"In Smith’s original design, the red and the green altered their positions. I believe that it was because that those who participate in a contest want to win the contest. Smith made his design prevaling the red color according to the leftist inclinations of the premier Mr. Jagan (a ethnic Indian pro-Soviet). The design of Vaclav Kalikova also show a gold triangle (but single) from hoist to fly and rest is green (and a blue star is in the yellow triangle). Perhaps the College of arms made a mixture of both designs. I believe that the five colors were in fact requested by the government (I read it) but I don’t remember if for Mr. Jagan or Mr. Burnham. The fimbriations are against the heraldic principles and it is strange that the College of Arms (always precise) added unnecesary fimbriations."

Bring back the Union Jack. When we get our own independent sovereign country I propose bringing back the Union Jack, the Queen as head of State and God Save the Queen Anthem I .  They symbolise order and stability.

The flag and the country name reflects a country in Africa and gives foreigners the impression that it is poor, corrupt, savage and going nowhere country.

tekkin dem 1 at a time for maximum EXPOSURE

The colors of the flag are harsh and pronounced, sharp and edgy.  It reflects much of how Guyana turned out.  Softer colors with less sharp boundaries should have been adopted. 

Green and yellow seems very Rasta/Afro!  Why would anyone put Black...apart from ISIS?  And why would the designer think or Red to appease Jagan?  Clearly Guyana had differing views on ideology!

Guyana (PPP) should redesign the flag and issue a new currency!

Actually, Marcus Garvey was qute influential among the GT Negroes and generally Negroes in English speaking regions of the World. Even the villages of Guiana he had prominence. So popular, he made a visit to GT and persuaded them of the importance of Ethiopia, the only African country never to be colonalized. He held the emblems of Ethiopia in high regards, the flag, the anthem and the Emperor. A Jamaican living in America, he had the following of prominent blacks world over, and the great Bob Marley. The Emperor was impressed with his zeal for taking back the Negroes to Ethiopia that there was a sizeable portion of land set aside for the new arrivals-the Rastas. Something like the re-settlement in Liberia.

Jagan embraced everything Black, I doan know if it is for paternal instincts. So messed up he was, he tried to hang out with Stokey Carmichael whilst stoking up GT Blacks. Carmichael told him that he Carmichael was for black power and Cheddie ain Black.

I remember being taught the meaning of the colors of the flag in Social Studies.  We were being taught by a bad-ass PNC woman.  She told us:

Green - for the lush green forest and plants

White - for the many rivers, creeks and lakes

Yellow - for the gold, the myth of ElDorado...but we were poor ass

Black - for our people.  She opened her eyes big, raised her voice and said...we are a Black nation, everyone is Black...including the Putagees

Red - I don't remember what that supposed to represent!

This is BS.....and you know it....RE: Red represents the communism of the PPP...just as much as it is BS that the other colors were a reflection of Garvey and Ethiopia....

Its difficult that a creator of the flag would include RED as a reference to the communism or ...of an "ETHNIC INDIAN PRO-SOVIET" in reference to the leftist inclinations of Jagan...especially when this dude (Jagan) was so hated for his ideology and the fact that communism was seen as a threat to the WEST at the time...

The racial tribes on both sides of the flag needf to clean their eyes:

Here is the scoop:

The Golden Arrowhead, Guyana's National Flag has FIVE symbolic colors -- GREEN represents the agricultural and forested nature of Guyana, WHITE symbolizes the rivers and water potential of the country, a GOLDEN arrow represents Guyana's mineral wealth, BLACK portrays the endurance that will sustain the forward thrust of the Guyanese people and RED represents the zeal and dynamic nature of nation-building which lies before the young and independent Guyana.

According to PNC, the flag represent BLACK FREEDOM FIGHTER. Former President Desmond Hoyte stands next to notorious criminal Blackie with the flag draping his coffin.

Subliminal messaging!  Most people envision black as no light/wisdom, emptiness and the abyss.

Black and deep Red and harshly defining colors!  I can accept the purposeful meaning of the other three!

Dig deeper knucklehead….

Ravi Dev is guilty of misinformation and ethnic nationalism…YOU are guilty of being a simpleton… …looking at a book without investigating whats inside the book…

These are not Smith’s words that you posted below…the Harvard trained flag pioneer was smarter than this….I doubt he would make such a stupid statement and proceed to make a permanent fixture paying tribute to a communist government, knowing that such a government may not be lasting…Burnham was  very much in play at the time…

The link below indicates that when requested, Jagan did not provide any indication as to how the flag should look…

"In Smith’s original design, the red and the green altered their positions. I believe that it was because that those who participate in a contest want to win the contest. Smith made his design prevaling the red color according to the leftist inclinations of the premier Mr. Jagan (a ethnic Indian pro-Soviet). The design of Vaclav Kalikova also show a gold triangle (but single) from hoist to fly and rest is green (and a blue star is in the yellow triangle). Perhaps the College of arms made a mixture of both designs. I believe that the five colors were in fact requested by the government (I read it) but I don’t remember if for Mr. Jagan or Mr. Burnham. The fimbriations are against the heraldic principles and it is strange that the College of Arms (always precise) added unnecesary fimbriations."

not sure what point you are 'proving' with the silly word and quote salad you mashed up to camouflage your monumental stupidity

learn to properly digest information and organize your thoughts like an adult before indulging the compulsion to bray

hard FACT banna, the conceptualization and adoption of the Guyana flag had NOTHING to do with Garvey, Africa or Afrocentrism

THAT'S the history!

everything else from YOU and the race antimen prancing around here is carping NONSENSE and malignant, ignorant imaginings

Snowey, regardless of the intent of de white man that designed de flag. De colors are still very afrocentric. That's all Ravi was saying.

No offence to Baseman and his cousin who I knew since I was a boy. We have to stamp out the influence of Salassie and Rasta farai on the East Indian and Dougla people of Guyana. It is a foreign concept and influence to our people just like the Arabs and their white supremacy attitudes towards our people. We have to stamp it out and replace it with an authentic South Asian cultural identity.
