On Tuesday, Indigenous tribe representatives, Massachusetts senators, legislators, historians, archivists and other members of the 19-member state seal and motto commission, unanimously voted to recommend the change of what some consider an “egregious” state seal and motto, WGBH reported.

Change it to a human rear end with the motto…..

We’re Full Of These

the new seal will feature a dead white man full of arrows and missing his scalp.

Hard to believe that the forebears of these pussies once stood against government gun control and overthrew the world’s preeminent empire of the day.

MA is the only state in the Union to have outright banned slavery the day they ratified the Constitution, yet I’ll bet the self-hating liberals there still think of themselves as racist.

The flag accurately reflects the reality that the settlement of Massachusetts involved war and conflict.

The irony is that it makes white people look like vicious killers, so getting rid of it just covers up their savage acts.

Native Americans should want the true history to be shown.

Well that’s an important issue🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Its interesting how Indians / Native Americans are being removed from everything.

Sports teams, Hollywood movies, corporate logos and advertising, state flags - they are truly being “cancelled.”

For next generations, they will simply not exist, except in whatever history TPTB want to tell at that time.

Wait, what? You mean the first immigrants* weren’t just lounging around getting stoned with their friends all the time?

*pretty sure nobody’s been here forever. But, that could be a “SWAG”.

When I lived in Boston ‘70 - ‘85 a big joke was noting blacks generally could not pronounce the name of the state. Mass-a-ma, Mass-a-ma, Mas-a-ma-toosis. Bigoted State.

That’s some horrible writing from that news site: “ ... which depicts a Native American with a saber dangling above their head.”

MA is the only state in the Union to have outright banned slavery the day they ratified the Constitution...

What? The legislature in MA never passed any law banning slavery. They sold slaves in Quincy Market. They were major players in the slave trade.

So a seal proudly featuring an Indian warrior is now anti-Indian?

[Celerity]

Do you know how hard it is for me to get a flag and remove 6 of the stars?

Assachusetts, New Jersey, New York, California were my first but now I don’t consider Rhode Island or Connecticut.

Illinois and Pennsylvania are also on the chopping block.

There are parts of Texas, Washington, Oregon, Ohio, Idaho and Louisiana I would rather sell too.

[Seruzawa]

And whale trade. Lol.
