PS For those who really wanna know:
'Tafari' was the Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie's name before he became Emperor...And 'Ras' is an Amharic {Ethiopian] title similar to the English nobility title "Lord" {though it is now most often translated as 'Prince'}.

Without his prior knowledge or real support, the 'Rastafarians' considered [consider] Haile Selassie to be the embodiment of God.

They also considered [consider] Ethiopia to be the homeland of all Black people in the 'New World' of the Caribbean & the USA.

And for you fellow collectors of bits & pieces of info:
the contemporary nation of Ethiopia was actually just a province of ancient Ethiopia and ancient Rthiopia=the modern day nation of The Sudan ..
