The Rasta movement is often seen as a local variant of the great hippie wave which took place in the Western world during the 1970s. The rasta message finds himself seen as a manifestation of love and universal peace, as advocated by hippies.Although fundamentally a message of peace and love, the message Rasta can not possibly be summed up by themselves. Indeed, the Rasta movement is primarily a movement of emancipation of consciences, and especially to denounce the excesses of a system. Just as reggae music is a rebel, as sung by Bob Marley, the Rasta message is primarily a message of rupture and spiritual rebellion.If this spiritual rebellion is often regarded as a form of peaceful action like the movements of Gandhi or Martin Luther King, this is not true in general. Peter Tosh, often called the Malcolm X Rasta, he not only noted that everyone wants peace when no one wants to see justice done? ("Everyone is crying out for peace, None is crying out for justice" - Equal Rights, 1977).Finally, the Rastas have a strong attachment to the sacred texts, meditation and religion are always looking to get closer to the ancestral link between them to Africa and their origins. In particular, consideration of women and homosexuals is approached from a male chauvinist and homophobic respectively.This is not to see Rastas dangerous rebels willing to take up arms to destroy modern society under obscurantist values, because it is not the case. The Rastafarians are mostly peaceful people. Simply, and the music makes clear, the message Rasta is closer to a universal message of peace as a message of resistance, such as reggae is closer to that of progressive rock punk ...The "Rastas" have nothing to do with "Rastafarianism "!!!... far away!
