Florida's first people.....

Ok, I have a serious problem here.. I am actually shaking as I write this. I called the Nana and had to hang up the phone because I realized I was WAY to upset to talk about it......

So, what Has me so enraged????? Take a look at the banner on the boat, it says "Hispanics Discovered Florida".. Ponder this thought, how can you "discover" a place that is already populated by a thriving culture? Many tribes of Indigenous people who had lived for centuries CONTENT in their culture, but of course the arrival of the "European" explorers would bring changes that would irreparably damage their lives! Diseases brought by these strangers decimated the unsuspecting Natives, the banner doesn't say that.... DOES IT, Nope....

We have taken just about everything possible from the Native Americans, and now we are writing them off? Erasing them from history, to sell some car plates, I DO NOT THINK SO.

I, am protesting this completely! IT FUCKING WRONG, every bit of it. Hispanics did come here, no denying it, look around, you can't. BUT YOU WERE NOT HERE FIRST, and if you did discover FLORIDA, why are we speaking English as a primary language?
