I don't remember any pennies?

As you can see in this image, the United States Government thought so little of the American Indian Native that they took this picture - of a severed Indian head - and put it on the lowest denomination of currency that they had: the penny. This happened in the 1800's. What's worse, after everyone caught on to the latent racism, and realized that it was all based on occidental white male insecurity and the corporations' desire to keep natives subservient, so as to exploit them, they stopped making these so-called "pennies". BUT THEY NEVER DESTROYED THEM. All over this country, old white racists and other republicans are ACTIVELY seeking out these heirlooms of what was to them the highlight of their dominance-based culture. I implore Congress, the President and even the Vice President to ACT NOW and right this wrong. All of these pennies should be destroyed, and the money from the materials melted down should be given back to the Native Americans (with the value adjusted upward for inflation and cost of living, of course). This country did wrong - but we can change it! In the language of Native America, I say, "Gaja na sa maja na", which means, "Yes we can white devil."
Someone who doesn’t read the tags and thinks this is serious in 3...2...1
(LOL)
- so I guess that since Grant is on the $50 bill and Washington is on the $1 bill...
Sign this writer up for Obamacare....obviously she needs an enema.
I don't remember any pennies?
Also the Indian Head / Buffalo nickel between 1913 and 1938.
But seriously ... Indian Head, MD is clearly the most racistly named town in the world.
It should be nuked off the face of the Earth.
someone is seeing visions. Probably due to ingesting too many magic mushrooms.
Yes I did read the original post and know it's a joke
You want to know what’s racist? Making “Black History Month” during the shortest month of the year, ain’t that just like “The Man.”
Back in the day a PENNY was actually worth something.
A rather attrative coin, IMHO...
Jeeeeez! Get a life.
The author of this horrible little piece should be placed on a cold slab, handcuffed and chained, and killer bees should be forced into his airways, and the killer bees should have little tiny chainsaws and salt packets and they should be covered with lye, and then the author should be bitten by dobermans with hot sauce of their teeth.
so the other coins are the severed heads of Lincoln, Roosevelt, Jefferson etc?
This is funny, but there was another common coin, the Indian head nickel, that I would occasionally get in change at the corner convenience store as a youngster well after the Jefferson nickel replaced it. Certainly this would be useful to inflate the toll to be handed to the North American aboriginal line of descent, make the satire more real and get the loonies to bite on it.

OK, I was looking for Scrappleface after reading this. It sure sounds like one of his postings.
