Dear Editor,

It is my profound sadness to express the cruel, anger and hatred that the people afflicted upon a prophet called Brother Man and the racial hatred towards Rastafarians in the village.

        Brother Man was seen to most people in the community has kind, humble, righteous and even a prophet. He has always come to the rescue to any and every one that needed his helped dearly. For illustration, when Cordeila neede the money to take her son to see the doctor but was too afraid to ask, Brother Man gave her the money although she was afraid to admit it. Thus, it was quite shocking when Cordelia teamed up with Bro' Ambo and the rest of the villager to betrayed Bra' Man.

      First and foremost it all happened with the gossipping and the throwing of bad words towards Bra' Man. It was a quiet and peaceful evening when Brother Man decided to walk down the road.However, this was not an ordinary walk that seems to be apart of Brother daiy routine. On his way down the street, most of the villagers was talking which was more like gossiping about Brother Man. In spite of their disputable attitude, Brother Man ignore them and continued on his journey.

     After, all of a sudden they start to laughing and mocking Brother Man calling him"ole rastafarite, rapist" and a "murderer". However, Brother Man kept his cool and kept trodding. Then suddenly a women started pelting stones towards Bra'Man repeadly, when blood started to flow from his head, coiling his clothing. there was one good samaritan who tried to rescue Bra' Man but was beated and thrown int a gutter due to the fact that she was an old lady that lacck strenghth and could not stand up to them.

     Furthermore, Bra' Man was almost beated to death.

that was the most horrible thing that anyone human being could baer in a life time. In fact, Bra' Man was a servant of God so he survive the cruel act of the villagers.

     In addition, Rastafarians were seen as as criminals that were not acceptable in society. The reason for this been wa sdue to the fact that a woman was beaten and raped while a man was killed whom they believed that wa s done by a rastafarian. As a result they was seen as a threat to society and was pressured into shaving their heads and beards.

     Therefore, the villagers was cruel to Bra' Man who had done anything wrong but to live a peaceful and charitable life. Has for Rastafarian living in the community they was also harsh and disrespectful towards the Rastafarian culture.

   

Yours truly,
Patricia Hall
