Here are some points:
* Haile Selassie (one-time ruler of Ethiopia) is the Messiah.
* No Red meat or salt. (Ital diet)
* Babylon=White Supremacist Power Structure
* Black Africans are the descendants of the 12 Tribes of Israel.
* Zion= utopia.
* Black Pride.
* The official language is called Iyaric. Think of it as being like Heaven-O taken beyond the impossible.

Look for more info on Wikipedia.
