I wish op didn't leave so soon. I was kind of enjoying the idea of having a resident black supremisist.
hmm probably because when white men dance they never pick their feet up and just move their hips. Therefore they're "hippies?" Bad joke but I just couldn't resist
Then they would be wrong in doing so. Rastafarianism is a very strict religion. A lot different than a hippy
it's not the same as having MAMA AFRICA around, but we can compensate for her absence adding a comment to every thread trash talking whitey
Perhaps they are. However, the correct name for the religion is Rastafari, the term rastafarianism is considered rude and disrespectful. It's like saying Christianism or Buddistianity.
Black people always intimidate me, so I won't let them into my hippie circle. I have on occasion let an Asian person in though, but only if they aren't a ninja.
Plenty of African immigrants are here, they are too busy earning the coin and fighting to build their small business to engage in hippie vanity. These guys have two strikes already, being black, and speaking non-standard English. they are focused on commerce. they deserve our respect and our business support as customers. Some are lonely for family back home and have to pay high cost $$ to phone home or to fly back home to see family. They are here to sieze opportunity which may be lacking back home.
Whites have something of value to drop out from. Blacks are still trying to catch up economically, so why would they drop out of poverty--to poverty?
The hippie movement was descendent from the Beat Generation of writers and intellectuals from Columbia University. The hippies began in the colleges and Universities and moved out into the general population latter. At the time, the mid sixties, there were far fewer blacks at the college and university level then there are now. There was less racial integration, and so not as much opportunity for blacks to be exposed to the hippie philosophy. When I entered college in 1969 there was a small (percentage wise) close knit "family" of hippie type people residing in one or two houses and scattered about the area. I knew two blacks at the time that I would have called "hippies'. Most were "normal" and a large percent were in a Black Panther leaning organization.
