We call it gold... As I said... It is not the colors only but, what it means... wink wink wink

If you know history you would know it is Ghana and EGYPT!!!

Egypt later went on to doing Pan-Arab Ideals though!!!

Ethiopia was free all those years but, never really tried to bring freedom to neighboring groups countries... After the British helped them avoid colonization by arming them and giving them logistics they used that power to try to colonize other countries lands grin grin grin grin grin grin... Mainly Somalia and Eritrea grin grin grin grin


There is not a single movement funded by them to get others out of colonization but the fact that they were not officially colonized was an inspiration...

If one is to write history honestly... Egyptians did more in the name of Pan-Africanism than Ethiopia did!!! I think the fact that they transitioned to Pan-Arabism and decided to become a power in the Middle East allowed this history to be forgotten...

There has been debate about that from some black diasporians about some ghanians intentions, so you may have a point

"black" is a color not an identity

they feel superior because many africans esp ghanaians act like slaves
to be honest ,I don't even care about ethiopians and what they consider themselves
I just appreciate their sense of dignity

lol... why wont it be follow, follow? didnt u see the 3 colors red, gold/yellow and green in the non-existent biafran flag?

the bold black for now signifies that igbos are predominately dark but they want to come off as light, hence the little splash of yellow in the middle.

so by time they fully get independence, the black will be bleached out and replaced with yellow.

Ghana has the most Slave Castles in Africa! FACT!!!

What is shocking is that I have been following the genetic studies of many Celebrities and you almost never see Ghanaian come up... Mainly Nigerian and Angolan groups... Makes sense looking the population of Nigeria...

I claim all black people as my people but, in reality I think most are of Nigerian and Angolan Origin... The Ghanaian decent are mainly those from the small Carribean Islands...

For example I watched a show called African-American lives and not a single person tested was a Ghanaian ethnic group.. I think this is so because Barbarians use to walk slaves from Nigeria, Benin, Togo etc etc to Ghana...

The Ghanaians who ended up in Slavery were mainly the victims of war... like the Maroons of Jamaica and other Caribean Islands... Akan rivalry in the 1600's to 1900's...


Let me reiterate!!

Slavery is not embarrassing especially since many of the decedents of slaves are doing MUCH better than people in Ethiopia!! grin grin grin grin grin

In fact they put more in the world economy in one year than Ethiopia has in 20!!! shocked shocked shocked !!!
