I saw this a while back. I think the story is that White (who the town is named after) had a famous wrestling match with the Indian and won, gaining him the respect of the local tribe. That's what the seal depicts.

I think it's funny because it looks like a 5th grader drew it...

As a lifelong resident of Whitesboro I support our proud commemoration of the historic first North American inter-racial, cross-cultural Man-Love.There is actually a series of seals that has the Native American in the more traditional rear doggy position. That's how our settlers rolled. Jessica Williams is a racist homophobe.

Same here. The easy compromise would be to depict a different wrestling move. That won't happen though.

Just change it, who really cares?
I feel like we're losing the forest for the trees on this one.

Google any pic of Mayo speaking and you'll see the new seal.
I'd like to see a similar pic of a previous mayor with the old seal behind him.

the Louisiana seal would make more sense if it was a white pelican feeding a bunch of brown baby pelicans.

Have all of the Indian tribes formerly apologized to each other for the hundreds of years trial conflict that occurred before any white man stepped foot on this land?

I can't wrap my head around anybody thinking it's an acceptable piece of artwork, regardless of what is being depicted. It's sad that SJW mentality even has to get into this at all. It looks retarded and ugly as hell.
Like even before there was any SJW hype, who looked at that seal and said "Yeah, that's great right there. I'm pretty proud to be associated with this."?

It's worse than that, as she is not feeding in the traditional sense. Those baby pelicans are parasites, sucking the mother pelican's (government's/state's) blood.

My feeling is, I don't care how racist or not PC enough it is. It should be up to the town to decide, not some Daily Show correspondent.
They feel like it's their mission to cleanse the world of anything they don't approve of.
It's the exact reason Lee Circle was voted to come.down.

Maybe so. Would you agree though it should be the town who chooses and not an SJW cleansing the world's ills.
