The phrase you're looking for is either "jury-rigged" or "jerry-built".
@@patavinity1262 Jerry-rigged is a completely valid phrase. Language is defined by its use, and many more people use jerry-rigged than those other phrases.
@@AmeriChrisTheMage Usage is nothing more than a majority of speakers choosing to say one thing over another. Since the majority of people are stupid and don't think about what they say or don't know better, when it comes to a question of style, the fact that phrase A is more common than phrase B is completely irrelevant. That line of thought simply comes down to: the majority think this way, therefore it must be right. If you aren't a complete moron, you should be able to realize that's bullshit. Using language the way others use it requires only imitation. Using language correctly, meaningfully, comes down to such things as sensibility and logic. Besides which, I don't believe you're even right in asserting that "jerry-rigged" is more widespread. *You* might think it is, but that doesn't make it so.
"They may have been God's children, but they weren't the first born. They would never inherit the family farm." You certainly have a way with words.
@DECORUM DECORATIVE FINDS-- Now we know that the first beings we can consider humans actually DID come from Africa and must have had dark skin. To me, a wishy-washy agnostic/atheist, that would mean that god's first child, made in his image, actually _was_ a dark-skinned African. All those white preachers they forced the enslaved African people to listen to were *wrong.* The person who should be considered god's first son was a woman we call Lucy.
@@calichef1962 But Lucy wasn't the FIRST, was she? She's simply the first one we know of.
calichef1962 Nope. Lucy isn’t even human. She is an Australopithecus Afarensis. This means that her species is either the ancestor of all humans or relatives of the ancestors of all humans. And by human I mean homo. That’s right. Like us, Homo sapiens sapiens. But even then, some Homo species aren’t exactly humans. Those we can certainly call humans are the subspecies of Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens sapiens (us), Homo sapiens neanderthalensis (Neanderthals) and Homo Sapiens Denisova. They looked similar to us, interbred with us and were just as smart. Btw Lucy isn’t even the oldest human ancestor or relative found. Just the most famous.
Aathish Sivasubrahmanian Lucy isn’t the oldest one we know of. She’s just the most famous. And wether she can be classified as human is unlikely. She isn’t even a member of the genus Homo.

His Palace was turned to Addis Ababa University open for all African students, the first 200 being Ghanians. Formed and open AU, tried to have one military for Africa, sent military support to Congo, Mau Mau's fights trained Mandela and hundreds of PAC and ANC youth..Sent military aide to WS Republic and stopped the war in Mahgreb...I can name thousand ways he tried to instil pan Africanism, even the fact there are 5 African teams at the world cup was his influence and persistence with Yidnekachew. It can not be said he didn't want African unity. The fact that he tried too much for that and being away for a long periods of time was the end of him...
They don't call it Rastafarianism. The Rastafari don't believe in any '-isms' It is strictly referred to as Rastafari.
Agree
“However, "Rastafarianism" is considered offensive by most Rastafari, who, being critical of "isms" or "ians" (which they see as a typical part of "Babylon" culture), dislike being labelled as an "ism" or "ian" themselves.[15] Cashmore urged fellow academics not to use this term, which he described as "insensitive".[16]”
Skrooge Lantay I hear ya there.
I an I already know that dog.
Just because thats what they believe doesn't mean its not an ism.
I never felt stranger about my own country history the way I felt when I meet Rasta's outside Ethiopia, which helps me to question all God's.
We JAH people will not look anywhere but to Selassie the first and the last to seat on the throne of King David. the biblical prophecy of Deliverance from slavery by GOD is in Jeremiah 23v1-8,daniel 7v9-14 psalms 68v31-35,16,praises and many more. The Bible prophecies a King from the linage of King David refered to as the branch will be crowned and deliverance of slaves from the slave master will take place, and this is the way He will be called, the LORD our righteousness. So if rastas want GOD they we should at all times look to Haile Selassie the first and the last to seat on the throne of King David as the Lion of Judah and the light of this World, because GOD is Light, the king of kings and the Lord of lords.
Ok just to throw this out here, Ethiopia was Christian long before Europe was... askum was the first Christian empire. This is just information do with it what you want
Yep. I made an entire video on it, released a few weeks ago.
So?

