It looks like some shit pol would have come up with, been seeing people driving around with it hanging out their windows all weekend.

I swear it HAS to be tongue in cheek, there's no fricking way people have so little self awareness.

The flag if you haven't seen it:

I guess its called the AFRICAN AMERICAN flag but its hilarious to me and I giggle every time a car drives by bumping drill music with this flag hanging out.

The weirdest part is I google "african american flag watermelon" and none of the top results link to any discussion of this topic when its so glaringly obvious the flag is a god darn watermelon.

From the Universal Negro Catechism:

Red is the color of the blood which men must shed for their redemption and liberty; black is the color of the noble and distinguished race to which we belong; green is the color of the luxuriant vegetation of our Motherland.

It's a major motif in most African flags. So while it may be stupid, at least it's consistent.

There are two pan-African flags, the first one is a variation of the flag of Ethiopia, used by actual Africans from Africa and featured on various national flags, and the second one is used by "black" Amerimutts who LARP as Africans:

Red is my flesh, so juicy and sweet.

Green is my skin, hard as diamond to protect my meat.

Black is my seed, to be spread far and wide.

I'm the sweetest dessert, to enjoy after Popeyes.

Like a good portion of Africa is desert and savannah, not really โ€œgreenโ€, per se.
