                                                           Rasta Colors

After  so many years,  Jamaicans were freed from slavery, Bob Marley thought of making a Rasta flag because too many Rastafarians did not think about it for a long time. This flag really makes Rastafarians and Reggae music  known, to have a vibe and is  one great value that makes us remember our hero, Bob Marley.
So, he made a flag and all the colors had a meaning. African savages said: '' Home will always be home!!'' even if you leave home or disappoint your people from your home because of the vibe you have, your vibes will one day disappear, you will suffer until you will think of going back home no matter how hard your home life sucks, you will definitely go back home home. That's why Bob put the black color in the Rastafarian's flag because black represent his root Africa where he came from.
Bob Marley made four colors for this flag but people of hatred always hid one color which is : black.
Here are those four colors : Black, Red, Green, yellow.

The black is for Africa. The red is for the blood of all living things in the world. The gold (Yellow) is for all of the treasures in the world that people cherish. The green is for the earth that people walk on, to which Rastas feel a special connection. These colours represent the Rastafari way of life. They were often proudly displayed by Bob Marley, one of the leading people in the Rastafarian movement.

I know everybody uses it but most of people don't even know the meaning of those colors, and this colors has done a lot for many business such as clothing, music and movies companies.
I'm born Rastafarian and these four colors hold a deeper meaning in my life, because, my dad taught me what those colors mean. When I was young, I knew that the Green, Yellow, Red means the blood shed for the African people, the sunshine of the African land, and the lush greenery of the African continent, and the black for the people of Africa.
