Too bad for them almost no one is doing so
Left pretty excited to see racist Americans recoil at $20 bills featuring Harriet Tubman
You almost wonder if they did it just to bait certain people into racist reactions, because boy, what a story that would be for the race-baiting left and their media allies in a presidential election year. Defeat the Tubman-hating racist Republicans!
Of course, there’s nothing at all wrong with Harriet Tubman being on the $20 bill, because a) she was a perfectly admirable historical figure; and b) it doesn’t matter in the slightest whose face is on your money. This is the sort of meaningless sybolism the left loves to pick fights over, and in this case they’ve already started attacking all the “right-wing racists” before any have even come forward. Occupy Democrats got the ball rolling yesterday:
I bet Tubman was a Republican- we should let them carry on about Tubman and then when the nit-wittery hits fever pitch say “Oh we love her - she was one of the first Republicans”
If we time it just right we could watch their heads actually spin right off their bodies
How about doing some photoshop magic and find that picture of 0b0la with his Mussolini style chin in the air and put it on the newly proposed $3 bill?
Who are they going to put on the $3 bill?
Obama’s face will go on the $3.00 bill, if you catch my drift.

Paper dollars will be used as toilet paper within one year.
It has nothing to do with “racism”.
This is about Bambi attempting to obliterate the founding fathers.
When the Susan B. dollar came out, Joan Rivers said she wouldn’t put it in the same pocket with George Washington because it would turn him gay.
Relax, and good riddance: the modern Democratic Party was founded under Jackson.

It's a nice picture of the man. He's wearing a cape, hair blown back, looks like a music star about to punch a paparazzi.
About the only bad male depiction on currency is George Washington who looks like a toothless grandma wondering what the kids are doing on her lawn.
There is a reason why we used to use idealized depictions of a young female Liberty.
Yes there is. In terms of significance to the United States, she is a big nothing.
There are no women of any significance (as compared to the founders) in US History. There just isn't.
Now if we had a Margaret Thatcher, that would rise to the level of significance to make someone worthy of being on the currency, but we don't.
I’ll be carrying 10’s and 100’s exclusively.
> Exactly. IMO only presidents should be on our paper money.
Hamilton and Franklin were never presidents, but I sort of agree, only historical significant Americans should be on our bills.
Sure, America has a hundred billion or two lying around to spend on something that won’t create any jobs, help stamp out terrorism or lift anyone out of poverty.
I don’t think it’s going to happen anyway. Jack Lee will be out in a few months.
Since I am white, and therefore a racist by default, the left will be surprised to hear that I have no objection to a true American heroine being featured on our currency.
This guy Lee is an a—hole. Saw him eat up Chris Wallace on Fox. Wallace allows leftists to do that.
Bring back the $500 bill and the $1,000 bill as well.
Put Ronald Reagan on one of them, and Lady Liberty on the other.
Then propose putting a picture of Anthony Johnson (1610-1673) on the bill. Black farmer, entrepreneur and ... first slave owner in the colonies.
Harriet Tubman what were these idiots thinking. You want someone to personify America’s dark years go with Harriet Tubman whom saved seventy families from slavery. But someone like John Hopkins whom started many institutions that exist today regarding the destitute and downtrodden irregardless of color or ethnicity after America became a country is looked over, dumb.
what about Harriet Beecher Stowe, John D. Pockefeller (standard Oil), William Llyod Garrison, Frederick Douglas, or Henry David Thoreau. But America has picked another face on the currency that will go down as a flop.
Put Obama’s face on a penny. Because this worthless piece of excrement is a “penny waiting for change”.
