Why does Christafari choose to use the colors Red, Yellow and Green? What do they symbolize?
The colors we love to use are the Colors that represent all of Africa. Black represents the people of Africa. Red stands for the blood of the people that was shed. Gold is for the Gold that was stolen from them. Green is for the land of Africa. It was Marcus Garvey (a Christian) who first identified the colors with the continent of Africa. He simply looked at all of the nations flags and realized that most of them had something in common. To me the theme of Red, Yellow and Green is a constant reminder of where reggae music and virtually all other genres of music originated. Africa is the heartbeat and musical foundation of Reggae Music and this Music primarily reaches those that are of African heritage. These colors are found in the flag of Ethiopia, the first Christian nation. Due to this, they are also identified with Selassie worship. But this misues should not cause us to reject these God created color.
