Tubman is out.









Tubgirl is in.




























There’s no place for women – especially women of color – on America’s currency today.














On one hand, replacing the face of Andrew Jackson – a man whose wealth was made on the backs of enslaved black people – with Tubman’s image sounds like an idyllic reversal of fortune. But in examining Tubman’s life, it’s clear that putting her face on America’s currency would undermine her legacy. By escaping slavery and helping many others do the same, Tubman became historic for essentially stealing "property.” Her legacy is rooted in resisting the foundation of American capitalism. Tubman didn’t respect America’s economic system, so making her a symbol of it would be insulting.










I do not believe Tubman, who died impoverished in 1913, would accept the "honor,” were it actually bestowed upon her, of having her face on America’s money. And until the economic injustice against women in America ends, no woman should.

I'd be okay with certain women on currency.

Susan B. Anthony and Sacajawea are already on coins.

What about Clara Barton? Amelia Earhart? Nancy Reagan?

Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea was just the beginning.

Unless  there is a  new unit of currency, like a 3 or 8 dollar bill
Or a 3, 7, 21 cent coin, it needs to stay the same.

Women should only be allowed on odd shaped coins, in unusual denominations and typically of a size too large to fit into the average pocket.

if a woman shows up on anything, it wont be a white one.  have you guys not seen the diversity sunami ??  

it would be ( if possible).... a woman who is... 1/4 hispanic 1/4 indian 1/2 black,  gay,  muslim, etc.   maybe some female founder of global warming or something.... it wont be anyone from history most of us have ever heard about, thats for sure.

its simply not enough to put a woman on anything, or have a woman president.... it will HAVE to be the biggest amount of diversity per pound they can get.  so, no fears about hillary getting elected.   michelle obama??? sure... old rich white woman? fuck no.

Harriet Tubman is preferable to Andrew Jackson. I'll all for it.

I'd pay good money to see Jackson's reaction to being told that his face graced the $20 Federal Reserve Note.
Link Posted: 5/15/2015 2:55:34 PM EDT
[#37]
If Mr Jackson is to be replaced on the twenty dollar bill, I'd  very much like to see the honor go to a woman.  Sadly, there is currently no candidate whose accomplishments and contributions to our nation render her worthy to join the men whose visages grace our currency.   However, if those empowered to make this decision are hell bent on replacing Old Hickory with a woman, I suggest Lady Thatcher.  We have a fucking Kenyan in the White House, might as well have a Brit on the twenty until such time as a suitable American woman emerges.

Harriet Tubman did not fight for capitalism, free trade, or competitive markets.

Normally I'd say that's got to be satire... but I'm just not sure.  It's like Poe's Law given form.


Maybe they should put Anthony Johnson on the 20 instead?

I thought Indian removal was the reason they want to take Jackson off of the $20 bill, and not so much slavery? Are Washington and Jefferson next?

Regardless, it's Hamilton, not Jackson, that needs to go (not that some feel good affirmative action pick should replace him).

OP just doesn't get it.

IT'S OUR TURN TO [fill in the blank here]

Because American society has been "unfair" for so long, it gives women and minorities the right to just uproot and change everything because "it's their turn."

Of course, there are no sunset clauses on when/if those things will be changed back once they get their turn. Sort of like the kid that just runs off with the toy when he finally gets it in his hands, who won't relinquish control until an adult steps in.

Nope.  She founded the Red Cross.  She wasn't a president nor did she have anything remotely equivalent to Ben Franklin's impact on our country.
