Knowing the History of Andrew jackson and the Trail of Tears, It would have been MUCH more fitting for an American Indian or Indians Plural to be on the 20. It's American Indians for years who refused to take 20s and would take 10 dollar bills instead. You want Tubman fine, but I see native Americans are once again forgotten hereTo honor and recognize a historical figure that is both black and a women. It's a pretty meaningful thing to a lot of people, even though you may not give a shitWhy do people waste their time by writing crap like this? How about put energy into something useful?
Why is the government wasting time and my money chasnging the $20 bill?
As with most things the louder voices prevail... Historically there has been some love to the Native Americans on our currency...

Yeah thats true, they totally got some coinage, forgot about that. Its not really worth changing the twenty, seems kind of costly, but if they wanted to do it, thats just my opinion.As with most things the louder voices prevail...

Symbolism Instead of History
The real motivation behind replacing Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill.
April 28, 2016
Bruce Thornton
Replacing Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on the twenty-dollar bill is likely to be Barack Obama’s only lasting achievement. He certainly won’t be remembered for tangible benefits he has brought to black people. But like most progressives, useful political symbolism trumps reality.
In fact, Obama has done little for black people. Larry Elder lays out the cold hard facts: “The net worth of all non-white families has fallen almost 20 percent since Obama took office. For blacks, it’s even worse. The so-called black/white wealth gap is at a 25-year high––with black income down, homeownership down and equity down. From 2007 to 2010, blacks’ net worth declined 13.5 percent. But over the next three years––from 2010 through 2013––it plummeted another 34 percent.” And the black unemployment rate is 9.2 percent, twice that of whites. Black pundits, professors, and race-baiters have cleaned up on white guilt and vote-trolling Democrats, but blacks most in need have been abandoned.
Having done little for a majority of blacks, Obama instead has peddled the symbolic racial politics of outfits like Black Lives Matter, which claims that there is an epidemic of policemen wantonly gunning down innocent black men in the streets. Once again, fact is irrelevant to a movement whose goal is to leverage social and political power from the misery of black social dysfunctions. As The New York Post’s Michael Walsh points out, “Since the population of the US is about 318 million people, a thousand deaths at the hands of police works out to 1 in 318,000. You have a better chance of being killed in a violent storm (1 in 68,000) or slipping in the tub (1 in 11,500) than being shot by a cop, no matter what color you are. But even these figures are deceptive. Of those 965 killed, only 90 were unarmed, and the majority of those were white.” Meanwhile, about 5,000 blacks a year are murdered, the vast majority by other blacks. All we get in response from Obama are crickets and tumbleweeds. Once again, symbols are more useful than reality.

Myth-histories and identity-politics melodramas have displaced historical fact, and history is now a political weapon important not for truth but for advancing some ideological agenda.
...
But history today, hijacked by zombie Marxism and grievance politics, sees Western civilization as the sum of all evils. Such history is founded on Lenin’s famous “Who, whom”––who is the oppressor, who is the victim. History now is a melodrama of unmitigated Western evil, with innocent victims owed various sorts of reparations, and their ancestors’ sufferings publicly and serially recognized and validated by the larger culture. It’s not about facts or the larger contexts of human actions over time, or the permanent flaws of all humans, or the cultural principles and goods like human rights or representative democracy, innovations that distinguished the West and by which its ungrateful critics live today. Instead we get what Thomas Sowell calls “mascots”: those innocent victims who daily remind us of Western crimes and sins, and who for liberals represent their own superior morality and righteousness.
What’s lost with this cartoon history is the uniqueness of the West. The sins of the West obsessed over by the left are the sins of humanity everywhere, and can be found among every human community from tribal bands to great civilizations. Slaving, torture, conquest, violent appropriation of the land of others, and the occupation of their territory have all been practiced across the globe, from the Aztecs to the Mongols, the Zulus to the Sioux. But the goods of the West have been unique.
The idea, for example, that ordinary people could be citizens who speak and deliberate freely, and who vote publicly on the policies of their state, existed only in the city-states of ancient Greece. Today every regime on the planet, no matter how tyrannical or brutal, pays homage to the tradition of representative government by calling their thug-regimes names like “The Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea” or the “Islamic Republic of Iran.” So too with all the other goods most of the world professes, if not practices, today: The consciousness of freedom as an ideal to fight and die for, the notion of natural rights humans possess simply by virtue of being human, the equality of all humans before the law––these are just a few of the goods that took seed and grew in the West, and managed to survive their serial betrayal by Westerners who should have known better.
But now that we’ve abandoned real history, we substitute symbolic histories useful mainly for their transient political value and easy but superficial affirmation of politically selected victims. What’s lost is the memory of how the richest, freest people in history got that way. And that amnesia may lead to the loss not just of that wealth and freedom, but of all the other goods that define who we are.

Which is exactly what you are doing... I agree my statement wasn't very stimulating nor informative, however, if I smell horseshit I think its ok to say it stinksNope, not at all, you wrote crap calling an OP, crap, wasting time, irony.How so?

It states nothing of the kind... It was a movement to honor a historic female of our nations history. Simple as thatChanging our 20$ bill is simply stating our founding, our heritage, our society and history is wrong and must be changed.
We need to fight back, no more.

I know because I have been following the discussion over the past few months. Jack Lew wanted to honor the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment by putting a woman on the face of a bill. Why does everything have to be a partisan war?But how do you know?It states nothing of the kind... It was a movement to honor a historic female of our nations history.

Why do you anti-liberals have to pretend to be against everything that liberals do?

You are going to stereotype me and dictate how I think?Why do you anti-liberals have to pretend to be against everything that liberals do? Like you really give a shit about Andrew Jackson the Democrat...
Haha, you're looney... I was responding to your comment "Why do liberals need to change everything?" I refer to you as anti-liberal and then you get mad at me for the partisan attack?? Do you see the cray cray in that??You are going to stereotype me and dictate how I think?Why do you anti-liberals have to pretend to be against everything that liberals do? Like you really give a shit about Andrew Jackson the Democrat...
Andrew Jackson was a Democrat, Democrats back then are nothing like the liberal socialists of today that have hijacked the Democrat party. It is telling that you respond as if you think there is no difference.
More telling is how you think in such a narrow partisan way.
In your World, the parties must be polar opposites?
I see the lack of intelligence in how you stereotype people, and follow up by fabricating how I think, a bit bigoted are you, a little paranoid, or simply are dumb. I got mad at you? In your dreams and imagination, your tiny little comment required a seconds worth of thought then I was off to respond to the posts in my thread in energy.Haha, you're looney...

Get over yourself, your comment hardly deserved a response.
