Harriet Tubman added to the $20

Juliet

Is this political correctness, Joe K?

“I had reasoned this out in my mind; there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty, or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other; for no man should take me alive; I should fight for my liberty as long as my strength lasted, and when the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me.”

I don't know what Joe thinks but my two cents is that Jackson (warts and all) marked a key turn in the evolution of our democracy and should be honored. OTOH, I think Tubman is worthy of being on our currency. So the answer is - er, er, er.....

While we're at it, I'm glad that Hamilton stays on the ten even if it's because the musical is a mega hit and not because he is the father of our banking and fiscal systems.

Juliet

The decision that a woman had to go on a bill is political correctness.
But given that, Tubman was a great call.

FYI, Jackson's still going to be on the $20. He's moving to the back.

Juliet

Is this the thread that saves this board from oblivion? Is it?

Juliet

More likely its the piglet thread but I am nothing if not self-absorbed.

Hextall

Now that a woman is on the $20, it'll only be worth $14.

Hextall

See, most people would expect me to make a 3/5ths joke here. But I went with the woman make less than men for the same job joke to placate future President Clinton.

Jackson liked to take the dirt road, eh?

Hextall

You know, they could have just averted this whole thing about putting a black woman on and keeping Jackson on there by just killing two birds with a single stone and put Janet Jackson on it. If you're nasty.

Buffco

Michael Jackson. Born a black male, died a white female. Win/win.

Hextall

If we really wanted to honor someone that killed the chances of a bunch of Indians, we should have replaced Jackson with Dan Synder.

Hextall

Is it too late to put Prince on the $20?

Juliet

He's now qualified

As someone on Twitter pointed out....


It's a shame the government relocated Jackson. A crying shame.

Warning and disclosure - I do not in any way endorse the politically incorrect factoid I am herein reporting. If you are easily shocked and do not have ready access to a Safe Space you may not wish to proceed:

There is a growing movement here in Pennsylvania to put our only native son President on the currency. This would require creating a $3 bill to honor James Buchanan.

I get it. But shop owners won't have to take them in North Carolina.

@#^ ? It will happen too. So sad.

We are still in San Diego (even though the Pirates have yet to show up) and man, what a cultural difference from UT! I'm almost dreading returning there.

Andrew Jackson's administration relocating Native Americans. The Trail of Tears being one route...

Hextall

I had reservations about that joke.

jbilly

I'd bet $20 she could kick the **** out of everyone here.

Most wimmens prefer "Come live with me and be my love,

None of my So Cal friends have posted a single fish pic. All the rain happened up north.

My friends down in long beach let their yard die. The whole neighborhood did. I wish I could do that
