Haile Selassie visited Jamaica on 21 April 1966, and approximately one hundred thousand Rastafari from all over Jamaica descended on Palisadoes Airport in Kingston, having heard that the man whom they considered to be their messiah was coming to visit them. Spliffs and chalices were openly smoked, causing "a haze of ganja smoke" to drift through the air.

"apparently" is for when you are either too lazy to make an argument or when you want to describe the way things are treated by external forces regardless of their internal characteristics, imo

as I have repeatedly learned through panic attacks, this is not the place to admit any doubt about your highly dubious sources. With strength and forbearance I have crafted a Libya thread beyond anything ever achieved.

a lot of indians settled in lancashire in part because indian textile industries were systematically dismantled by the british authorities to protect the mills there & so that's where the jobs were. it's likely that the frustrated imperialists of eastern africa ended up settling in washington dc for similar reasons