@@decafjava8565 I'd be surprised if he actually provided proof for his claims lol
Ethiopia and Armenia are one of the first few nation's to convert to Christ. It is some what argued that in the book of Phillp an Ethiopian eunuch baptized himself during that time period of the gospel. From Lilabela to the strong prosteant/orthodox faith of Christianity held within Ethiopia, in particular Habeshas, Ethiopia is arguably more "Western" than "African" culturally. Christianity helped cement Ethiopias status in the world more than any other influence ever could. Either way I wanted to say hi Gameboy ! It's good to see ya again
My previous knowledge of Marcus Garvey was from the sci-fi novel Neuromancer by William Gibson which featured a space tug named after him that was crewed by Rastafarians.
Well, I had already considered reading neuromancer in the past but now I definitely will Edit: Started it and it's fantastic
My _first_ knowledge of him came from the song Towers of Dub, by The Orb.
@Dan Severns that's how i know about him too
@@nedisahonkey Remember to read the other two books in that trilogy as well: Count Zero, and The Mona Lisa Overdrive. I would also recommend the short story collection Burning Chrome, which contains 3 stories set in the same universe, but taking place before the events in the trilogy, one of which you may have already heard of: Johnny Mnemonic.

9:55 you are wrong, most Africans not only Ethiopians still remember him for Pan-African ism. He was not perfect but still a great leader at the time. He help established AU and helped many African leaders to gain independent.
Now I'm curious what the fugitive from Burundi did.
Ikr
If i had to guess probably robbed him or something similar. Might not be eager to revisit it
What DIDN'T he do?? I have no idea.
I remember him, when my family was in Addis Ababa (my father was in the US Army and was stationed there) in 1973. We were there for about 8 months until murmurs of the Coup to overthrow Haile Selassie forced the US to first evacuate US families, then the Army base in Addis Ababa.

This video proves that this is why you never let your downppressor / enemy tell you your story
Bless up !
Thos guys doesn't know a thing about true history... Yet alome about the depths of Rastafari...
It's worth noting that at the time Jamaicans chose to pledge allegiance to a black king they were expected to pledge allegiance to a British monarch in terms we don't think about in the same way today. I think it was (and is) as much about political rebellion as religious rebellion. In fact I would say that there are many more shared political goals than religious ones among the Rastafari.
innocent_fugitive it was indeed a political move as well
@Richard Ainsworth >missing the point this hard Jesus, erm, Silasi.
@ ....what part of that statement relies on us being Jamaicans, or on him liking Jamaicans for that matter? If anything I'm sure Edward Vth disliked them more than Silasi did.
@TheCrazyKid1381 And where the hell did I claim he was a god?
Jamaica didn't choose to pledge allegiance to Emperor Sellasie! Rastafarian is not the majority belief in Jamaica.
If more people from the western world knew the true history of Africa, especially Ethiopia, I don't think we would be in the situation we are, I got interested in mid teens, thru reggae, & researched the whole history thoroughly, changed my outlook on people & the world for ever 🙏💚💛❤️🏴✌️

