"The Black represents for us the dedication of the people joined
together by one strong bond. It is the colour of strength, of unity of
purpose, and of the wealth of the land. Red is the colour most
expressive of our country; it represents the vitality of the land and
its peoples; it is the warmth and energy of the sun, the courage and
friendliness of the people.
White is the sea by which these lands are bound; the cradle of our
heritage; the purity of our aspirations and the equality of men and
women under the sun. Thus, the colours chosen represent the elements of
the Earth, Water and Fire which encompass all our past, present and
future; and inspire us as one united, vital, free and dedicated people."

I guess this is my cynical representation of the Red, White and Black.
