1:45 PM PT -- OneUnited Bank prez and chief operating officer Teri Williams is doubling down and standing firm behind the Harriet Tubman debit card. She tells TMZ the bank is "unapologetically black." What's more ... Williams says the debit card design had been in the works since 2016.

I dont believe them when they say they weren't going for the Wakanda pose.
they are getting a lot of heat over this card
Looks fine to me...
Forget all the race posturing - How about it’s just terribly inferior artwork? If they are going to honor her, at least hire a talented artist to do the work.
Looks fine to me also!!! I would say a Black owned bank can do whatever they want to honor black historical people they would like to honor why don’t people just mi d their own business if you don’t like the card choose a different option WTH!!!
I like it! Can I get one through US Bank?
Who is complaining about it?
As long as they don’t mind if whites are unapologetically proud to be white I have no problem with it.
there you go with westernized norms...
It is at least a two pronged problem that has people up in arms.
The commercialization of Harriet Tubman who was against using people as a commodity...and then the Wakanda pose.
I think the artwork is horrible...from an aesthetic viewpoint
Looks more like Idi Amin than Harriet Tubman. :-P
I agree about the quality of the artwork.
old photo techniques could be the reason it looks like that

They can do as they like, but racism is racism regardless of the color of the racist’s skin.
What’s with the crossed arms? They think she was a psycho revolutionary???
What’s the problem with it? She was a badass
Agree. At least give it class!
Was she an R or D?
She was something else. Some one I would look up to if
i was black.
I’ve seen a couple images of her that I think are wonderful. One is a mural of her reaching out to the viewer. This one I don’t like so much, but it is okay. I wonder what she would think of this. Probably laugh and tell everyone to get over it. She was in the Union Army for 3 years and was the first woman to command Union troops. An amazing life.
Like the song says, take a Wakanda wild side.
