The United States Mint has started distributing quarters featuring the image of Maya Angelou , making the poet and activist the first (b)lack woman to appear on US currency.
“Each time we redesign our currency, we have the chance to say something about our country, what we value and how we’ve progressed as a society,” US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said.
Angelou is depicted with outstretched arms on the quarter. Behind her are a bird in flight and a rising sun, images inspired by her poetry. […]
The US mint is planning to issue 20 quarters over four years honoring women and their achievements.
Other women set to appear on the coins include Sally Ride, the first American woman in space; Wilma Mankiller, first female principal chief of the Cherokee Nation; Nina Otero-Warren, a suffrage leader; and Anna May Wong, a Chinese-American film star. …

“There’s a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth.

Facts can obscure and destroy the false narratives a lousy poet wishes to bamboozle others with!
The Anti Angelou!
bang bang...
he shot you down.....
Amy Schneider. Don’t give them any ideas. Next you’ll be suggesting they honor Rachel Levine, the first “female” 4-star general.
He’ll have to die first.

I’m sure they’ll have to come up with at least three more black women before the series ends. Maybe she’ll make it.
Racists in the media capitalize the word “black” and no other racial group to express superiority of blacks over other races.
The poster declined to participate in the racism.
And Oswald Bates.
William Charles Rogers before he became chief did in

defense in the murder of a deputy during a period
of high attrition numbers. RIP deputy Taylor.
Remember the “never meet a man he didn’t like’ phrase?
That was Will Rogers uncle and his dad bailed him out.
I’ll give it a listen tomorrow. Regardless, Whitney Houston probably has a better chance of being honored on a quarter in woke America.
Search comes back to your post. Brutal parody....
The moral relativity that Democrats, therefore a lot of black culture, embrace often lead them to the conclusion that facts can be uncomfortable because they can’t be twisted or manipulated based on how they feel.

Facts don’t paint the type of picture they prefer.
Maya Angelou becomes first low grade moron to appear on US coin
Can’t do that, has anyone noticed that Aunt Jemima Syrup and Pancake Mix is now marketed/sold under Pearl Milling Company now ?

132 Years with negligible, if any complaints about the Name and Image. Probably not going to matter anyway because soon there won’t be any on the shelves to buy.
Next will be the scrubbing of anything about The Navaho Code Talkers that helped defeat the Japanese in WWII...
“By punching him, you tried to reason.”
BRAINDEAD
And I will refuse any change that contains her image as she was a racist and proved it. During Bill Clinton’s inaugural she recited a poem she wrote and named every race...except white people. F that witch with a donkey richard.
The original way it was written was “Black”, i.e. the capitalized anti-white racist form. The parentheses are one way of indicating that the original text did not appear that way.
