Harriet Tubman - $20?

[there4eyeM]

Has anyone ever seen a human who wasn't a color?

Your sig line description says you're an unlicensed metaphysician.

At this rate you are NEVER going to get that license.

Yeah, pretty much resigned to that fact.

Meh. PC pandering is both silly and unnecessary.

Tubman on the 20 demonstrates the importance of black folks in our shared history.

Its a small gesture. But still too much for those that think that our money should only include old white guys.

Not surprisingly you are missing the point. No one debates the woman's bravery. You are turning it into an "old White guy" narrative. It is a small gesture and the gesture appears to be the middle finger to another brave important figure from our history.

Tubman is getting the 20 because its a commonly used bill. You're inteprettting it as a middle finger....when the $20 has had lots of different iterations. Hamilton used to be on the $20. So was Washington. So was Grover Cleveland.

There's nothing sacrosanct about Jackson. He had his time on the $20 and now its someone else's turn.

Don't worry. Old White guys are still *really* well represented on our currency.

What "shared history?" The totally unnecessary Civil War? What if Black savages in Africa did not capture and sell other Blacks to Jewish slave traders and sell them in North and South America? Cotton and sugar harvesting actually had very little to do with America from the 1600's forward to the mid 1900's when fake scientist Einstein, etc. propaganda took over. All the chemical industry was invented by Dutch, German, Italian, French, British, Swedish, all White innovators. They received no Nobel Prizes, but fake asses receive them all the time now. It is racist now dismiss Black and Jewish contributions to the West, especially since both inherently hate the West.

So, StormFront.....will you touch a Tubman $20?

Indians raped, murdered and dismembered his first wife.

No, they didn't. His wife, Rachel, died right before he was inaugurated. There was a scandal because she hadn't quite secured a legal divorce from her first husband.

Why not Dick Best? Hero of the battle of Midway or Patton?

Dick Best sounds like a porn star name.

Patton was kind of a racist.

The Problem With Trump’s Admiration of General Patton

“Old Blood and Guts” was undeniably a winner. The real trouble came after he won.

www.politico.com

Disturbingly, Patton had zero sympathy for the Holocaust victims living in wretched, overcrowded collection camps under his command. He was unable to imagine that people living in such misery were not there because of their own flaws. The displaced Jews were “locusts,” “lower than animals,” “lost to all decency.” They were “a subhuman species without any of the cultural or social refinements of our times,” Patton wrote in his diary. A United Nations aid worker tried to explain that they were traumatized, but “personally I doubt it. I have never looked at a group of people who seem to be more lacking in intelligence and spirit.” (Patton was no friend to Arabs, either; in a 1943 letter, he called them “the mixture of all the bad races on earth.”)

The orders from above—Eisenhower wanted him to confiscate the houses of wealthy Germans so Jewish survivors could live in them—embittered Patton. His beloved Third Army was decaying as troops decamped for home, discipline vanished, and meanwhile, “the displaced sons-of-bitches in the various camps are blooming like green trees,” he wrote a friend.

He saw journalists’ criticism of his handling of the Jews and the return of Nazis to high official positions as a result of Jewish and Communist plots. The New York Times and other publications were “trying to do two things,” he wrote, “First, implement Communism, and second, see that all business men of German ancestry and non-Jewish antecedents are thrown out of their jobs.”

I don't care who I snort coke with on my twenty dollar bills.

I'm sure you don't.

I think that it's about time that a woman and one of color is on our paper money.

Where is it written that it has to be a white man?

Here in one with a woman of color, and not color.

I'd a lot rather see Aunt Jemima on the $20 than that hideous Tubman woman!

The actress who played Aunt Jemima was far far better person than Tubman.

Harriet Tbman is known to have rescued 70 enslaved people, some of which were her family and friends.

How is that worthy of being reflected on our currency?

Clara Barton is far more deserving...

Tubman was PAID to talk her family into going with her to the north.............many of her "marks" refused to go with and many others opting to abandon her and return back to their slave homes. tubman's motives were never to rescue anyone but to be paid for each head that she brought back.

 

[there4eyeM]

Those represented on currency have been Presidents or other notables in the governance and/or forming of the nation. Honoring Tubman some way may be appropriate, but on a bill such as this seems out of place.

 

[Canon Shooter]

I think putting Tubman on the $20 bill is a fine idea. She risked her freedom and her life to save countless others. She's the true embodiment of a hero.

Actually, you can count them. Despite ridiculous claims to the contrary, she helped rescue about 70 people...

No now. There are histories we are never told about. How about Columbus on the twenty dollar bill?

I wonder if any of these idiots know how much it costs to make that change, or if they are even aware of the fact that everything the gov does like this costs taxpayers?

If this only makes it harder for new counterfeit money to be made, I have no complaints.

God bless you always!!!

Holly

P.S. The only counterfeit money that I have never come into contact with before are the one dollar bills and the fifty dollar bills.

I can't see how it would make counterfeiting any harder. Also, I don't think anyone counterfeits one-dollar bills, because they cost more to make than they're worth.

And the pointed heads of liberals detonated throughout the land...

If they put Tubman on the $20 bill, I'll simply carry more fives and tens...

In 245 years, with the exception of Benjamin Franklin, US currency has had dead presidents on it. I would not be adverse to Tubman being put on the 1$ coin--It seems to be the coin that has been chosen to highlight non-presidents--Sacajawea. Coinage has featured non-presidents many times during our history--native Americans, First ladies and so on. I think currency should feature dead presidents ONLY

Biden administration will revamp effort to put Harriet Tubman on $20 bill

The Biden administration is taking steps to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill.

Poor Andrew Jackson. Then again who still uses money? Its mostly electronic these days. Still replacing a former president just to feed the leftists hunger seems like a horrible idea. I would not have an issue creating a $25 bill with HT on it.

BTW, I still use cash. I don't own an ATM card and I believe in keeping a good stock of precious metals--platinum, gold-----lead.

I barely ever. All electronic just about

My daughter tells me I'm a dinosaur, but so be it. Had a bad experience with ATM in the late 80's or early 90's and I figured cash has always worked with no problems and it continues to this day.

Dude, neither Ben Franklin nor Alexander Hamilton were ever President.

We need to get rid of pennies and nickels. It currently costs 2.06¢ to make a penny. Every time a penny is minted, the government loses over 100% of that penny's value. We should also get rid of nickels, as each nickel costs 7.53¢ to make. We lose just over 50% of the nickel's value simply by making it.

Approximately 30,000,000 pennies are minted every single day. Let's round the cost down to 2¢ per penny. That means that, every day, the US Mint is losing $1,500,000 making pennies. In 2017, the US Mint lost $69,000,000 making pennies. Certainly we can forego the appeasement issue of replacing Jackson with Tubman and, instead, focus on something which is actually important and matters.

Let's focus on the mind-boggling fact that we lose money every time we make it...

It's a time-wasting deflection. Do you REALLY think that making black people feel important is, or should be, the priority right now?

Diddling around with "small gestures" that have no real meaning at all is something one does when all the ACTUAL issues have been dealt with.

But thanks for showing us what a racist YOU are.
