Rastafarians believe they are the (black) reincarnation of the lost tribes of the Israelites. The same Israelites who, after that unfortunate business with The Son of God, were subjected to the divine punishment of either being enslaved or ostracised by the dominating white race. So, things can only get better.
They (although it is not exactly clear which 'they') will eventually be forgiven and repatriated to their African homeland where white people will finally achieve their own rightful position in life - completely subservient to the blacks.

This is a view that has been diluted over the years from the original incitement of armed revolution via vociferous accusations concerning the exploitation of black people, to a realisation that repatriation to almost anywhere in Africa would not quite be the paradise-on-earth that was originally envisaged.
