По мнению подписантов петиции, изображение св. Михаила, попирающего ногой сатану, напоминает убийство Джорджа Флойда — белый душит смуглого мужчину в цепях. Петицию подписали уже более 2000 человек.
Bumi Thomas, a Nigerian British singer, activist and specialist in visual communications, said the imagery on the badge was clear. «It is not a demon; it is a black man in chains with a white, blue-eyed figure standing on his neck. It is literally what happened to George Floyd and what has been happening to black people for centuries under the guise of diplomatic missions: active, subliminal messaging that reinforces the conquest, subjugation and dehumanisation of people of colour».
«It is a depiction on a supposed honour of the subjugation of the black and brown people of the world and the superiority of the white, a construct born in the 16th century. It is the definition of institutional racism that this image is not only permitted but celebrated on one of the country’s highest honours. Whilst statues are being pulled down and relocated, emblems and symbols of this nature also need to be redesigned to reflect a more progressive, holistic relationship between Britain and the Commonwealth nations» [#].
Зеленое драконье тулово и зеленые же крылья бедного «удушаемого ниггера» игнорируем. Как и белые крылья «белокурой арийской бестии».
