Actually you can wear whatever the fuck you want, regardless of reasoning. If you want to wear some rasta colors, wear some rasta colors. I personally think there's a limit though, seeing someone dressed head to foot in rasta clothing is almost as bad as seeing someone with their jeans to their ankles and their ass hanging out
Yes, you can wear Rasta colors. The Rastafari don't have anymore claim over those colors than anybody. They just happen to use them. You can too. Symbols are what you make of them.
I almost wanna buy a rasta colored shirt now just because you said that..know why? Cause I fuckin can
if das how yall feel den go ahead n deck out in rasta color but im jus sayin sum people be fake bout it.. there more meanin to it den jus bein sum colors but i ain gone judge cuz i still wear my colors wid pride... it jus makes me mad wen people think the colors is jus bout smokin weed or sumthin ya kno... but me nah guh argue... im jus sayin its not cool to wear it jus cuz u smk weed or w/e.. its a culture or way of life.. its tht ignorence jus cuz he say tht im gunna wear it attitude tht gets me ya kno... its not jus colors there is a serious meaning behind the colors jus respect the colors n errting will be cool.. RESPECT seen... im not sayin u cant wear it jus if u do wear it wit pride knowin the meaning behind it n not jus cuz u smk weed ya kno cuz thts not wut its bout
Please stop typing like that. We understand you're from the islands, but having to read through your posts typed like that is just laborious. Everybody can understand you better if you type in proper English. I sound like a ghetto Jew, and if I typed the way my voice sounds nobody would understand my posts. You feel me? Not ragging on you, it'll just make it easier for people to take you seriously.
i think we can all agree that the world pretty much revolves around the rasta colors, i guess were all rasta at heart?? RED GOLD AND GREEN, BLOOD OF EVERY LIVING CREATURE, THE EARTH WE WALK ON, AND ALL OF THE TREASURES WE CHERISH...we all feel a special connection to these three things...anyone disagree with that?
GOLD= SUN though imho... but i agree with the afforementioned... with both sides of the "argument" or discussion... 2 me its all about the person u are... u should have at least a general understanding of what you advocate and the messages which represent u through symbols on clothing.... i guess this can even be a reflection of how u approach life and how important you consider your existence... some dont take life that serious, or themselves really 4 that matter... so they may just follow ever-changing trends... but sum ppl. endorse views/perspectives through their clothing style and the symbols they wear... the media seems many times to turn real struggles and events in history past&present (& the symbols that represnt them) into caricatures or exaggerations that distort those images,events, figures, symbols, which devalues their importance and reduces it in the eyes of the mass public to merely popular culture or trend, or reggae, or dread, rastas... though improbable by 2days standards (ego=good/success), i would think u would want to know the real meaning of the symbols that u represent and represent u when u wear them... i would hope most would want to be taken seriously and seen as a credible person...not another ignorant follower... or.... i guess since u must walk in line, ur gonna have to follow sum ass along the way, right..? WE have the right 2 wear whatever we pleez, and be apathetic and culturally/historically ignorant of the symbols we promote though they have direct correlations to modern-day struggles!!! Yay!!?!!
If I can walk around in drag, then why can't you wear rasta colours? Keep in mind that you'll be telling the world your a toker with your rags, might not be an issue but some like to keep their private shit private.
its just colors man.... u dont ask if i can wear any other color so wats the big deal its just clothes ur paying for them so y should someone give u permission to spend ur own money........... DUMB QUESTION OP..
I'm not trying to make fun of Solja, but this shit gets me everytime.... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWBcjZAKBJo]YouTube - Half baked "Mr. Nice Guy"[/ame]
Hahaha nice. I mean, I'm not trying to make fun of him either (as I said), it's just incredibly hard to read his posts...and I would like to read his posts, because it seems that he has a differing opinion about this than the rest of us in this thread, perhaps because he's Rastafari? I'm unsure.
