From a flag denoting the origin of the state, to one that is meaningly less to all who see it. It appears the new flag is very meaningful to Somalis. It means - We are succeeding in taking over.

It’s designed to look somewhat like the somalia flag. Somalis will see the resemblance. Americans with their heads up their anal exit passageway will not bother doing a Google search and will go on fat, dumb and happy until the next iteration of the somalia flag in Minnesota.

It looks like it was designed by a 24 year old and selected by a committee of bureaucrats.

That is the eight-pointed star which is the muslim star. It is being pushed in many states.

The 8 pointed Star is a common symbol in Islamic art and architecture. It is known as the “Khatim” or “Khatim-Sulayman,” which means “seal of the prophets” in Arabic. This symbol is often used to depict the Islamic faith and the unity of the Muslim community.

The outgoing flag has the motto ‘L’Etoile du Nord’, which Minnesota children know as ‘Toilet of the North’. Maybe change not so bad.

The 9 pointed star is a symbol of the Baha'i faith which promotes peace, equality and social justice.
And there ya go!
To: MinorityRepublican
...because putting up a white flag would be too obvious.

According to the demographics of Minnesota, it is 76% White. Good number of Somalis living there now. But they don’t have the numbers yet. The problem is that Minneosta is so woke.
To: MinorityRepublican
The Minnapilos Beltway is the problem. That is 1 State. Greater MN is a WHOLE nother one.

They might as well have a flag depicting the teeth of a democrat Pygmy cannibal biting into a human ribcage.
This would have been a more truer depiction of the inhabitants in Minneapolis. /spit

To: All
Despite praise from vexillologists, a poll found that just 23% of Minnesota voters supported switching to the new flag, while 21% supported replacing the flag with a different design and 49% wished to keep the existing flag. A criticism of the design is its alleged similarity to flags from Somalia; this criticism was rebuffed by the commission overseeing the flag redesign. Another criticism of the final design is that it is “plain”.
