Tubman to replace Jackson on $20 bill

[2aguy]

Hollywood is reacting without thinking...again...they do not realize that they are now cheering the removal of a democrat, (slave owner).....to be replaced by a right wing, christian fundamentalist , republican gun owner.......who may have actually shot some democrats.......

If she was an abolitionist in those days, she probably identified closer to republican in those days.

That would translate to a very vocal libertarian activists in today's standard.

Nope....
Real Republican.......not one of these Establishment pukes.

At one time Obama wanted to change the $5, 10, & 20.....but apparently somebody talked him out of it.

Really? Can you provide a link to that?

Didn't think so.

Here yah go....
Changes are being made to the back of those bills.

So shove it..

How horrible for you.....I guess you won't be using that money anymore when it comes out since it traumatizes you so.

Everyone will still use it. It will just be decorated.

People will be throwing darts at it.

 

[mudwhistle]

Imagine having this face on the $20 bill.

Well, that's what's gonna happen.

If this isn't a "Fuck You Whitey" statement from Obama, I don't know what is.

I swear, Big-Ears seems to want to spend the rest of his presidency pissing everyone off.

And they say Trump is an asshole.

I understand that people want to celebrate slavery in this country and this woman's contributions to end it, but for Christ Sakes....give us a friggen break!!!!

They have an entire month to talk about slavery, now they want to, in all respects, plaster slavery all over our money, forcing us to deal with it every time we go to the store.

I think this bill will be a limited edition.....because once they start showing up in banks, people are going to be pissed, and it will be changed back. My wife is black and she hates the idea. Imagine if the GOP decided to put a picture of Sarah Palin on the $20. You'd get the same reaction.

We'll see how this plays out.

:0) The question is .. who is "us."

If you mean neanderthal right-wing republicans like you :0) who the fuck cares if you don't like it.

You don't represent the majority, but rather a rapidly dwindling all-white political party on its way to becoming the Whigs. :0)

Who the fuck cares?

Racist.

Yes I have a major reaction to this. We just took a white male off the $20 bill to replace with a black female. Ok. Cool. Now when do we get a gay Muslim and a transsexual Asian??? I want a transsexual amputee midget atheist on one too.

Well, if you can find anyone in those groups you just mentioned that has contributed as much to our history as Tubman has, they should be considered.

I'm just going ask the bank to exchange all of my 20s for older ones. They will do that. I will personally pick the black teller when I do that just because I know it will piss off some 'liberal' who is watching.

Do you mean someone who has defied federal law? That sounds more like the Timothy McVeigh type if you ask me.

And that will accomplish ----- what exactly?

The ironic thing is nowadays most people use direct deposit for their checks and pay for stuff with either a credit or debit card or with a check.

Not about 8 years after the new bills are introduced, they won't.

There are "just" laws and "unjust" laws. You obviously don't know or care about the difference.. Tubman answered to a higher law that over shadowed federal law.

I'm fine with Tubman.

The tubby won't last a year. It will become doodle paper. The bills will be the repository of the worst kind of racist graffiti. Black people will riot, and all will be well.

Replace and ugly president with an ugly criminal ? Bad idea. If there is need to replace Andy J.why not use some real eye candy like maybe Miss America?

Yep.

I'm fine with Tubman.

I'm fine with her on her own denomination bill. $2 or $200 bill....I don't care.

Lowered the population of blacks. She should have been given a ship and a compass to point her back to Africa

When a currency starts out as a joke, it's downhill from there. You don't think I'm the only one calling it a tubby do you?
