Let's Bring Back Lady Columbia! [View all]

[Vogon_Glory]

Let’s bring back Lady Columbia, one of the older American avatars used to represent not only the spirit of America but also what our country represents! In these dark times she can be a symbol of who we are and what this country ought to be.

For those who don’t know, Columbia was the female figure depicted in patriotic art as rallying the patriots, being menaced by foes of freedom and the Union, and as a tool for military recruitment. She’s usually shown wearing a Phrygian cap and a red, white and blue shield. She was usually depicted as being a brown-haired Caucasian, and I’ll admit that depicting her as a light-skinned woman of Northern European ancestry is a meme that has passed.

I’m NOT suggesting using the light-skinned Lady Columbia again. If the Good Guys start using Lady Columbia, I’d call for an update. I’d say browner skin (Hey, she’s got at least some Native American ancestry. She ought to show it) and long black hair.


This might sound a bit like Wonder Woman, but she’s not. She predates Wonder Woman by at least a century, she’s in the public domain, and Donald John and his stooges can’t pressure DC Comics or DC’s owners to sue depictions of her like they can images of Diana Prince’s alter-ego.

She’s historical, she’s definitely not a straight white male nor one of those bottle blondes found in Donald John’s entourage and is a lot more inclusive than MAGA.
