The New York Times editorial board called for South Carolina to take down the Confederate flag because it's racist. They said:
State lawmakers who must vote on removing it need to do that now and show the nation they understand the pain this symbol of hate and brutality causes to this day.
So the reason for all the renewed controversy surrounding the flag is because the man charged with killing nine African-Americans in church was seen waving it in photographs. Ok. So any symbol with a strong relation to racism should not be celebrated by the government. Got it?
But last month the New York Times published an opinion piece that none other than Margaret Sanger should be on the $20 bill.
Margaret Sanger didn’t just introduce the idea of birth control into our culture at large, she freed women from indenture to their bodies. Through her activism, Sanger introduced and eventually normalized the discourse about women’s bodies and fertility so women could decide not only when, but if, they would have children. No longer were women’s bodies subject — politically, personally, or medically — to the whims of men. Sanger’s efforts to promote birth control were originally directed toward working class women who were disproportionately affected by a lack of access to reproductive healthcare. When, in 1921, she founded the

Well, what's one more article added to the list...First the flag, now the duke's of hazard's car, civil war monuments, anything else we have to remove or change? But it's ok to put sanger on US currency. Why Planned Parenthood’s Margaret Sanger Shouldn’t Be on the $20 Bill Maybe racist eugenicist Margaret Sanger doesn’t need to be on the $20 bill New Group Wants To Put Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger on the $20 Bill

They CAN NOT put Margaret Sanger on the $20
..They CAN NOT put Margaret Sanger on the $20...”
Wanna bet? I wouldn’t be surprised if the libs to put Karl Marx on the C note.
I will NEVER accept a $20 without Hamilton on it..On the $3 bill should be Obama since he is as phony as a $3 bill.
You know, since the driving force behind her initiatives was the elimination of blacks.
I a concession to the times, I'll compromise on Lizzie Borden. /s
Put “bruce” jenner on the bill. That should solve everything...no???
Agree Not a safe bet.
Sanger is a scourge on our culture and history and continues to be.
Presumably, you accept it right now.
Andrew Jackson is on the $20.
lizzie killed a lot less people and didn’t kill any blacks, so she’s better than racist margaret sanger, LOL....these people at the NY times are nuts.
Support for the murder of the unborn outweighs her racism.
Maybe they could have an artist’s rendering of what a transgendered Hamilton would have looked like.
We already have the transgendered Washington....Barbara Bush.
NEVER, EVER give in to liberal demands because there is a never ending list of demands.
LOL
Nation of Islam flags are ok.
Palestinian Flags are ok.
Nazi memorabilia ok too.
Rule #1: The person must have been dead for at least fifty years so as to judge more accurately the person's influence.
Rule #2: The person would appear on a bill for ten years only, after which there would be a new face on the bill.
I have proposed variations of this idea elsewhere.
$100 bill: dedicated to American military prowess. Our first $100 bill of this series would bear the face of George Patton. After ten years, McArthur or some other great military leader would appear.
$50 bill: dedicated to American arts. Our first $50 would contain the face of George Gershwin.
$20 bill: dedicated to American letters. Our first bill would show Mark Twain. After ten years, Faulkner or some other author would appear.
$10 bill: dedicated to American sports. Babe Ruth would appear on the first bill. After 10 years, Ty Cobb might be a good second choice.
$5 bill: dedicated to American science. Thomas Edison would be a no-brainer.
Using the Canadian example, I'd have the $1 coin replace the $1 bill, and Sacajawea would be fine. Before we started putting presidents on coins, we used female or Indian depictions of Liberty. This coin does both.
The American flag, should go.
It was chosen by the early Americans, many of whom were slave owners. Therefore, it’s a symbol of racism. Take it down!
Wait for the tolerance crowd push to get “Dixie” banned as “hate” music. And after that who knows? The US flag? “Stars and Stripes Forever”?
