the Rasta's say jah Rastafarian which simply means Eternal God Selassie I. why they say

Selassie is because they believe that Selassie whose full name is "Haile Selassie" is GOD, and that he will return to Africa members of the black community who are living in exile.

And the Rasta's mostly say these words when honoring their GOD and then end it with "Jah Rastafarian"

"Glory be to the father and to the maker of creation. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be World without end". Jah Rastafarian

Do rastafarian's hate white people?

NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! I&I Rastas do not hate anyone. I&I believe in equality of all people. I&I believe this so strongly, I&I say, "I&I" instead of "we." You might of figured this because many texts talk about "the white mans bible" and how I&I disagree with their bible. I&I Rastas compare western society to the "babylon" that's in the bible, so I&I call western society babylon. what was meant by "white man's bible" was BABYLONS bible because babylonians changed the bible. His Majesty Haile Selassie I, or Jah, reincarnate of Christ, spoke against this saying, telling rastas that it was RACIST and COMPLETELY AGAINST THE WAYS OF RASTAFARI. Jah People are peaceful, not racist.

How do you get permission to use a Bob Marley quote on a not for profit organisation's calendar?

If you feel you require permission, contact the chairman of Bob Marley's estate (The Marley Family.) Although to be honest, (not wishing to condone copyright infringement) if you use the quote in a positive way, Bob's family should have no problems with it as they are Rastas, and you are helping to spread Jah message. Jah RastafarI
