Or, “Three Do Forty-Four”

While others have covered the symbolism of the new flag and seal for the state of Minnesota elsewhere, I believe that it would be illuminating for Heartlanders to understand how the new design will be implemented, and who was in charge of making the decision to jettison the state’s history and culture to satisfy a minority of perennially unhappy grievance-mongers.
Let us begin with the raw numbers. As of the 2020 Census, the racial makeup of Minnesota is 76% White, 7% Black, 6% Hispanic, 6% Asian, 3% American Indian, and 1% Pacific Islander. This represents a sharp drop from the state’s demographic profile, as Minnesota was 99% White in 1950, 97% White in 1980, and 85% White in 2010, but even after the monumental effort at diversifying the state, the vast majority of Minnesota’s population is still made up of European stock.
With those numbers in mind, it is surprising that of the eleven voting members of the commission which was given the task of redesigning Minnesota’s state symbols, five seats were set aside for representatives of the state’s non-White population. One seat was appropriated for a representative of the 7% of Minnesotans who are Black, another for the 7% of Minnesotans who are Asian or Pacific Islander, and another for the 6% of Minnesotans who are Hispanic. Most egregiously, two seats were set aside for appointees from the Dakota and Ojibwe tribes, and then, on top of that, two other voting members of the commission, supposed to represent the Capitol Parks Board and the general public, although appointed by the governor, have done little but brag about their Indian heritage.
Another voting member is a judge for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and has also been a strident advocate of the Indian view of Minnesota and her history. Counting this running-dog for the Indians, this makes five of the eleven voting members of the commission who represent the view and interests of the 3% of Minnesotans who are American Indians, or 44% of the board.
This is a degree of overrepresentation that would make a jewish Ivy Leaguer blush!
Add into that the other positions for the ethnic minorities of the state, and only three spots are available to represent the more-than-three-quarters of the state which is White. Of those remaining seats, no set-asides were made for the state’s German or Norwegian populations, let alone the Polish, Italian, or Irish, to name a few. Right from the start, there is no legitimacy for the new flag and seal for the State of Minnesota, and the lack of popular input only gets worse.
The bill which the Minnesota State Legislature passed and the governor signed into law establishing the commission, gave this commission a scant four months to redesign the state flag. For context, the recent Utah flag was redesigned over eighteen months. The bill also required that the flag and seal not privilege any community, which the Indian members and their allies were happy to ignore in order to insert Dakota language in the state’s seal instead of the mixture of English and French which it previously possessed.
Most importantly, the bill passed into law allowed for the adoption of the new state flag and seal on May 11th of this year, without seeking popular approval either through a state-wide referendum or a vote of the state legislature, even though the state Democratic Party, the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, controls both chambers as well as the governorship. Instead of even pretending to abide by the will of the people, a select group of Twin Cities activists will, absent action by the state legislature, be able to foist onto the state new symbols which ignored the history, the heritage, and the will of the vast majority of Minnesotans in order to pursue ethnic grievances against the population which made this state great.
The redesign of Minnesota’s state flag and seal are not immediately alarming issues. After all, outside of Texas and California, how many state flags are very memorable to the people of those states? The long campaign of centralization carried out during and since the Civil War has reduced states to mere addresses for many Americans. But understand this, the system of ignoring the popular will in favor of the new order will continue until it is stopped. State symbols, school curricula, and anything else which threatens to paint the heritage population of our states, regions, and country in a positive light will be discarded without even the pretense of democratic accountability. Minnesota’s old flag was not perfect, but it represented a real rooted history of the state and its people.
The age of compromising over our history is over, and not by our hand but by those of our enemies.
Fun fact – I have distant relatives living in areas such as Texas, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Montana, Minnesota… descendants of two sisters who were sweet sixteen, seventeen at the time when they left everything behind. Young, adventurous. Now remembered (or not) as their German grand – grand – grand – grandmas who once in the early 19th century left Bohemia – Sudetenland (ancient eastern European German lands of a thousand+ years of history torn off in the 20th century, as were all the eastern parts of the German Reich: Prussia, Pomerania, Silesia – due to WWII, the US meddling in continental Europe) to find a new life in far away lands over the Atlantic Ocean – in the New World, the promised land: called America! –
So I feel a connection to the Amerikaners, they are family.
SAD TO SEE how all white people are being gradually but surely dispossessed… in the lands they have cultivated, the nations and countries they have built. And the destructive forces at work have always been the same. Hidden, not even mentioned in the article above.
This is the beauty of MINNESOTA – Ten thousand lakes? Wow.

This is the beauty of rebuilt GERMANY – Risen from the ashes of WWII –

a total flattening of the country’s (160+) cities and infrastructure by allied fire bombing – Only a comparatively small territory, half the size of TEXAS left after massive land thefts in 1919, and 1945 – Two forced upon world wars by international Zionism – a war of extermination declared on the German people (on March 24, 1933), in extension on all the nations of the white race which has never ended – No peace treaty with Germany – about to be dismantled again… under constant attack by the same war mongers on top… …
No way this is a coincidence

Very similar, from the state with all the Somalis.
I wish I didn’t have to point out this grim reality but the notion that it was against the will of the majority of White Minnesotans is unfortunately not true. I chose the words “not true” rather than “false” because of the softer implication whereas “false” connotes a strong aversion. And that’s the issue. They have no strong aversion to this or any of the absolutely dire issues in MN stemming from the Twin Cities. Do people dislike the Somalis? Some. Are they troubled by the volcanic rise in black crime in the metro? I suppose. But the truth is Minnesotans just turn a blind eye to all of these ills because the cities are minority White (despite what the census will tell you, if you were to spend a day just leisurely driving around the metro and surrounding burbs you will see about 1/4 Whites and MOSTLY Somalis as they are more affluent than blacks and all have vehicles and have been foisted into nicer White communities in the suburbs. The Whites left in the city are predominantly shitlibs and fags), and they’ve all fled to rural areas where fishing, hunting, tater tot hot dish and all the other retarded Minnesotan cultural norms are still strong. But saddest of all so is football. The closes most of those White voters come with diversity is dealing with the security staff at the sports stadiums on their occasional trips downtown to splurge on niggerball events. These rural Whites are forever decked out in purple Vikings trash. They worship niggerball. And are only motivated to vote for Trump, the rest of their political will is almost non existent. The MNGOP cannot connect with these voters because the sort of personality necessary to combat these problems is too astringent and extroversive for the passive (usually passive-aggressive which the what the euphemism “Minnesota nice” refers to) rural MN palate.
MN is doomed.
I regret that I have but 1 upvote to give you.
If the Sanhedrin (HIAS, Alejandro Majorkas old outfit, etc.) would not graciously help out the underdocumented new Americans, I would think that Lutheran Church could claim at least silver medal in that sport.
Things of high value will be coveted, stolen, claimed or defrauded. Whether it is birds’ eggs in a tree, apples hanging near the road or stable, productive countries is a matter of scale, not principle.
Without Christian ideology, so expressed in the Sermon on the Mount, there would be an impulse to defend the future. But with a holy man in a flowing robe giving his helpful advice, this impulse is reversed.
Where am I lying? Myles? SuperLutheran? Buehler? Anybody?
