FoxNews ^ | January 23, 2016

An upstate New York village has decided to change its official logo Friday weeks after residents decided to keep it despite critics calling it a racist emblem.

Whitesboro’s logo appears to show a white man choking a Native American. A non-binding vote earlier this month saw residents vote 157-55 to not change the current seal. A timetable for a new seal has not been determined.

Village officials and members of the nearby Oneida Indian Nation will meet to discuss the creation of a new image, Mayor Patrick O’Connor said

how about an emblem, with a nice friendly circle, and filled in with some UN approved mauve or beige color

that should not frighten, offend, harm, scare, intimidate
or otherwise, cause some fn liberal to scamper off shrieking to a safe zone.

Free speech? Not for white people. We had Trump for a moment, then he caved.

“the current logo is wrong..”

Why is that? It’s their logo. Same as the Confederate flag became the symbol of the South.

We’ve been watching this on the local news for the past month or so and questioning how the Town Board can override the will of the residents/taxpayers overwhelming vote in favor to keep it. No doubt the Town Board has been infiltrated by NYC liberals, which seems to have become the norm up here.

If the logo were reversed (the Indian appearing to be overpowering the white man) then this would never have been an issue.

Interesting, the seal has a historical significance.

More evidence of the brainless PC minded leftists wanting to erase history.

Betcha the left would rather see on the seal a couple of non-white muzzie homo’s dissecting a still living white aborted Christian baby while smoking pot in front of a Soviet flag.

So many leftist bases would be covered there they could not possibly refuse it. It’s such a good idea Hitlery should adopt it as her new campaign logo.

Or not. Curious the depiction can be interpreted as highly benevolent or highly homicidal.

The French missionaries named them “savages” for a reason. And, it wasn’t their bad table manners. It was because they ate their enemies children, raped the girls, and blinded the men so they would require care.