Haile Selassie never regarded himself as God, nor did he adhere to Rastafari. Rastafarians regard Haile Selassie I asGod because Marcus Garvey's prophecy - "Look to Africa where a black king shall be crowned, he shall be the Redeemer" - was swiftly followed by the ascension of Haile Selassie as Emperor of Ethiopia.
Isn't there something "Life of Brian" about the whole thing?
That's what the video says, yes.
Prophetically a John the Baptist. Who later betrayed......ehm
Haile Selassie 1 and His legacy is for the individual (irrespective of race or religion) to decipher who He is. In 1956 (approx), a very presumptuous young journalist in Jamaica asked H. I. Majesty "When do you plan to tell the rastas that you're not God". His Majesty's response was "Why should I deny there faith". The big paradox is 72 nations (02.11.1930) was witnessed and collectively agreed that He is The Almighty Creator. To believe that He only came for the disenfranchised blacks would be disingenuous. He bears the highest office that could ever be attained by a human being, 'King of Kings and Lord of Lords' (Rev 19 - 20). Will you also "hide your face and run"?....He is beginning and the end. Bless
You're very misinformed.
Your rebuttal is too simplistic; void of intellectual reasoning. My thesis is scientifically sound and correct based upon the ancient scrolls. The outcomes are visible and have been made manifest. It's quite a paradox that "the conquering lion" ended up being the most decorated statesman in human history....Am I misinformed about this too?....ref: Ethiopia Shall Stretch Forth Her Hands Unto God - Gregory Copley (Copley is an Australian geopoliticist in Middle Eastern/African affairs).....who else but God Himself could be so loved by so many countries. Do you know of any other biblical monarch to have visited the Vatican?....(1970....watch the footage on KZhead. A 12 year old would easily deduce that the discourse was one of "loving rebuke"....none shall, or can, escape from the "terror of truth". Evidence of the "only true and living" God......this msg "will" affect your live forever. He expects you (and others) to recognize Him. If you "judge" righteously with equity upon its own merits you will definitely recognize "your" Creator.
Selassie came to Jamaica in 1963. Hundreds of Rastas came to meet him at the airport, when he looked out the window and saw them, he was so scared, because he had never heard of them before. His little granddaughter was crying He refused to get out of the plane and Jamaican officials had to go on the plane and explain who they were and he told them he was no God, and when he got off the plane, he talked to the rastas explaining that he was not God They didn't listen and are still worshiping him today
👑🌍💍💄👠💅👄❤
,1966..thousands of rastas.
Stupidity!!!!
Fact 👍
Your story has some inaccuracies.
A black African king of independent Ethiopia refused help by the Europeans in the war that the pope of Rome blessed the bombs that killed Ethiopians. Why should Haile Selassie 1st blaspheme himself and say that he is God. All that Christ came to do was to fulfill the law what was written of him before his coming .He spoke Amharic, was head of the EOC, was of a Cushitic Semitic union, Ethiopia never colonized it was the land where God choose to dwell, only leader to face the league of nations and the United Nations. Earth's oldest Christian nation. Ark of the covenant in Ethiopia, black Madonna and child. I say Rastafari the Christ and not Jesus the Christ.
Christ never says he was christ Remember He said in the book of revelation that its for Him to set the mystery and man to figure it out all he knew that he had to fullfill his prophecy and birth right and to be crown the king of kings lord of lords conquering lion of the tribe of Judah ask him if he is god he will always say no but he is man like me and you, that is what jesus told us when the diciples were following him calling him god rabbi rabbi master master do you remember what he said to them he ask them why do they call him that. For Iam man but still we claim Jesus to be the god of our prayers yet if you read your bibles it claim jesus to be from the royal lineage of david and he also was reffered to as the king of the Jews And the king of kings so in those times to now God never change he will always be the king of kings over all kings of the earth and still he will also never mention his self to be god but tell you that he is only man like always" if you read your bibles correctly with True knoweledge of ethnicity and culture barriers you will know that the lion of judah as christ himself the triumphant onewill always over come Haile selassie is Yeshuas Kristos of our mother mary return in these lastdays as he said he would in the book of revelation to to overthrow the devil and his army which is the pope and his entire congregation remember the longest war between two nations in history is between the army of god and his roghteous kingdom and the devil that beatifull deceptive serpent and his army. From the very begginigs of creation Rome have been trying to destroy and overcome Ethiopia 🇪🇹 when god already told us in psalms 87 that Ethiopia is his Garden Zion and thats where his soul loves to reside . Truth over Religion anytime anywhere, but if you do want to take it to religion ....then I can say...Ethiopia is also the oldest christian nation lol oh good god of mercy I soooo give thanks for truth 😘 I love you all mankind may the lord and his grace be with you from the grounds of jerusalem to the shores of ethiopia did you guys remember when how the queen of Ethiopia Queen Osheba king solomons later wife Rejoiced and shouted for Joy!!!

