to misrepresent &#039;Cause we know that it&#039;s not right,

Right, Conference with all the Leaders of the World Yeah

Calling on a Conference Man, Woman, Boy and Girl

Calling on a Conference for Justice and Liberty, yeah

Calling on a Conference, People

Rasta don&#039;t come in disguise

		<description>Dear Arvind

I have read with interest your thoughts on the Big Brother events this week.

I agree that it is important to have debates on subjects such as racism, which does exist whether we like it or not, and often simply due to prejudices and simple ignorance.

Having watched all the episodes this week, and in particular the episode tonight, I do wonder whether the whole thing has been very cleverly manipulated by the producers of Big Brither. We see now that Jade has seen the error of her ways, that Shilpa has forgiven her thoughtless comments, and that now Jade is genuinely in fear for her fate when she leaves the house later tonight.

They say they have both learnt from this experience, and I wonder, have others? The trouble is that so many of us are so quick to judge...I found myself judging Jade pretty harshly when she lost her temper and iterated a tirade of abuse towards Shilpa, not neccessarily racist, but certainly very offensive. But Shilpa herself then reminded us of the difficult life Jade may have had in the past - there are always reasons for the way we behave, and it is in the end our behaviour that alwasy seems to get us judged and into trouble, rather than who we realy are. I don&#039;t beleive Jade is a bad person, I don&#039;t believe Channel 4 were wrong to let this continue, they have suffered themselves through loss of sponsorship, but I think having seen this almost through to the end result (Jade being evicted), that lessons could well have been learnt all round. This is, in the end, the remit for Channel 4, to be representative of the minority and to challenge beliefs and raise issues for debate. In this case I wonder whether they have actually represented not the minority, but the silent majority - those of us who judge others in the safety of our own homes.

One of the positive things I hope to do this year is to stop judging others, and to learn to listen more for the true messages.

Thank you for the opportunity to express my thoughts.</description>
