Red, Gold, Black, and Green: Black Nationalist Aesthetics
"This is also an illustration of a wider conceptual point: that political ideologies are not only constellations of texts and doctrines but multi-media aesthetic environments."

I pledge allegiance to only us,
to the New Afrikan Nation of the diaspora,

And we already have a flag!
