Treasury to put Tubman on $20: Official

[Milchshake]

When I first saw her picture on the bill I thought it was the same person on the aunt jemima pancake box.

reason why we need black history month.

[Skroe]

I look forward to some miscellaneous Transgender Latino showing up on the $50 some day.

Once the Obama Administration is out of office, they should go work for Marvel Comics. The two have the same mindset about stunt casting.

[Tijuana]

Im trying to make this happen, stop trying to stop make this happen

I'm not against it. Go make one, to kick it off.

[Gib Lover]

And certain people didn't view Slavery as reprehensible while it was happening? Wasn't that the whole point behind freeing the slaves?

I mean that was decades later, but don't let facts get in your way.

[Snakehead]

reason why we need black history month.

As long as I can still buy her tasty pancake mix she has my support.

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

Canadia seems to still dig her, based on their money.

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

How was a lady who didn't create the first flag and is basically a fairy tale more relevant?

Your view that those who fight against injustice, even if the injustice is legal, are not part of who we are is just astounding.

[endersblade]

That concept art looks terrible lol.

Other than that, I'm all for this. I mean, I never pay attention to who or what is on my money, but at least it isn't some old white dude anymore.

[Hooked]

This news makes me want to vomit.

[Tijuana]

Now discovering that it will be Harriet Tubman, my reaction remains "And?".

Also, Jackson did some fucked up shit. But he also was for keeping the debt manageable. He gets respect for that.

So, Germany should forever be referred to as Nazi Germany then?

No, but you were quoting, "Its morally wrong to judge American ancestors for things like Slavery?", so yes, we will forever judge German ancestors, those who were Nazis, to be shitty people.

[Seiklis]

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

Wrong. That would be Edith Wilson after Woodrow Wilson's stroke

[Kujako]

My bad, was the 1$ that had Martha Washington on it. Thought that was the 2$...


Overall I still thing they are some of the nicest looking currency from any country.

[McFuu]

That 5 Dollar Piece, my god give us that. That is art.

OT:
I honestly don't know enough about Harriet Tubman to say if she should be on the $20 bill. I did a quick wiki read:
For the most part, she seems a bit "blue collar" to be on currency. This isn't a limited run golden dollar coin we are talking about here.

It's hard to judge someone for what they accomplished in their lives and in what way they accomplished them, but even within the abolitionist movement, there are better candidates. Frederick Douglass is a huge standout. Her association with John Brown should be enough to take her out of this kind of honor, the man was seen as a terrorist by both sides of the Mason-Dixon.
This feels a bit of a PC move.

Although I really don't care either way, they could put Bert Reynolds on the $20, as long as it is still worth $20.

[Brubear]

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

Like who, and why are they more influential then the woman who created the Underground Railroad and is one of the two or three people you first think of when abolition and the freeing of slaves is mentioned?

[starlord]

in after all the closet racists.


anyways, i'm glad he's off there, don't care as much who replaced him.
harriet is a good pick though, the underground railroad is legendary.

for those wondering why jackson gets all the hate: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_of_Tears
he basically put most of the east coast indians, known as the "civilized tribes" because they wanted to adapt and live in harmony with the whites, on a death march after seizing their land.

[IIamaKing]

Meh, cant remember the last time I actually looked at the portrait on a bank note.

[Wyrt]

Replacing the 20 was the right choice.

[Aori]

No idea what you people keep throwing around, this is what my money looks like.

[Self Inflicted Wounds]

They should just put supreme leader Clinton on ALL the money, since thats what shes about, kek.

[Tikaru]

Who carries cash often enough to get upset over this?

[Paranoid Android]

Glad Hamiltion stayed on $10. Glad Jackson is gone. It still should have been Eleanor Roosevelt. Maybe some Native American. I can live with H. Tubman.
