Following complaints from Native American groups, Minnesota's long-standing state flag and seal are undergoing an overhaul partly due to "racist undertones" supposedly on display. The state's 2023 legislative session led by Democrat lawmakers ordered both be changed because they've been deemed offensive to the Dakota and Ojibwe tribes as well as unattractive to the eye.

As it currently is, the historic 174-year-old seal—centered on the Minnesota flag—depicts a Native American atop a horse riding away into the sunset whilst a pioneer plows a field in the foreground with a rifle leaning on a nearby stump. "Native Americans have condemned this image for its depiction of a white settler encroaching on Native territory," the Minnesota Reformer wrote.

It is never about the issue; it is about the revolution. Malcontents never stop.

Why stop with replacing the flag and some stupid “land acknowledgements”? Just give all the land to those natives riding into the sunset 170 years ago.

Out here in AZ, Natives call those complainers “city indians”.

I suspect the Somali flag is in this states future.

[MNDude]

this really sucks

[Antihero101607]

Remember that time about two years ago when racism was ended after they erased Aunt Jemima, and Uncle Ben during black history month?

[Migraine]

I’m with you; looks like the Indian has the sodbuster surrounded.

Like the flag, BTW; never saw it before. It’s a little busy, but nice.

[Bookshelf]

How about a flag depicting burning cars?

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

That’s exactly what it is. The Indian isn’t riding away.

[Pontiac]

They know this how?

Well!

You can clearly see the cup of sugar that he borrowed in his hand.

One too many “K”s on that flag.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

No kidding. A warrior wearing a headdress and carrying a spear is riding across the settler's farm at sunrise. The farmer is unarmed and barefoot. I think in the next moment the Indian invited the farmer over for a "Welcome to the Neighborhood" feast.

Remove the Native Americans from the flag and the Native Americans will be pissed. Trust me on this one.

[Campion]

They can’t do that! They would have to evict the Somalis!

[Bonemaker]

They want to erase our history, our culture, our traditions, Americana and ultimately us.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Here is the new Minnesota flag. They have removed the White Man.

The Minnesota flag was previously available on Amazon.

Nope. Lefties are never ever to be trusted.
