Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Rastafarians believe Haile Selassie is God and that he will return to Africa members of the black community who are living in exile as the result of colonisation and the slave trade. Rastafari theology developed from the ideas of Marcus Garvey, a political activist who wanted to improve the status of fellow blacks.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rastafari is Afrocentric and focuses attention on the African diaspora, which it believes is oppressed within Western society, or “Babylon". Many Rastas call for this diaspora’s resettlement in Africa, a continent they consider the Promised Land, or “Zion". Some practitioners extend these views into black supremacism.
