"It's like saying you like gospel or byzantine chant except for the christian lyrics."
I do actually (some of it, sometimes). Also yes, there is lots of reggae without Haile Selassi.
Also I can make a difference between what other people mean with some words and what I understand by them. Meaning to Rastafari Haile Selassi stands for a great and just ruler. So I can go with those vibes while listening, even though for me the historical Haile Selassi was just another corrupt monarch.
