ETHIOPIA IS JANNAHAs mentioned earlier, Rastafarians are not united in their beliefs, but some core concepts are these: hatred for the white race, the superiority of blacks, the hope of an eventual return to Africa, the acknowledgement of Haile Selassie as the “Supreme Being” and only ruler of black people, and no existence after this life. Ethiopia is considered to be the Rasta “heaven on Earth,” and there is no such place as an eternal punishment in “hell.”
