I’d rather put a real hero like Chris Kyle on the $20 than some made up affirmative action one like Hariet Tubman!

To call Harriet Tubman a “made up” hero shows you have no idea what you’re talking about. You can disagree with the decision and still acknowledge that she led an extraordinary life. Try to show a bit of class in spite of your bitterness.

She risked her own freedom and even her life to do so. That said, Chris deserves the honor as well.

OK, ya got me on this point: I’d rather see Kyle.
But Tubman was not “affirmative action.” She was a FIGHTER. And a gun-toting Republican...

A dozen trips into hostile slaveowning territory do make her a real hero.
I don't think she has the stature of a Washington or Lincoln or Jefferson or Jackson, but there's no denying she had real courage and put her life on the line for freedom.

Harriet Tubman was a hero and justly merits our admiration and respect. As a child born in slavery, she was cruelly treated and experienced a traumatic head wound, thereafter suffering from frequent dizziness, pain, and bouts of sleepiness. Despite such a disability, in her late 20’s, Tubman escaped to freedom in Philadelphia. Then, repeatedly risking her life, Tubman returned again and again to lead her relatives from slavery. During the Civil War, Tubman served the Union Army, first as a cook and nurse, then as a scout and spy operating behind Confederate lines.

Yep, she was totally given those armed incursion missions she led in the Civil War to meet the quotas imposed by the Warren Court on the Union Army.
The only thing more hilarious than your ignorance of history is the fact she would be able to kick your sorry ass in hand to hand combat without breaking a sweat.
