I seem to recall that this design was originally intended to show the two engaged in a friendly wrestling match, which was some historical event in this area. Even if that were the case, it really needs to go.

Trump will be building a golf course and 1200 room casino hotel there, a place for 90% of his supporters to go if they ever have any spare cash to pay to play.

Oh, my goddess – how offensive. In every way. (And I “identify as white,” though I am part Navajo.)

Humm I thought bigots only lived south of the mason-dixon line? Not really, some of the most vocal bigots I’ve met in my life in NC have been carpetbaggers.

Yep, funny thing is, they changed the seal in the 70’s to move White’s hands onto his competitor’s shoulders…

village seal which appears to show a white man throttling or chocking an Indian.
