Should the RBG flag be just black?

[ba'al]

I ask this because Charles Mowbray believes Garvey used red for the red people of the world, and green for the Irish. Neither of which are allies.

If this is true, should the flag be just black?

I'm asking because I wish the RBG to be the flag of our new Union.

False. Ya'll need to crack open a book asap. Garvey didn't create the flag solely by himself. The Flag came about in 1920 in madison square garden, New York during a convention of the Unia. 20,000 black folks came from all around the world to help create the flag.Some even faced punishment of death by their home country if they attended the convention. I wish nikkas would stop trying to remix shyt all the god damn time.
These are what the colors symbolize

• red: the blood that unites all people of Black African ancestry, and shed for liberation;
• black: black people whose existence as a nation, though not a nation-state, is affirmed by the existence of the flag
• green: the abundant natural wealth of Africa.

This flag has nothing to do with red people or the god damn irish.It was created to represent all the black people in the world.

For the knowledge. I think we all need a crash course in our own history. Some more than others of course. You cant advance if you dont know where you've been

C'mon brehs....yall don't know what the colors mean.....

Red
The color of fire, aggression, and blood.

Red represents the blood of our martyrs, the 100 Million men and women who have shed their blood and given their lives for the cause of liberty, unification, and redemption.

Red compels us to remember the Oscar Grants, the Trayvon Martins, the Sean Bells, the Troy Davises alongside the Malcolm Xs, the Martin Luther King Jrs, the Huey P. Newtons, and the Denmark Veseys.

Red represents the passion and the aggression born within every Black man and woman, the life forces that must be tapped to release the collective energy that we will need to achieve our divine purpose on this planet.

Black
The color of the infinite, the mysterious, the unified, the definitive. The color of the most fertile of soil from which all life springs forth, and to which all life must return.

Black represents the color of the Original people.

It compels us to remember that we Black men and women are all unified as members of one family.

Black represents the uniformity of our intentions. Black also represents the ignorance – the void – from which we must emerge before we are able to lead and enlighten the rest of the world.

Green
The color of fertility, productivity, and prosperity.

Green represents the fertile cradle of Africa in all her prosperous glory. Green reminds us of our mission as Pan-Africanists; the unification of Africa into one mighty nation – protected, self-sustaining, and developed to her full potential.

Red represents the color of the blood that has been shed.

Black represents our identity.

Green represents the color of the land that must be redeemed and reclaimed for us, the original people of the world.

Now you know. RBG up!
