Voters Decide On Controversial Seal

Do you recall on Monday, when I talked about the New Bedford City Seal with the Latin phrase "Lucen Diffundo" which translates to "We diffuse the light." I even mentioned the fact that with the Dartmouth Town Seal, nobody around knows how the town came to have a modified version of an English lord's family crest as its official insignia. I did this as a preface to the unusual story, that has received national attention, about a small town in New York State, named Whitesboro, whose controversial seal shows a white guy either wrestling or strangling a Native American.

So, the voters of Whitesboro went to the polls on Monday to decide whether to keep or change the seal. And after all the votes were counted the final decision was to keep the seal as is, by a whopping 157 - 63 margin. What do think about this? Do you believe the seal is racist or inappropriate because it portrays a white man with his hands around the throat of a Native American?
