Treasury to put Tubman on $20: Official

[Healing Rain]

Should have put Nancy Reagan on it imo if they were bent on putting a woman on it.

If you guys wanted a woman on your money so badly, you could have just accepted Her Maj as your rightful ruler once more.

Can you give any good reason why?

[Stormdash]

Not!Sanger is today's small win.

[Vanyali]

Can you give any good reason why?

She WAS married to god, after all.

[Kujako]

Can you give any good reason why?

She was the first female president while her husband had alzheimer's?

Honestly I am unsure why the 20 though, Jackson was actually a president and most of our currency features past presidents. I would have rather seen Teddy Roosevelt or Franklin D. Roosevelt added to the 20.

And replace Hamilton on the 10.

Hamilton is far more important to the history of our finances than Jackson though, and doesnt have the genocidal history. Also, we also have Ben Fenklin ont he 100, so its not just Presidents that are on our currency.

[Orlong]

I'm glad they decided to get rid of Jackson instead of Hamilton.

They shouldnt have gotten rid of neither of them. Both are more important than Tubman. If they want to put her ass on a bill, then make a new bill to put her on like a $7 bill or something. Whatever happened to freaking tradition

I think he means they should have replaced a bill with a non-president on it with a non-president, like the 10 or the 100.
Also, this just reeks of "Historical figure did bad thing that was kinda sorta acceptable/encouraged at the time, but isn't now so we must villainize them."
but cash is for losers so I guess I don't actually care that much.

Well the 10 is really out of the question, considering it would be absolutely bonkers to replace someone who was incredibly important for our financial history on our CURRENCY with someone who was not. I could see an argument for the 100, but then you'd have to replace all those rap songs...

[Jester Joe]

INB4 Harriet Tubman shaming your for things that cost twenty bucks memes.

Honestly that's exactly what I was gonna say. If they used that picture for her, she looks so disappointed.

But kinda glad actually to see this went somewhere finally.

Yeah, I agree Hamilton needs to stay, I was just clarifying what I think he meant.

[Sky High]

Would you spend your 20s on dumb shit with that face lookin at you? No! You will spend that 20 on important things.

yeah, using it as a cocaine straw.

[Orlong]

Maybe because there were more influential women in history? Gee ever think about that? Fucking SJW thinking they know everything.

Yeah, if they are going to put a woman on a bill it should be Betsy Ross, She so much more important to our history than probably any other woman and infinitely more important than Tubman. Yeah slavery was wrong and detestable, but it was still legal so she is being praised for breaking the law. She is nothing more than what we call coyotes today

Technically, all the guys that signed the Declaration of Independence were breaking laws too. :x

I just like teddy Roosevelt more, he should be on the 20.

Oh I love Teddy too. Park system wooo! \o/ Id prefer him over Tubman, but since we're determined to have a woman on a currency, may as well replace Jackson instead of the others who are less objectionable form a policy standpoint.

NO! What they did was pure and legal and right and god was on their side! *waves a tiny flag*

[Jester Joe]

And in addition, I'm pretty sure the fact that her "breaking the law" at the time makes it even more significant, because she risked her own life to help others.