I think that African American obsession with Ethiopians is interesting. They are East Africans and Middle Easterners and not too culturally similar to west Africans
daniel tabin no where near anything like a middle easterner. 1. I can tell you have never been to Ethiopia. If your going by what you see on tv, Ethiopians are and look black. 2. You never met , lived amongst or befriended any Ethiopians. They are regular black people, just a different culture one that is a good choice for “re-africanizing” oneself. As a person who has an Ethiopian wife, learned Amharic, Rastafari and devote EOTC I am speaking from first hand experience. I am a african brought to America btw.
Conquering Lion you know nothing about me and far less about Africa. I have been to Ethiopia many times in many places including Tirgray, Harari, Adis Ababa and much of Oromia. I have also been to west Africa and Southern Africa and other East African countries. I was taking about culture not looks. Horner culture is extremely different from that of west Africa. Ethiopians speak a Semitic language, Amharic, which you claim to know. On the topic of looks they do have a very different look though. You can see it so clearly if you’ve ever been there. Sure they are black but Africa is an extremely diverse continent and the west and east are completely different. What more the horn itself is even more different due to the strong middle eastern influence
@@danieltabin6470 The people in the Horn are Cushitic people. If all Europeans can appreciate each others cultures, so can black nations. End. of.
@@conqueringlion3734 majority of Ethiopians are cushitic and semitic and they look very different from West Africans. But there are minority ethnic groups who resemble West Africans. But the point is that blacks in America and Caribbean are from West AFRICA, so Jamaicans and others calling Ethiopia home and worshipping a dead Ethiopian emperor doesn't make sense.
You stupid Africa is diverse
I couldn't help but notice your foot was obscuring the first word. Was it intentional.??
The way you talk is exactly like Brad Neely in Wizard People lol.
This is the worst report on Haile Selassie ive ever seen - Selassie started the African Union -Ethiopia was a member of League of Nations -Selassie started Ethiopian Airlines -Selassie went to Jerusalem and helped Assyrian and Armenians refugees from the Ottoman Empire, he gave assyrian/armenians orphans a home in Ethiopia -Selassie was called the Lion of Judah by the European elite, and was greeted like a King by the western world.. -Selassie sent ethiopian soliers to help during Korean war -Selassie gave aid to UK, Sweden and other countries after WW2, during the starvation Get your facts straight!
10:46 when people think you're taking a photo but really you're videoing them. LOL!!!
That important national icon is your dad right?
Marcus Gavey never said to look to the east for a king. That was Rev C. Morris Webb (whom was a member of the U.N.I.A.) that made that statement.
You right bro Rev. Webb said that
@Xavier 971 Garvey (the people hustler) got that statement from Rev C. Morris Webb. He also sold fake Black Star Line stock certificates.
My Grandpa met ("was presented to" is more correct) Emperor Haile Selassie when he was translator for President Tito of Yugoslavia. He had a photograph of the occasion, & i'm looking at it right now. Just the three of them in the shot. He told me thatTito & the Emperor communicated well anyway, & didn't need a translator.
"Tito & the Emperor communicated well anyway, & didn't need a translator." What language did they speak? English?
@@keeganmoonshine7183: From what I've read, Haile Selassie spoke Amhara, Oromo, and French. It's most likely he and Tito conversed in French.

Can you explain please
HaileSelasea has no other dream than to unite Africa. His actions speak than you miss translated his previous speech. That is the main reason why, even Rastafarians loved him so such. But, he him self is Christian. So, he obviously is servant of God... not meant to be worship. And they ( Rastafarian) are right of what they did to begin the revolution of going back to Africanism. Because, Africa is the only place they belong... no where else. Once they come to Africa, then will learn on how to become real African. That is why they present them self in confusing way to the rest of the World because no body understand the bottom of their heart. HailSelasea is the key of their entrance. So that they love him so much. And it worked as anyone could observe. So longe. One Love to all brother and sister. In Christ name. Amen.
Being the King of kings of Zion Ethiopia and the lion of Judah elect of God is not just a name as HIM says in his last words no one shall come with this name except HIM The first and the last and many Ethiopians throughout history believed in him as our savior and bowed down to the living King who fought for freedom and equality of every human being.
I have heard that Haile Selassie was related to the Danish Royal House.
King of kings, and lord of lords.. JAAAAHHHH!! Rastafari...

