Christafari Responds:
Robert I hope that what you are stating is true. If
anything it is probably that we are not from Jamaica,
however I hope that this is not the case either. I would
like to think that every on on the rmr judges music
objectivly according to how it sounds.

"For a long time on this group, the word was
that Christafari was passing out
anti-Selassie/anti-Rasta literature at the Sunpslash
shows."
Christafari Responds:
This is fiction. No Christafari member has ever
handed out anti-Selassie/anti-Rasta literature at any
Sunpslash show.

"Also, someone recently told me that he saw
Christafari on one of the religious cable channels
talking about what a badman Selassie was: killing his
people and starving them too."
Christafari Responds:
Yes we were on the Pat Boone show, and on a live
concert at the nations capitol called "Washington
for Jesus." However, on both of these shows all
that we did was perform. We were also featured on the
700 club, TBN and CNN, however the subject was Sunsplash
and reggae music. I have all of these shows on tape and
after just recently watching them again, I can
personally guarantee that neither of those statements
were said. I know that this may be hard to understand
but one of the foundations on which we stand is the
Godly life and example of Selassie as the defender of
the Ethiopian Orthodox faith. As a Christian, we praise
whom he praised. With this in mind I think that you
would find that it would be to our disadvantage to ruin
or tear down his credibility by such statements.

"Now what's the real deal on this, from your
mouth, Mark. Is there any validity to these statements?
Christafari Responds:
None Whatsoever.

"If you care to comment, either way it should
finally give people at least peace of mind, pro or con,
about this whole issue.
Thanks Robert"
Christafari Responds:
Thank you for your questions and concerns. I am glad
to clear these things up for you. I would hate for
anyone to think these things about us. I hope that I
have answered all of these questions to your
satisfaction. You have my word with God as my witness
that what I have said is true.
Thanks Jah bless, Jah Guide, Jah Protect, Jah Provide
