Harriet Tubman to replace Jackson on $20 bill

[amdhunter]

Now let's pray that they get rid of the God references next.

 

[waggy]

Meh, should have replaced Jackson with another Jackson, preferable Phil.

hmm :thumbsup:

I'm not gonna lie. I thought the thread title said tubgirl.

They are gonna put her on the two dollar coin, called the tubby, similar to your toonies.

 

[ElFenix]

Meh, Hamilton got a burr up his ass.

i award you 10 eakers points

 

[preslove]

Tubman was a badass

 

[Mayne]

tubgirl was even a badder ass if you ask me. Who could ever forget that image?

 

[lupi]

Jesus Christ, you are a fucking idiot.

And yet who's talking like a douche.

 

[edro]

Interesting read.
I honestly had no idea what she did or even which era she came from.
It's fine with me. We have enough white men on currency.

If Jackson was so bad, why was he voted on there to begin with?

WTF is wrong with you? <smh> :whiste:

You didn't learn about her in grade school?

 

[Printer Bandit]

Jackson was put on the $20 as warning by TPTB. They did the same when they put JFK on the half dollar.

 

[piasabird]

Someone that cant submit and get approved even one budget doesnt deserve to be on any monetary note. Instead of the saying E Pluribus Unum maybe change it to "It is Bush's Fault!"

 

[TwiceOver]

Meh, should have been Susan B.

2 birds 1 stone. This way we don't have to do this all over again in 3 years.

 

[bruceb]

Do not like the new look. And then I will need to trade in some current $20's for the newer ones or use them up fast.

Must be from the south. They've been trying to rewrite history there for a few decades now.

I'm a Yankee and we got about a paragraph and maybe a filmstrip about her. I know we never covered anything about her actions during the Civil War.

I hope they use a better pic than this:

Still better looking than Jackson.

Jackson and Tubman will both be on the bill, apparently.

And, there's been quite a backlash:

They have a better pic of Tubman.

She carried concealed firearms and was very religious. That wouldn't make her popular in some circles today.

 

[Miramonti]

Tubman was a badass

Her impact on the Underground Railroad was "worth remembering"? There's always someone willing to white wash it. Thousands were freed in the process.

 

[SparkyJJO]

I like that. The earlier suggestion of replacing Hamilton had me sharpening my pitchfork.


Hopefully this is next:

Absolutely not.

The first part of that link to that image says it all - stuppid (sic)

 

[echo4747]

Tubman is a solid choice.. but couldn't we just use a picture of Halle Berry and just say its Tubman? maybe future generations wouldn't even know

 

[Jodell88]

Meh, I'll say it again. Take everyone off of the currency.
