The uniform flness of this flag is a representative of the negation of all oppressive structures.
The circle-A and the fl flag are the primary symbols applicable to anarchism as a whole.

The colors are as represented on the flag, Red, Black and Green (not Green, fl and red) and did indeed evolve from Marcus Garvey's UNIA movement.
The RED, BLACK and GREEN Flag was unveiled to the world by the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey and the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, of the World at it's first international convention on August 13, 1920.
The race catechism Garveyites used explained the significance of the red, fl, and green as for the "color of the blood which men must shed for their redemption and liberty", fl for "the color of the noble and distinguished race to which we belong," and green for "the luxuriant vegetation of our Motherland.

 Pan-Arab Colours
The Abbasid Dynasty (750-1258), ruling from Baghdad, took fl as a symbol of mourning for the assassination of relatives of the Prophet and in remembrance of the Battle of Karbala.
Black stands for the past history of foreign oppression, white stands for the bright future, and red stands for the bloody sacrifice required to get from the fl to the white.
The fact that this flag adoption coincides with the adoptions of very similar flags by Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Libya (Qadaffi's all-green flag didn't come in till later) seems to prove false the idea that said colors are inherently Egyptian.

 Legislative Black Caucus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The creation of the Legislative Black Caucus in the South Carolina legislature was a direct result of the civil rights movement and the legislation that came out of the movement.
By 1994 Legislative Black Caucus numbers had increased to 25 and they were beginning to grow independent of white Democrats in their push for more "minority majority" districts (that is, districts where a majority of voters are of the minority race).
While nearly all are opposed to the flying it in a place that properly displays the flag of the sovereign government, that is, the government that holds power in the state, members disagree over the priority of this issue.

 Black Liberation
That is why we defend Black nationalism, and support the right of all oppressed nationalities in general to form their own autonomous movements and formulate their own demands.
The primary issue contributing to Black farmers’ decline is rooted in the reforged class structure that followed the abolition of chattel slavery after the Civil War.
It robbed all the oppressed— fl and white, yellow and brown— inside and outside the United States—of a brother, of an incorruptible voice, of a revolutionist of uncommon talent and ability who was yet to reach his peak as a brilliant revolutionary agitator and mass leader.

 RED FLAG BLACK STAR by chuqsky
The class determination of these movements is, furthermore, obvious: the composition and demands of the fl movement and those of other ethnic minorities maintain a direct relation with poverty, while the movements such as the feminist or ecological have mainly a middle class composition.
As a result, during a long period, that doctrine was confined to ultra-conservative circles until, in the 1970's, the return of capitalist economic crises recreated the scene foreseen by Hayek, who in the three volumes, Law, Legislation and Freedom, develops the general ideas that he had merely sketched out three decades prior.
The difference between classical liberalism and neo-liberalism is that the former advocated no state intervention in the economy and society, while the latter advocates state intervention in the economy and society when the aim increases the value of capital, but not to compensate the social effects.

In many of the ninety-five percent Black public schools of New Orleans, students now pledge allegiance to the red, fl, and green, Black Liberation Flag, rather the Stars and Stripes.
One illustration of the difference between Whites and Blacks on the question of slavery, is that while historically both Whites and Blacks practiced it, resistance to it has always been led by Whites.
Compare that lack of zeal to Black and liberal hysteria against Apartheid South Africa, a society where there was no slavery and the best quality of life for Blacks in all of Africa.

 Cobb: Liberation isn't Black Liberation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
So if indeed flness has digressed to the point at which it is no longer existential/cultural liberation and considered the font of all liberation (economic, spiritual and political) then we have a problem.
The question of fl liberation then, is whether or not it can be achieved in other places similarly to the way it has been achieved here.
I simply observing, correctly I hope, that this sense of fl rebellion embedded in the left mentality is self-destructive, and that a simple choice of patriotism, or at least a lack of cynicism against 'America' is useful.

The abduction of our symbols by another group, does not constitute forfeiture, especially when there is no recourse for preventing their use by another group.
Ironically, the same liberals who burn and abuse the U.S. flag and Confederate flags, are the same ones who work to overthrow the laws that are designed to protect those symbols from abuse.

 Colours in the Flag of African Liberation Movements
Red, Black and Green are the oldest national colors known to man. They are used as the flag of the Black Liberation Movement in America today, but actually go back to the Zinj Empires of ancient Africa, which existed thousands of years before Rome, Greece, France, England or America.
It is a symbol of the devotion of all African people to the liberation of the African Continent, and the establishment of a Nation in Africa ruled by descendents of slaves from the Western World.
Thus, the colors were not chosen at any limited convention of Black persons; but, have been, in centuries past, and are now the emblem of true Black hope and pride, as embodied in all theories of Pan-Africanism and Black Nationalism.
