If the Left has accomplished anything, it’s convincing many people that any logo with Native American imagery or symbolism is racist — even if such art is meant to honor them. It was the case with the Cleveland Indians, Marquette Warriors, and Washington Redskins logos. Now, apparently, such is the case with the state seal of Massachusetts, which features an indigenous man holding an arrow in one hand and a bow in the other. Earlier this week, a state commission voted to recommend replacing the seal because of its alleged offensiveness.
Opponents of the flag have labeled it the “last state flag of white supremacy.” It’s typical hyperbolic left-wing outrage. It’s also an ignorant statement, given that it was under the symbol of a Native American that Union troops fought to defeat actual white supremacy during the Civil War. Such assertions are even more ridiculous considering that Massachusetts was one of the first states to have a regiment of black troops who fought in the Army, the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. But, like some kind of cult, to the Left, the facts of history don’t matter.
