Incorrect. It is a lot of black people that are upset at her being commercialized.

No. There is the fringe, left-wing blacks, the Sharpton-Jackson wing, who are doing this to stoke division because there's going to be some people who will object.

BTW, I'm vehemently opposed to Tubman being on the $20. My belief is that only the Founders should be on currency. But I don't mind if Tubman was on a commemorative coin though.

That idea’s been broken for a while, unfortunately ... Lincoln, Eisenhower, Kennedy are already on our money... some others too.

If it’s just a debit card that’s one thing, but I doubt Tubman, religious woman that she was, would be thrilled about having her image on a credit card since credit cards are a tool that very often leads people back into slavery.