Hello My grandfather bought an elephant sculpture from king saud al saud auction after the king died the elephant sculpture my grandfather bought was a gift from haile selassie to king saud i wish that some one help me where is the best place to sell this kind of sculptures or even to get an estimate price for it and thank you
We need a god that created us at his image, so we create a god at our image.
The Rastas in Jamaica knows that they are the children of israel, so when it was prophesied that Jesus would reincarnated and be crowned King of kings, Lord of lords, conquering lion of the the tribe of Judah,(Emperor Selassie title) they said this must be the mesiah that come back to set them free from Babylon(the wicked system). Listen to Bob Marley song, Exodus.
And they killed the prophet
And then Italy won and conquered the land while their Messiah was exiled to live in the white man’s London. :/ so much for the Son of Jah
Where is that prophecy found of Jesus being reincarnated? O.o
@@solascripturaPR1517 I want to know also, but that's what they believe.
Yeah except Selassie himself said he wasn’t a god, he wasn’t a messiah, and that people shouldn’t worship him 🤧
Correction: Garvey wasn't racist, he was Pan-Africanist. He didn't have the means to oppress whites. He believed strongly in the unification of Africa and coming from under the European's rule.
I might not have gone with the word racist here but it is difficult to parse race based nationalism from racism. He was antisemitic, and against miscegenation. He'd probably find a lot of agreement with the alt right and their insistence on ethnonationalism. I have no qalms calling them racist. Ive seen people online assert that racism requires power, but I do not buy that because power structures are ill defined. I prefer to divide the world into racists and antiracists. I was busy paraphrasing Ibram X. Kendi but then decided it would be better just to suggest you look for his book. If you can meet with with the klan and find your goals overlapping you're certainly not an antiracist. I do hesitate to judge Gravey from a historically priveledged position. I wouldn't know what response to centuries of oppression would seem most appropriate or justified at the turn of the 20th century. Maybe the hope of racial integration would have seemed wholly naive. Frankly I'm not sure I could convincingly argue against someone who as yet remains sceptical today. I'm glad he had his opponents in Civil rights activists in the US and black marxists. I draw a comparison with Gandhi. Of course he is rightfully respected as the leading figure of indian independence and his commitment to pacifism, but I'm not sure I could fault anymore who lacked Gandhi's patience. Indeed after Jallianwala Bagh massacre it could be argued that it would be immoral to insist indians maintain nonviolence. An armed uprising would probably worked out worse for the subcontinent than the manner in which history did play out, but the ethics of a decision or preechings can't take outcome into consideration.
Racism in no way requires the means to oppress. It is merely the idea that races exist, and are a distinct identity to hold onto, rather than a socially-derived in-grouping and out-grouping. I'm not saying Garvey was wrong in doing so, per se, but there's no question he fits the definition of a racist. He believed in, and propagated, racially constructed ideas.
@@RareEarthSeries I don't think you can say something doesn’t exist just because it's socially constructed. National identities are also constructed, but that's little comfort to a Palestinian*. I'm white. Marcus Garvey was black. We are both Leos btw, luckily that identity is so inconsequential that I can safely ignore it and avoid those who do put stock in it. Those racial categories might be crude and in certain disciplines useless, but they are consequential whether we embrace them or not. You might hope for a future in which we have overcome those divisions, but to insist they don't exist isn't at all helpful. An unwillingness to acknowledge race might at be well meaning, but we live in a world with inherited and actual injustices , unconscious biases, and prejudices in all spheres of life which do fall along racial lines. That way lies dismissing any efforts to address those issues as racially motivated, identity politics, and therefore racist. It's the argument of those who respond to black lives matter with all lives matter. You don't create a better world by pretending you already live in one. Racial identities are a fact of life, and we have to deal with them accordingly. The difference between the racist and the antiracist is not that the one thinks that race exists and the other does not. The Antiracist sees it as something to ultimately overcome, while the racist believes there is value to those divisions. To overcome oppression groups may need to assert themselves against the dominant group and in doing so embrace the identity, hence black power and black is beautiful movements. By your definition those movements would be racist, but I believe they could be working in accordance with an antiracist agenda. The question is whether the same could be argued for black nationalism. I'm inclined to abhor nationalism, but I have the luxury of being born at the tail end of a century which was a crash course in the perils of nationalism. Maybe a hundred years ago nationalism would have been at least as reasonable position as integration. Love your work. One of my favourite channels. *Or is it Palestini? Don't know how they feel about isms and schisms.

