Haile Selassie I had no role in organising or promoting the Rastafari movement which for many Rastas is seen as proof of his divinity in that he was no false prophet claiming to be God. He was a devout member of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, as demanded by his political role in Ethiopia. His publicly known views towards the Rastafarians varied from sympathy to polite interest.
He made an attempt at fighting back the Italian invaders personally, which I can respect, but his wealth and possession of countless Rolls Royces makes me doubt his credibility.
