We’re checking them boxes. One made-up group after another.

Carmen Miranda was more important culturally. Bug Bunny impersonated her.

They are all Woke. Go figure. Even the coins are now weaponized.

Checkbox ticking,
quota-oriented,
identity politics,
craven and crass and cynical pandering,
labored patronizing,
phoney,
Pasture pucks.

Yeah, but was she a communist?

Why yes. Yes she was.

So she's good to go.

Celia Cruz was, and still is, the most popular female Hispanic artist ever. Among Hispanics, that is. She was extremely talented and a staunch anti-Communist. Everybody loves her. Hispanics, that is.

If a modern Hispanic woman deserves any recognition, Celia Cruz is that person. Black or not. We don’t see her as a black performer. She’s just the great Celia Cruz.

“...singer was one of the most popular artists of the 20th century...”


I confess I never heard of Celia Crus until this article. This is not to say she shouldn’t be honored, but would she even make the top 100 artists of the 20th century?

She'd better be trans, genderfluid, or genderqueer...or it's racist.

Foreign born singer no-one has ever heard of is the best they could come up with? Most famous song is not even performed in English? Wow. How about an Einstein coin? Or Edison? Does creation of a new field in physics or inventing the light bulb pale in comparison to a sing-song girl? I know its impossible bc those titans were White and had johnsons, but a foreign born sing-song girl? Is that the achievement to be memorialized by a country’s money? Gives the impression that the gov has to scrape the bottom of the barrel because there’s simply no-one else sufficiently worthy and of the right skin color.

Not that new coinage is a bad idea. My belief is the Sacajawea coin was a flop bc at the time of introduction a dollar could actually buy something and I suppose people weren’t comfortable with more easily misplaced coins. I actually think it would be useful now that today’s dollar is yesterday’s quarter.

Found her....

And maybe another. A “gender equity activist.”

That was before Castro, she never supported Castro, she is an icon in the Cuban community in Miami, and if she was a Communist, that certainly would not have been the case.

Will all the white guys be removed from our paper currency before gov. switches to all-digital fiat?