Haile Selasie had flaws but he United Africa through the African Union, which helped 27 African contires get independence, your research isn’t quite perfect, your just good at story telling, and your missed a lot of points and made Rastafarian believers look dumb, it’s not only because halle selasie claimed his a Solomonic dynasty but he gave amazing speeches about equality and peace through out his rule, and those speeches reached bob Marley and influenced reggae music to be about peace and love, Haile Selassie is a very smart person, who had a lot of knowledge about social impacts and power, he had been mentioned multiple times on one of the best seller books, 41 laws of power, haile selasie ruled a country of people who was 80% illiterate and wouldn’t rule how you expect rulers to rule this days. You missed a lot of points, you need a lot of research brother,

this is far from accurate and is riddled with a lack journalistic integrity, it is similar to 1960 to the 80's Dan Rather like reporting that is barley aware of the context that can't be and shouldn't be made into a 10 min video..It is sad to see this type of dogmatic thought and conclusions when that was what the topic of ridicule..To say that Rastafarians whip people who dont believe what they believe is absurd..

The true political sojourns of Haile Selassie, in his efforts to protect Ethiopia from colonization, and in some cases, general Amhara prejudice toward sub Saharan blacks, would shake many peoples foundations on this subject. Mutabaruka is most likely the best teacher, with the clearest vision, on the subject of rastafari. I believe he would agree with the narrator of this video. The premise that emperor Haile Selassie I, is a descendant of King David, should arguably be the first of many religious pillars to be challenged.
Good work.
I know if ones asked yahuah if he's the Almighty he would respond just as now he had done as Haile Selassie our Father pray.... 6:49 John the Baptist was like unto the same as Garvey. John asked should we look for another Christ? ... Marcus said the king is a coward... same type of spirit. Yet prophecies where fulfilled by what they speak. The lamb works is different from the lion yet same spirit same man.
Exactly, every time someone brings up how Selassie responded to being the messiah, I think Jesus did the same in his story w the Romans. Jesus' response just phrased differently

I'm black in Africa, I 100% agree with you. I give 10/10 with the way you presented this video using facts no hatred but pure facts in a politely manner. While everyone is free to believe in whatever they want, I reject the ideology of hatred. I reject the ideology delusion. Damn it, Selassie was not black but an Arab.
Ethiopians are Africans
His not an Arab you and fool
The Word Of God, Haile Selassie The First and The Same from The Beginning Of Creation, had to be from Shem - Noah's eldest son, not from Ham, The Father Of The Black Race, so to call HIM Arab confirms biblical prophecy. Yes, of course hatred is blind. I, Reuben, am seeing for you now. You poor soul.
please cover pastafarians next
I like the idea that you are exploring Ras Tafari however the idea about Marcus Garvey not wanting equality is wrong there is Ras Tafari in every nation and the idea of bringing Africa back and to unite Africans is what Marcus Garvey was trying to show I don't believe he was racist because the truth is no matter what color you're skin is everything and everyone will always be Africa so unite everyone under Africa all Nations keep up the cultural videos nice work.
the question should be 'is Haile Selasie the Conquering Lion of the tribe of Judah'?
Haile Selassie is not god but! He's the most powerful man of god that walk the face of the earth in this time if you want the lord to dwell in you just fallow that man Selassie you can't go wrong that's the man I try to fallow you need to talk about the powerful things he did that they covered up I bet you believed in the illuminati god though that's who most of you pray too they hated Selassie with a passion because he was so powerful with the most high god that dwell in him.
@Mø Nälayé not trying to start any problems. Could you explain that. I'm just learning. Thank you
The issue is, is that rasta's praise selassie more then jesus.
@@Karizma231 because he was much more relevant to situation that’s been going on since Jesus up and left us
Yeah I definitely hear that. But I think sometimes rasta's maybe need to acknowledge Jesus a bit more. Even Selassie said he worships Jesus so that in itself should show them how important he is. But I hear you regarding praising someone a lot who has been been an inspiration to particularly black people struggles in the 20th and 21st century etc.

So I just wanted to say I love your videos, you're a great storyteller and I'm sorry you have to do this on youtube where the possibilities for actual debate and criticism are very limited. Thank you for this though! Are you still in Ethiopia? I always wondered if there was some sort of "pride" for them being in he place where mankind originated, is that a thing?
Doubtfully, and recently evidence has come up maybe showing that humans didn't originate from Africa at all, after proto-human remains from Greece were analysed, showing that humans evolved in Europe before going to Africa. You will find though that people are unwilling to consider new evidence when it comes to this theory, due to a sense of victimhood in regards to African history. ("Africa was mistreated by the west, so if you take this away from us then you are racist!")
