Rastafarianism is both a religious and social movement that developed among black Jamaicans. Rastafarians accept the Christian Bible but reject British colonial culture, the culture of their oppressors. Instead, Rastafarians focus on their brotherhood with Africa. They worship Haile Selassie, who was Emperor of Ethiopia between 1930–1974. Rastafarians grow their hair in dreadlocks, eat a vegetarian diet and smoke ganja for spiritual purposes. find the word that means the same as "reasons"
