Indigenous Peoples’ Day message from Mayor Ward

Press release from City of Gainesville

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Mayor Harvey Ward released the following statement today:

Today, we acknowledge the crimes and atrocities inflicted on our indigenous people over the past 400 years.

We must claim responsibility for our past in order to heal as a nation, and as a city.

We also celebrate the people and culture, especially of our Timucuan forbearers, for the contributions they have made to who we are as a community.

Harvey

  • Since they’re renaming holidays anyway, why not just call it White Guilt Day and atone for all the sins of white people on the same day?

  • Did he carve it into a Boulder or tree? Maybe he sent it by smoke signals?
    Otherwise, he’s just another commie hypocrite for using European culture to communicate that message…
    👺🤡👿💩👹 ACLUSPLCDNC

  • Why don’t we see any monuments or murals around town? Saying a few words one day a year and doing nothing more is pathetic. They should have put up a statue of a Native American (the kind from around here, that we killed off) instead of an African Chicken.

    • Mmmmm.🤤I love me some fried chicken 🍗 !

      They got a big chicken 🐓 in front of Krispy crunchy chicken near Waldo road too!

  • Today, we acknowledge the crimes and atrocities inflicted on our indigenous people over the past 20 years by having market place for all the homeless who show their appreciation by robbing, attaching stealing from the people who have to fund it for them

  • If he’s really serious, he should lead an annual procession of self-flagellants around the city.

      • Marge: “isn’t that what Christers do on Good Friday?”

        You’re a pathetic Marge….

        Jesus was a good guy and gov & the collective nailed him to a cross…

        They used fear to intimidate & control people…

        Don’t do what we say and you will end up on nailed to a cross as an example.

        Don’t take that Covid shot and you will not be able to engage in commerce.

        Say no to mark of the beast vax passports!

        I take solace knowing that you’ll be going to Hell for eternity with your face diaper on Marge!

        Please load up with boosters and keep that 😷 face mask on so you
        Don’t get us unvaccinated sick “Typhoid Marge”!

    • The commis can’t say 🎅 Christmas 🎄

      They can say Hanukkah, kwanza, Diwali, or holiday…

      Instead of holiday, they should say “festivus “ for the rest of us…🤪

  • HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY! All immigrants to America should celebrate Columbus Day. Columbus first emigrated from Italy to Spain, where he married a Spanish woman. He then used Spanish resources to do what mankind has done throughout its existence – explore and discover. Didn’t we just send a mission to Jupiter? Will this idiot mayor soon be declaring “National Space Aliens Day” to atone for our “crimes” against intergalactic beings?

    • The difference being that there was no welfare or state funding to give them everything on a platter for the entire period of European immigration. This land wasn’t “stolen”, It was conquered. No one was genocided, they’re still around to cry about their greatest warriors getting the brakes beaten off of them by what were essentially farm hands.

  • You should check on the amount each Seminole Indian receives each month . Hard Rock Cafe, etc

  • Happy Columbus Day! If there was a day for American Indians then salute it. I’m from an American Indian heritage and that is what WE say–American Indian!!

  • I didn’t give you flakes permission to go ahead and change Columbus day name and it’s meaning. It has always been and will always be known as Columbus Day. This is my country also, I fought and bled for it, and so did the rest of my family. What kind of skin in the game do you slime have in it? And, before I forget, what kind of a name is Harvey Ward ?
    From his actions and works, I’ll go out on the limb to say I’m thinking these thoughts when I read this name, (pedo, limp wristed, white soft handed air head. Perhaps I’m wrong, I stand to be corrected if you can show and prove me different! I believe that there should be a huge relocation after the election, all liberals to another blue state, just on. Our country be delivered back to the rest of us. By doing so maybe the stink will be sort of self contained, got it? good. Happy Columbus day and get out and vote, soon. Trump can clean them up.

  • When do we recognize the crimes and atrocities committed by natives on each other and Europeans?
