Harriet Tubman to replace Jackson on $20 bill

[pcgeek11]

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


Hopefully this is next:

If they put that fucker on a bill it would be just like the Nobel Prize that he received for reasons...

I wouldn't count on this Harriet Tubman on money thing.
Doesn't take effect for years. Plenty of time for another congress to nix the idea.
And we all know if anyone is going to appear on a bill of any denomination, it will be the one and only president Donald Trump.

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

Thanks for refreshing that faded memory you wise and beautiful woman.

 

[IronWing]

I never looked up tubgirl, nor two girls-one cup, for that matter. Lemon party taught me I don't need to see every meme.

 

[Miramonti]

Obama is going on the $5 bitcoin.

 

[Captante]

Tubman is a solid choice.. but couldn't we just use a picture of Halle Berry and just say its Tubman? MOST LIKELY THE CURRENT generation wouldn't even know

Fixed.

 

[OutHouse]

Just in time for when nobody uses cash anymore...

I've had the same $20 and change in my wallet for months now.

and the NSA thanks you.


Trubman is a good choice, but in my humble opinion Dr. King would be a better choice.

 

[OutHouse]

I hope they use a better pic than this:

yea it looks like she is about ready to beat somebodys ass.

I lived in the little upstate NY town called Auburn for a few years in the 60's and 70's and Harriet Tubman's home was a local shrine. I'm fine with her replacing Jackson.

 

[Leyawiin]

Bad choice, Jackson was one of the better presidents.

Was it the incompetence or the nepotism that impresses you?

Jesus Christ, you are a fucking idiot.

Actually, Queen Elizabeth II would be on the $20 bill if Andrew Jackson hadn't won the Battle of New Orleans.

Would you be happy if you and your entire people were forced into accepting unpaid intern positions for hundreds of years without the possibility to quit and look for work elsewhere?

my understanding is that the war was basically over at that point and new orleans had little to no baring on the outcome.

 

[skimple]

Meh, should have been Susan B.

She was on the dollar coin. So was Sacagawea. I'm sure you have dozens in your pockets. They're so popular....

Yup, the peace treaty ending the war was already signed.

Jackson was a fraud.

I loved the Sacagawea dollars and did my part to get them into circulation but eventually the local banks stopped stocking them so I couldn't get anymore.

this. Though he did throw a bitching keg party at the WH for his inauguration.

 

[zinfamous]

Absolutely not.

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

You'd prefer this guy, I guess?

and a black female freedom fighter would make the $20 bill more popular than Stonewall Jackson?

 

[Printer Bandit]

Have there been any movies about Harriet Tubman?

If not, which current black actress needs an Oscar?

wrong jackson.

 

[Jaepheth]

Could've put William Tecumseh Sherman on there, and Atlanta in flames on the back. We can call it a tribute to our shared cultural heritage.

Or Wehrner Von Braun! That guy knew how to shoot for the stars! (and London)

For sheer badassery we could put Oppenheimer on there, with a commemorative engraving of the Trinity test on the reverse, and replace In God we Trust with "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."

Jackson was a terrible president.

He instituted genocide with the trail of tears.

He instituted the "spoils" system where he gave government jobs to his loyalists, started a system of federal corruption that didn't get fixed until civil service reformin the late 19th and early 20th century.

He did away with the 2nd Bank of the United States, which led to a major economic depression.

Yup, the peace treaty ending the war was already signed.

Jackson was a fraud.

Seriously. He was only a "hero" because we got our asses kicked everywhere else 1812-1814.

Not that I know of. There really should be a movie about her leading troops on a raid to free hundreds of slave. It would be badass.

miniseries call A woman Called Moses with Cicely Tyson in the lead.
