> What a stupid fucking state.

How appropriate for Minnesota. They lack the imagination to come up
with a decent flag, so they come up with an even more insulting
abomination, "DESIGNED BY NIGGERS".

Minnesota unveiled a new state flag Tuesday after the original flag
drew criticism for its design and depiction of Native Americans.

The State Emblems Redesign Commission said it selected a new flag
that features a white North star on a dark blue shape of Minnesota.
The flag’s light blue background represents the state’s waters,
according to the commission.

Minnesota artist Andrew Prekker, whose design formed the basis of
the new flag, said it felt “surreal” to have his design chosen.

“It’s such a rare privilege to be able to contribute to our state’s
history in such a special way like this,” he said in a statement on
the commission’s website. “It’s an achievement that I hope brings a
lot of unity and pride to our land, and I will hold that fact with
great honor for the rest of my life.”

Luis Fitch, chairman of the commission, told CNN Monday he hopes the
flag will bring Minnesotans together.

“My goal is to unite with this flag, not to separate us more,” Fitch
said, adding that he hopes “any culture can relate to it.”

The previous design of the Minnesota state flag had drawn criticism
for both its design and its depiction of Indigenous Americans, CNN
previously reported.

In May 2023, the Minnesota state legislature passed a bill to
redesign both the flag and the state seal. But there have been calls
to change the flag dating back to the 1960s, CNN previously
reported.

Critics have long taken issue with the state’s seal and flag over
its depiction of a Native American on horseback at the center of the
seal, which is viewed by some to be a reference to the displacement
of Native people throughout Minnesota’s history.

The final flag design was selected from 2,500 public submissions,
which included homages to popular Minnesota state symbols like the
state bird, the loon, and the monarch butterfly, CNN previously
reported.
