I would think inflation and the plummetting economy would be two of the the top three priorities across America.
Followed by protecting our borders from invaders.

"It's interesting how Indians / Native Americans are being removed from everything."

When I was a kid, Native American nicknames and logos for sports teams helped get me interested in Native culture.

These people are retarded.

The Indian is IN A SHIELD and represents the Indian heritage of Massachusetts. (Where do they think they got the states name from?!)

The sword is NOT attacking the Indian nor is meant to infer violence on the Indian - it represents the spirit of fighting for liberty which these Marxist twits want to destroy.

The current state seal features the hand of English militia leader Myles Standish gripping a saber over the head of a Native American as if he’s poised to strike the indigenous person. Standish attacked multiple Native American settlements in the 1600s. Latin motto “Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem” outlines the seal. The motto roughly translates to: “By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty.”

Just plain dumb people. The armored hand with sword is an heraldic device from England and has nothing to do with the image of the Native America. They are separate and distinct parts of the state seal and have totally different symbolic importance. We really have sunk so low that we allow the most ignorant and hypersensitive people to call the shots in our country.

The crying shame of the matter is that if it were not for Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, there never would have been a United States to begin with. You cannot swing a dead cat in those places without hitting some site or landmark associated with our sacred Revolution and now so many of their citizens want to throw their birthright of freedom out the window.

If the libtards, criminals, and welfare grifters in this state could be euthanized it wouldn’t be a bad place to live.

The arm with sabre is a very common symbol in heraldry.

Here are examples of two real Hungarian coats of arms. I guess they don't like muslims. Seriously, the real deal:

Elizabeth Warren should be outraged.

That’s her great-granddaddy depicted on the Massachusetts state flag.

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.

Yes, MA banned slavery, but they also went out of their way to keep black people from living in the state.

I live in this state.

The people who run this state are blathering idiots.

Now we will spend tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to rebrand this emblem which was perfectly fine.

These people are mentally ill. There is no question of that.

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

Start a petition to change every street name, town, village, housing complex and waterway name to something else. That will stop this right in its tracks.

Boston is easiest the most racist city I ever lived in. I don’t think it’s changed much in 20 years.

You need to read some more history. Just a little more. Get past the 1740’s.
