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."
Can't say I'd agree on that one...
And “Suka Borna eva daya” Is Indian for welcome to my casino.
Priceless :)
Yep, and there was lot of stuff you could buy with a penny in 1861.
Also, I bet that pennies were the most common coins in most Americans’ pockets in those years (except maybe in the South during the Civil War).
Saca-whatever was on the Louis & Clark ‘long march’.
We post structuralist, post modern citizens of this racist democracy now know she took many, many steps in service to the genocidal White Devils.
Further, we know she did this for money.
Therefore, we know she was just another “Step ‘n Fetchit”.

You're so awesome.
My Man!!!!!
That “Indian” has a greco-roman nose, how racist. Can’t even give a real Native-American the job as a coin model.
obama’s UN speak is on another thread. And yes I said speak.
>> That Indian has a greco-roman nose, how racist.
That nose does look funny... wonder who picked it?
Here’s some trivia. There has never been a US coin called the Penny. It’s true name is the Cent.
A worthy inheritor of Laszlo Toth’s literary mantle!
Too rich!
Just as long as you don't put panties on his head!
“Also the Indian Head / Buffalo nickel between 1913 and 1938.”
And the $2.50, $5.00. and $10.00 gold pieces of the early 1900’s. In fact, the $10 (eagle) was designed by the famous sculptor Augustus St. Gaudens. And although the designer of the $2.50 and $5.00 coins was less noted, they are the only incised coins issued by the US.
American aboriginal cannibals....
