Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 There is a movement afoot to change the Massachusetts state seal and flag because of the sword above the head of a Native American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Change history, obliterate tradition, rebuild anew, skew independent thinking to meet the approval of the collective. Sounds so 1984...but that is where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joke 'um Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Is that a real Indian on the seal or one of the Warren tribe? I can't quite make out the cheekbones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave history, good or bad, alone! LL I agree. Why is that indigenous human armed. That person is prepared to cause harm. I’m skeered... 1 hour ago, Fence Cutter said: Is it a brave?........ a squaw?....... Or a braw? That is a very good question. How does this indigenous person self identify sexually? This is very important. And that motto translates to “By the sword we seek peace, but peace under liberty.” We can’t have that. It’s too violent as well. We cannot be reminded of any violence or history and the indigenous people still feel threatened. They probably need casinos or money to make up for their indignation and strife. I propose this flag/symbol: It represents the white of winter, the green of summer and the darkness the indigenous people have seen and lived in for HUNDREDS of years.... It can also represent neutral gender in the “Pride” community so therefore the primal sexual identifier is covered... Oh, but wait. The white color is over the other colors so we can’t have that. It may cause some to seek a safe space and be skeered...perhaps the colors need to be re-evaluated. I believe I have found the answer: This one! It represents all the sh...uh, er, Crap everyone has to put up with regardless of color, race, sexuality, or any other bull $&@% we all have to put up with on a daily basis. Especially from these butt munching @$$holes that just can’t shut the &@$# up for one #%€&zing day about their &@$#ing feelings and issues!

Alpo Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Just so's you know. THIS is the Stars and Bars. What's in the field of that Mississippi flag is the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia. I've heard many people refer to that as the Stars and Bars. I've also heard it called the Southern Cross. But it's neither. It's the Battle Flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
