Of course Tubman is a great American who deserves to be honored,

Put her on a $1 coin. If it was good enough for President Eisenhower and Susan B. Anthony . . .

I agree on Jackson. Never liked the guy for defying the rule of law, and Tubman is was a gun-toting, anti-slavery American. That’s an improvement as far as I concerned.

In reality does anyone really care who's picture is on the face of our currency? Does it really matter? What really matters is the actual value of the bill. As long as the value of say a $20.00 bill remains constant, the only picture I NEVER want to see would be odumbo’s picture.

Roger that. This is all a great big lead in to the ol Big Ear Muslim to getting his likeness chiseled next to the real presidents on Mt Rushmore. That is all it is.

Obama is putting his foot in the door for that.

You are just spouting liberal nonsense.

Slavery happened and is still happening via the illegals that come across the border and the companies that hire them and force OUR wages down.

Why not talk about here and now?

How about the Chinese illegals that are being shipped in and made to work out of the slop houses to pay for their transportation over here but never pay it off. Not only is that slavery happening now, it is driving OUR wages down.

Why not talk about here and now?

Next you will be for reparations for and above what we have already payed the blacks thru the Farm Subsidy scam. Or have you failed to keep informed about that?

I would’a picked a better picture, but yeah, that’s the concept.

“If justice had its way, Democrat would be an earned dirty word alongside of KKK.”

Amen to that. For many Americans, ‘democrat’ is already a word associated with salty language, but for far too many, it’s not.

Have you noticed that white heroes, e.g. Columbus, are people who have actually accomplished great things. Black heroes, for the most part, have done only one thing: further the interests of blacks, usually at the expense of whites.
It would be much more appropriate to put the Tubman on an EBT card.

If they have to put a Black person on the 20, why not George Washington Carver or Booker T Washington? These were men who exemplified the rise from slavery into prominence and respectability, the new hope and promise inherent in freedom, achieved through hard work and education.

Or is the objective to remind daily that people escaped from slavery before it was eliminated, which only peels back the scabs from the cultural wound which will not be allowed to heal.

I meant to add in my agreement and second your motion but it still bore repeating, thanks

Common sense and the seeking of truth often prevail among those who value their freedom. Thanks for the note.

The $20 will have Jackson on it again.

The problem is that it will be Jesse.
