JAMAICA: The “X” is a cross and in
Jamaican lingo a cross is a curse. The YELLOW cross divides the BLACK people
while cutting them off from the inherent wealth of their lush GREEN land.
Yellow can be symbolic of hope, redemption, and resurrection , which can be
cancelled out or compromised by a cross/curse. The dreams of a great and mighty
people have been temporarily deferred.
TRINIDAD: These great BLACK people strive to rise up, but end up backsliding. Their direction as a collective is outlined by
WHITE colonial ideals that still remain prevalent in their minds. This “frame”
of thought places “borders” on their consciousness, which temporarily blocks
them from connecting with the deepest ancestral RED bloodlines which are the
source of their true power.
Biographies for both islands typically say that they “adopted” their flags in 1962, the year they both got their so-called independence.
However you cannot "adopt" something that YOU created. You can only
“adopt” something created for you by someone else. So much for
independence. I may break down the flags of other islands at a later time.
Nevertheless, I think that the people have the power to force
their governments to do the right thing. I think that a United States of the
West Indies is needed. I say this because the similarities in language and
culture can yield quick results. Ultimately, this model should be expanded to
include all the Caribbean islands that would like to work together, sharing
resources, under one single governing body.
The flag for this Caribbean superstate should be designed and
voted on by the people themselves. Whoever designs a national flag controls the
fate of the people who pledge allegiance to it. A flag codifies the destiny of
a nation through the use of color and geometry. Who designed your flag?
