Treasury to announce that Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on $20 bill

[pon]

yEAH YOU'RE RIGHT, LETS CALL IT LATINO EXCELLENCE...HOW MANY LATINOS ARE ON AMERICAN MONEY BTW???

go pop some champagne cuz

 

[southpawstyle]

Andrew Jackson would be happy to not be on a federally printed bank note. Probably same with Tubman.

But this current system of capitalism in america was funded by slavery.....

Breh, there is nothing you can do to educate me on this subject lol.

Slavery was a mechanism of capitalism, not the only mechanism. Its the same reason someone could be for reparations and for or against outsourcing and illegal labor in 2016.

The bar keeps getting lower and lower

A sign that more is in store for black people, nothing positive.

Soften you up for the kill.

I really don't like where this country is headed at all....

or she could say do both

hoteps

I don't think she would put herself first. I honestly don't think she would be acceptance of what blacks are dealing with in this country to want to go on money. You don't know and I don't know it's just what I feel.

That Hotep shyt suppose to be funny lol ... I got something for you though.

You've displayed a level of thinking so dumb that no one should care what you think.

 

[Rawtid]

Ha! This is reparations as far as they are concerned.

All I'm saying is Harriet Tubman would've never helped the union and instead moved to Ghana if people were to believe some of the characterizations in this thread.

Why does this feel wrong to you

Next will probably be a Native American on the 50 or the 100.


We might even get different faces all around on everything. Maybe Change will stay the same but it might not just stop at the $20 Bill

There is going to be a grip of females on the back of the 5 bill

1. Just because racist are pissed off, doesn't mean I should be celebrating the news. This completely ignores context.
2. If the treasury gave those reasons, it would be applauded, because people would be like, "Damn they actually want to honor her the right way." How would you answer the treasury's comments if they said they wouldn't put her on money because of those reasons?

This is not backlash because you put a black person on currency. You could've put Madam CJ Walker and it would've been met with applause. Your memorial to a freed slave, is going to be a picture - on an item used to buy and sell things - taken of her while freeing slaves, from being bought and sold like things. It's crazy.

You wouldn't name an USS carrier after a pacifist.
