Supposedly the White settler on the old-cuterent flag is offensive to tribal communities

so paint that symbol red....who cares

just no need to change a historical flag.

But it didn't. It showed a settler plowing his field and looking back over his shoulder at an Indian riding away.

Geeze, I was born, raised(somewhat) and lived there off and on and I couldn’t remember exactly what it showed. I was hoping they would show the state fish, mammal, bird, plant if they had to change it.

This is the flag causing all the controversy.

Just happy they didn't show a tranny and a motor being joined together on the flag.

There is a huge liberal movement to change our American Flag and our National Anthem too. The proposed flags are terrible, but even if they were fantastic, our Flag should be kept.

Darn shame. I spent some time in Southwest MN, some of the best and kindest folks in the country.

It looks like a Native Slavemaster on a horse with a Spear or whipping staffie
supervising a white worker to me

All in all a Great Flag

I thought he was attacking the farmer

It says the 'star of the north'....that is very offensive.

sure is...Wow

Honestly I think both the old and new flag are nothing worth writing home about. I liked the old school artistry and such, but on a real flag from a distance it was nearly indistinguishable from other similar flags. One of the last handful of finalists some real character and wouldn’t have minded it. Happy trapping! ScottW

Sorry sod buster being attacked, lol.

Maybe it's time for you conservatives to get out of Minnesota will the getting is good. Won't be long before the new tribes won't tolerate your presents their.....

You got the "presents" part right. Primarily, in the form of taxes!

i hate this state even more. been here 61 years!!!!

Sad to see this if the only reason was the original was viewed as “offensive” to some. But even more concerning if the underlying reason and the similarity to the Somalia flag is due to immigrants not conforming to America’s culture, political views, etc.. Immigration is supposed to be for people who want to be Americans not to bring their “culture” to America.

You can drive out, what is the hold up?

Not sure how people can live in a state like MN or even admit they do. LOL

But stay there please!!!! I still think a wall would be good, don't let anyone out.

Just like California. Beautiful lands and people are being destroyed by our government. Coming to a big city near you, then dispersing like locusts to where real people live.
