Harriet Tubman on the $20 Bill

[LordEgg]

I've always thought it ironic that jackson was on a reserve note anyway.

 

[rabidcatfan]

Seriously. Pretty badass when you read about her. She escaped slavery then risked her freedom to help others. Meanwhile I won't risk my matching Tupperware pieces by lending them to friends - they can have leftovers in old Walmart plastic bags.

She is quite the historical figure and I'm all for her being honored in such a way, but I think it should be in commemorative $1 coin form like Susan B. Anthony, not on the most used large bank note in the U.S.

BTW, People who say that they don't care about who is represented on our currency are the same people who don't care that our country has been reduced to a laughing stock thanks to the current administration. You have to care if you want to maintain the freedoms that we enjoy. That being said, if you disagree with my sentiments on Tubman being on the $20 bill, then that is fine, just don't say you don't care either way, because if you didn't care then why'd you even read the thread?????

I have thought that as well. I've thought for a while that he should've been replaced by John Adams or Thomas Jefferson.

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

I don't care either way. And I opened this thread just to say that.

I never said I didn't care, I just noted that most expressed that sentiment. I think it's pretty fantastic, frankly, although it's nowhere near the top of my priority list. What is your criteria for being on the $20 as opposed to commemorative $1 coins that no one cares about? Why? Mine would be a significant positive contribution to American history, full stop, because our country is awesome precisely because people were vigilant in making it so. It's not always been perfect, and people have, and do, strive to make it amazing. Recognizing someone who made it better is a recognition of what made, and makes, this country great.

BTW way to slip in a "freedoms" and "laughing stock" and "current administration" in a thread about Harriet Tubman on the $20 (and an implied value judgment - I see what you did). You missed "PC" and "little girls in bathrooms with men in dresses" in your mini-rant, though, so only 6/10.

Putting women on coins and men on the big bills? Something something glass ceiling.. Or nickle ceiling..

Wakka wakka

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I can see why it was Jackson though, Dude was kind of a POS.

 

[Perrin75]

Using this $20 will really feel like I am doing my part to promote both the equality of women and civil rights in this country. Especially when I am putting it into a stripper's g-string.

 

[hoojyoutlaw]

More deserving than that tyrant, Jackson.

 

[catsfanbgky]

I knew he would face some sort of recourse after the "they spose to be SEC" comment. Big Blue Nation strikes again. Moral of the story, do not eff with UK fans, even your spot on US currency is not safe.

That's why Rand gets shit on too

 

[qwesley]

Loved guns and not a lesbian, she will be replaced within 40 years.

 

[MegaBlue05]

It still spends the same, yes?


I've never once given a single shit about whose face I used to buy some dope, hookers or hamburgers.



Seems like another reason for pissed off old dudes to be pissed off old dudes.

 

[DSmith21]

Opera singer, Marian Anderson is the new face on the $5. Never heard of her. Plus a bunch of other new female faces. No black men, Asians, or Hispanics. I am sure that the money will spend the same though.

Obviously brother. Hey let's shit on Rand, but let's keep this Cruz and Rubio! Effing great idea!

Put it this way, if Andrew Jackson were president in 1911, he would pissed in the face any person promoting the federal reserve.

 

[MegaBlue05]

If we're speaking of Rand Paul, it's hard for him not to get shit on.

Dude's exactly asshole high in terms of height.

Rand Paul will be our prez one day

 

[vhcat70]

Despite the controversy, you gotta admit it's a bad-ass pic they're using (shamelessly stolen from Twitter last night)...

That's what I'm talking about! Replace a racist, slave-ownin Dem Party founder with a freedom lovin, gun totin Pub! No better way to show the pc crowd!

Don't sheet on my man, AH.

How has inflation not hit the strip clubs? $20 for a lap dance in 1990 and still $20 today?

songs have gotten shorter

 

[Desperado_1955]

I'm in favor of making a $25 bill, then they can put whoever the hell they want to on it. By God, Mean Ol' Andy Jackson is on the $20, and it's HIS.

Yep, Blue Ballz may not fully understand stripper economics

Ummm... No he wasn't.
