First of all lets begin by saying I do not believe he was a racist. So how did you wind up on dirty feet.?
Not every person with dredlocks is of the Jamacian Culture or practice Rastafarianism and they don't all have smelly feet.

He was quite proud of the fact that supposedly his ancestors went back to Noah.
Moses married a Ethopian woman, named Zipporah the Midianite . The word Ethopian is the Greek equivelant of the Hebrew word "Cush" in Genisis10:8 it is recorded that one of the son s of Ham. The Cushites became known as the Sumerians. To follow the story open the link.

Rastafarians were born out of desperation. They had nothing and were
going no where. Haile Selassie was a symbol to them that the black man could be strong, contrary to what they saw in their own country. Ethiopia was a black nation that had been independent for thousands of years, despite its African neighbors (with the exception of Liberia). It had been ruled by black emperors who ruled black subjects. Haile Selassie was also believed to be descended from the line of David by Solomon. This only added to the Jamaicans belief that he was their savior. Whether or not he was the second coming, Christ himself or just related to Christ through his heritage.
