It begins…
Leftists want the Minnesota flag taken down because it shows white men working on a farm and an Indian with a spear.
Seriously?
The Star Tribune reported:
“The Minnesota state flag depicts a white man as a hardworking, rugged individualist, and an Indian riding a horse and holding a spear.
The current interest in the removal of the Confederate battle flag from public displays and store shelves provides an excellent opportunity to examine what the Minnesota state flag represents. The images on the flag are interpreted by state documents as innocuous symbols of the state’s history. A critical examination of what the flag is saying, however, should make Minnesotans reconsider what their state flag projects about their state.
The state flag of Minnesota is often something that is taken for granted. Thousands of people see the flag flying without giving it a second thought. First unfurled in 1893 (a date found on the flag), it has the state seal featured prominently in its center. The seal was based on a painting by Seth Eastman and was promoted by Gov. Henry Sibley; it did engender criticism when first used in 1858, but was not changed.
The “great symbolism” of the figures on the seal, as described by the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State, include an American “Indian on horseback … riding due south and [representing] the Indian heritage of Minnesota. The Indian’s horse and spear and pioneer’s ax, rifle, and plow represent tools that were used for hunting and labor” (Minnesota Legislative Manual).
A close examination shows the central figure to be a white pioneer dressed in work clothes, wearing a wide-brim hat and pushing a plow. He is an iconic image of a hardworking, rugged individualist who works alone to chop the trees, plow the land and protect his home. He is looking over his shoulder at the Indian, who is riding a horse and holding a spear.
Time to outlaw liberalism.
Replace with old white man working, and welfare types eating and sleeping.
Dear God, why don’t we just take down all 50 flags from every state and replace them with the obama logo one? Is this what they are working toward? These people are insane!
Our state flag has an image of a fellow by the name of George Washington. I guess we know what’s coming.
Fly the queer flag.
Hey, the Old White Guy is the new N****r!
Just like Blacks and Gays can do no wrong.
The Old White Guy can do nothing right.
If they had a sense of humor they could replace him with a Mexican doing the state house lawn.
Chinese propaganda poster from the Cultural Revolution:
"Destroy the old world. Forge the new world." A Red Guard
crushes the crucifix, Buddha, and classical Chinese texts
with a hammer; 1967.
Pretty much; and acceptable to boot.
The goal is to replace all states, counties and municipalities (including the national borders) with one central government controlled by the UN.
Outlaw it. Ban it. It’s no longer reflective of a society that votes for Muzzie representatives, communist senators and cartoonish governors. Replace it with a pink field, green trees and a hammer-and-sickle.
Yeah, make it a Black working in the fields...
They’re gonna replace it with a black woman swiping an EBT card.
Unfortunately NO, they are quite sane and lethal. It is opportunism and not letting a good 'crisis' go to waste. Liberals want to destroy all of the pillars of our formerly common culture and civilization because then they get to 'build' their dream world that, THIS TIME, will work because they won't make the same mistakes as the Nazis, Soviets, Pol-Pot, Mao or those slightly misguided guys in North Korea.
After all, they are intelligent, sincere and perfectly willing to kill anyone who says anything different! Just ask Bill Ayers his plans before he became a respected educator!
Past time. Long past time.
(1) Keep the working white man.
(2) Add an overweight black woman riding on an electric cart in Walmart.
(3) Insert a white politician between them. The politician would have his right hand in the white guy's pocket and be handing the black woman an EBT card with his left hand.
Eff them seriously. Enuf of the $hip.
Yeah, it is embarrassing for the leaches to depict the fact that the White man supports them.
