Haile Selassie, former emperor of Ethiopia, also known as Prince Tafari. Ras is a word for prince, so he was also referred to as Ras Tafari.
Believed to be a direct descendant to the throne of Sheba and Solomon.
He visited Jamaica around 1975 and was received as a living God by the local RasTafarians.
***and when you hear the dreads at Aqu say "ras clot" or "blood clot" you are hearing a most foul and filthy insult; fightin words.
HINT: how would a Jamaican pronounce the word 'cloth' ?
