Tolkkinen: Minnesota has become a state with two flags

No…

We have one flag. There’s an old flag that hasn’t been replaced or is being held on to by racists and curmudgeons.

That’s it.

I see a lot of businesses that went hard into this, buying pristine new versions of the old flag and trying to make some kind of statement by it.

Only statement they made is that they don’t want my money. And that maybe they hate Native Americans and have a kink for slavery.

Just get used to this one. It is a better look all around.

It was an instant classic when written and relevant since the Obamas took the big stage last night.
