Tue, 06 Feb 2007 14:46:51 +0000http://whiteafrican.com/?p=149#comment-1434I don’t think any of the flags are funny. Some I think really shows the truth on how blacks are being undermined in a world of prejudice. There is also some key facts outlined that should educate our people and for them to take head to the way our people are viewed in modern day times.

Wed, 01 Feb 2006 01:05:17 +0000http://whiteafrican.com/?p=149#comment-1432i must admit that i only found the columbia, us and eu flags to be funny – the others were just too sad to really find funny.
but it’s a very good idea in this case, since i don’t think the artist was making fun of these situations (other than possibly the us flag 🙂

Tue, 17 Jan 2006 00:53:21 +0000http://whiteafrican.com/?p=149#comment-1428Ethan, good point. However, when you look at the other flags – especially the US one – you have to admit that the artist was poking fun a little. I believe that these are great examples of representative art. However, that fact alone does not preclude humor.

Mon, 16 Jan 2006 23:58:34 +0000http://whiteafrican.com/?p=149#comment-1427The series of flags in question won a large number of awards from the design and art communities. Rather than “poking fun” at these nations, they tried to recast the flags as graphical depictions of some of the problems facing those nations. The area covered by the different colors in the flags accurately represent the portion of population afflicted by HIV and malaria, in the case of Angola. (The artist distorted the flags to make the percentages work.) I don’t exactly think the artist was looking for a quick laugh here…
